In HBO’s ‘Succession,’ Food Exists Only to Create More Misery | Eater
"A bottle from the pair’s own wine property is opened in a hotel suite and inspected more for status than terroir: initially impressive because it’s biodynamic, the wine loses its glamour once a screw-cap is revealed and the tasting notes — “earthy” and “agricultural” — lead the couple to conclude the bottle simply isn’t very good. The episode uses the experience to show that ownership of luxury things doesn’t guarantee enjoyment and that for Tom these indulgences are among the few sources of genuine pleasure." - Amy McCarthy
