  • Great Content!

    I have loved the content on this pod. I found the pod last week and have already made it through your entire episode history. I am here in southeast US looking at the wine industry trying to learn more.

    As a young professional in finance this pod met me at my level and gave me some of the inside baseball around the business, which has been SUPER helpful. Thank you for putting this program together and keeping it going!
