Episode 174 - Indicate THIS

In this Bar Cart Foundations Episode, we take a deep dive into Geographical Indications - you know - those things that verify where your booze comes from. Some of the guests who share their wisdom in this compilation format include:

• Melanie Asher, founder of Macchu Pisco
• Effie Panagopoulous, founder of KLEOS Mastiha
• RB Wolfensberger, distiller of Grey Wolf Spirits
• Matt Pietrek, Rum Wonk
• Lou Bank & Chava Periban, Hosts of the Agave Road Trip Podcast
• Lance Winters, Master Distiller at St. George Spirits

The material we cover here is meant to be a crash course of sorts. There are many levels of nuance that we do not cover. However, if you're looking to understand the large-scale forces that affect the legal production and distribution of the spirits you drink, this is a great place to start.
