Chateau Latour comes up in 3 chapters across 3 episodes of The No Agenda Show, from December 2007 to April 2021.
During a dinner at Cliveden House in England, a guest considered ordering a 1953 Chateau Latour from a wine list described as being as thick as a phone directory. The wine was priced between 2,400 and 3,400 pounds, significantly lower than its estimated U.S. market value of $7,500. Ultimately, the purchase was abandoned because the dining companions did not wish to drink wine that evening.

Chip Berlet argued that American evangelicalism is distinct for its focus on the "end times," which leads to a distrust of political and scientific leaders. He claimed that corporate profiteers fund anti-science rhetoric to maintain their lifestyles, such as drinking "Chateau Latour," while the earth faces environmental collapse. The hosts mock these assertions as disconnected from reality.
A visit to Cliveden House leads to a discussion regarding the exorbitant pricing of vintage wines on restaurant menus.
