  • Excellent Series on Business Aspects around the Beverage Industry

    Very informative, topical and “user friendly” podcast series about the business aspects surrounding the current landscape of the wine, spirits and non-alcoholic beverage world. I just listened to the episode with Aly Wente (of Wente Vineyards, California) which was excellent (and I think will be of interest to producers in any region). Looking forward to future episodes!
