What happens when the world's wealthiest people can’t tell a counterfeit bottle of wine from the real thing? In this episode, Rachael and Roxanne talk about the documentary Sour Grapes, which tells the story of Rudy Kurniawan, the charming con artist who infiltrated elite wine circles and sold millions of dollars worth of counterfeit wine. Join us as we talk about defrauding the rich, the importance of government regulations, and why a BLT is not the same thing as a $10,000 bottle of wine.
