    Welcome to Quacks who Quaff, the podcast which combines the history of medical sciences and wine reviewing! In our first episode we review the 2013 Salice Salentino Riserva and go back to 1920s America to learn how a mysterious illness amongst cows led to the discovery of warfarin before travelling to Italy a millennium ago to look at what the very first medical school was like.
