Manage episode 359475806 series 2979385
(PASSPORT TOUR) The biddies resume the passport tour with a visit to Moldova, one of the oldest wine-producing regions of the world.

In this episode:
- Moldova's long history of winemaking
- The Soviet Union's role in keeping Moldovan wine largely undiscovered outside of eastern Europe
- Moldovan native varietals such as feteasca alba and the international varietals grown there
- Moldova's wine producing regions
- Wine caves so big and long that you can take a tour in a car (or in a gold plated buggy if you're Vladimir Putin)
