Engaging conversations

This podcast has been really interesting lately. I really like the conversations. Wine can so boring and pretentious but these conversations are not. I’m into it!

Print

I am a subscriber to the magazine and intend for it to stay that way. I enjoy it very much. Unfortunately this podcast is terrible. It is pretentious and often unlistenable. There are much better wine podcasts. Time to reboot this one.
