Flying for the holidays? Let Mark Oldman show you how to build a “booze bag,” his way of getting a stash of wine from point A to point B. He also introduces you to the lychee-fueled sensuality of Gewurztraminer, a Chardonnay-alternative that is perfect with spicy food. And he describes how “Year of the Cat” singer-songwriter Al Stewart introduced Fleetwood Mac’s Mick Fleetwood to Gewurtz at a London curry house.
