Excellent podcast

I’ve been listening to the podcast as an aside to my WSET Level 3 studies, and it has been so helpful. The level of details is just right for Level 3, and it’s so nice to hear about all the wine growing and winemaking techniques from producers themselves, from all over the world. I’ll keep on listening even though my Level 3 is over!
