Reviews

4.5 out of 5 stars from 4 ratings
  • Disappointing

    I have found very little truly valuable information or insight in the last few episodes. When did this podcast become a mouthpiece for celebrity brands and big houses? Surely there are more relevant topics within the field of agave distillates than that you think these celebrity brands just all taste great.
