41: The Batman / Bussola Valpolicella Ripasso

You're Gonna Need a Bigger Bottle

This discussion contains actually shockingly few spoilers for the plot of THE BATMAN, but there are some! You've been warned!

What is it about this grungy, assured, maximalist take on the Caped Crusader that has Scott so enthralled and Jamie so annoyed? How does the super serious vibe of director Matt Reeves’ three hour Bat-reboot pair with the bottlings of heralded winemaker Tomasso Bussola? What does Gotham City smell like? Put on your emo eyeliner, crank up the Nirvana, and pour a glass before you press Play.
