Rod Phillips is the "Dork Uncorked." He's worked in many aspects of the wine industry from serving it to importing it to selling it to... well... drinking it. His mission is to break down barriers and talk about wine in a fun, accessible way. He joins co-host Ryan Price every week for a lively discussion and recommendations for great bottles for reasonable prices, usually under $20. Podcasting from Victoria, B.C., Canada, the show has a Vancouver Island flavour but isn't limited to British Columbia wines.
