What happens when a behavioral scientist sets out to recreate the perfect bottle of wine? You get Rush Lattin. 🍷
Welcome back to another episode of Poppin’ Bottles with Brandon and Barry!
Today, we have an absolute legend in the studio: Larry Ransom, the passionate winemaker and co-founder of Rush Lattin. Larry shares his serendipitous journey from chasing his “Holy Grail” wine to building a beautiful, community-driven tasting room in Snohomish, WA.
In this episode, we’re popping four absolutely exceptional 2023 vintages. Barry gets to do what he does best—sit back, consume, and experience the incredible layers of these Washington heavyweights—while Brandon keeps the technical production dialed in and drops some serious knowledge about why he thinks these wines are so exceptional.
From the silky tannins of their premium Syrah to an exclusive first taste of “Illuminate,” a brand-new 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, this is a lineup you do not want to miss.
