Fun Podcast

I love the informative storytelling. Dave and Ray do a great job discussing the wines for this lay-winedrinker.

Cheers to a great podcast!

I don’t know much about wine personally, but this podcast is inspiring me to start paying a bit more attention to what I drink. The hosts, Dave and Ray, clearly know their stuff which is very helpful, but more importantly they have great personalities and chemistry with one another. Great podcast to crack open a bottle of wine to and drink along with two fun guys! Cheers to many future episodes!
