About this episode
The passing of world-renowned wine critic Yutaka Kanzaki sends shockwaves through the industry... but perhaps nobody is more surprised by his passing than his son, Shizuku, who has been estranged from his father for many years and in an act of defiance after his harsh upbringing, never touched a drop of wine...But upon hearing from his father's lawyer, Shizuku discovers that if he wants claim his inheritance, the world's most expensive wine collection, he must correctly identity 13 wines: 12 'apostles' and a wine cryptically referred to as 'The Drops of God' in a competition against another renowned wine critic, Issei Tomine, who was adopted by his father just before his passing!This week, Mat sits down once more with Árni Beck Gunnarsson to talk The Drops of God by Tadashi Agi and Shin Kibayashi!
