Very nice podcasts!!!

Lawrence knows how to share his passion about wine. His podcasts are the perfect way to know more about wine and hospitality.
His podcasts are fun, interviewed people are relaxed and share with generosity their experience.

Great way to discover fantastic winemaker

It’s great listening to all these podcasts. So much to learn, a great way to understand the philosophy of each winemaker, to understand « who is the man behind the bottle ». Well done!
