Why don't we see Cab Franc on more "By The Glass" Wine Lists? Is there a reason for it?

Master Sommelier Carlos Santos is here to debunk the mystery as we take a deep dive into this wonderful mix of red and black fruit wine.

 

Wines we tasted:

Thierry Germain Domaine des Roches Neuves Saumur-Champigny Franc de Pied

2021 Cabernet Sauvignon / Cabernet Franc / Merlot

In this episode we discuss:

  • Is Cab Franc Over or Underrated?
  • The different names of the wine around the world
  • The history of the winemaker of Domaine des Roches Neuves
  • Does Australia's wine from 'Sorrenberg' match the French comparison?
  • Assessing their different qualities and characteristics

Ever felt a bit lost staring at a wine list or wondering what you're actually tasting in your glass? Got Somme is here to help, without any of the pretence. This isn't a stuffy lecture; it's a conversation between Master Sommelier Carlos Santos and his mate, radio announcer Angus O'Loughlin, who's keen to learn but starting from scratch. Each episode, Carlos guides Angus-and by extension, all of us-through the fundamentals, breaking down everything from grape varieties and regional styles to understanding why a wine tastes the way it does. The real magic happens when they're joined by some of the world's most respected winemakers, who share the stories and craft behind their bottles. You'll hear Carlos explain how to pick a good wine from a bad one, demystifying terms like tannin and terroir along the way. It's an accessible, often funny journey into wine, perfect for anyone who enjoys a glass but wants to understand the world behind it. Produced by SESSION in PROGRESS, this podcast turns curiosity into genuine knowledge, one bottle at a time.
