UNITED WE TASTE: Session 10 Australia is BURNING!

When I think about Australia the only image in my head is the images of massive fires that on the news in 2019. And my friends who were posting on Instagram their live experience while on vacation. Climate Change IS REAL and it effects wine! Australia is large country (and continent btw) Can’t wait to get into the deep dive about Australian wines and terroir.
