Connor Roy, the mostineffectualSuccessionsibling, has some questionable beliefs.Cryogenics, for one.
Belief in himself as a viable candidate for president.
You get the idea.
Not a screw-top red blend from the bodega, but the virtues of literally blending your wine.
Connor calls it hyperdecanting, and chastises Shiv for not keeping up with the program: I hyperdecant.
Youre just doing regular decanting?
Whatever the dominant process, the traditional decanter is a rather pathetic tool to accomplish it.
A few years ago, I found I could get much better results by using an ordinary kitchen blender.
I call it hyperdecanting.
But does anyone actually hyperdecant IRL?
Are we missing out by just doing regular decanting?
After all, Connor seems prettyconfident in a kitchen.
Connor tells Shiv that she should hyperdecant because it softens the tannins, ages the aromas.
it’s possible for you to age your wines five years in ten seconds, truly.
Is there any merit to these claims?
Grays considered it: No.
Wine is a delicate thing.
Im trying to imagine what that would taste like.
I feel like all of that aggression would probably make it more aggressive, actually, on the palate.
Grays said she wouldnt advise it, unless for the sake of experimentation.
For fun with friends.
But ideally, no.
She added, Does it sound far fetched?
For those of us watchingSuccessionat home,Grays suggested a fizzy pet-nat or something high-low.
But not Burgundy in a Magic Bullet.
Ugh, it just hurts my heart!
