  • Must listen!

    Drinks Insider is in my top three podcasts for wine. Felicity takes complex topics and interviews experts on those topics in a way that is thought-provoking, challenging, and simultaneously respectful. I love the nuggets and insights gleaned from each episode regardless of the topic. No weekend is complete for me without a walk with my dog and a drinks Insider podcast in my ear.
