The shocking vineyard stories you need to hear

November 5, 2021

THE VINEYARD STORIES YOU HAVEN’T HEARD

The stories you don’t hear in wine-education classes or read about in magazines are the most important ones out there. These are the stories of brutality and enslavement in vineyards—practices that continue to this day. Prepare to be shocked, surprised, and enlightened by Ep. 97 of The Four Top.
Meet our panelists: Stephen Satterfield, the host of High on the Hog on Netflix, has worked as an activist on behalf of South African vineyard workers. Stephen is also a food writer, sommelier, podcaster, and the founder of Whetstone Media. Deborah Parker Wong is a writer, teacher, wine judge, and the Global Wine Editor of SOMM Journal and The Tasting Panel magazines. She also edited the Slow Wine Guide USA 2021.

You can listen to Episode 96 of The Four Top through our dedicated site, as well as your favorite podcast app.

Check it out on NASDAQ at WVVIP—it’s a publicly traded stock, available to anyone. Preferred Stock is offered at $5.05 per share with a 4.36% annual dividend. As an owner, you’ll receive a 25% discount on wine, an annual wine credit and other benefits. Thanks to Willamette Valley Vineyards for its support of The Four Top.

At the end of Ep. 97, you’ll hear our “dessert wine” recommendations, including a “rockin’ out rosé,” an inspirational new hobby, and—more food for thought—a fascinating article on a controversy in the natural wine world, featured in The Cut.

Curious to learn more? We post our panelists’ “dessert wine” recommendations on our social media feeds, as a slideshow on Instagram or as separate Twitter posts. Just follow us to get those sweet, sweet recommendations.

WHAT’S FOR DESSERT?
