Customer Reviews
So much fun
I always look forward to new episodes. It feels like I’m sitting with my best friends talking about great wine and books. Great insight and I only wish I could find some of the wines more easily where I live. Please keep new content coming !
Wine and books
This show is all about the best wine and what to read while drinking it. Great show by great people
Fun podcast!
This is a fun podcast featuring two fascinating women with opinions on just about everything from wine to movies to language to daily happenings in their lives in Mallorca. I only docked them one star because they need to be a bit closer to their microphone when recording their episodes. But content wise it is spot on and fun to listen to.
