Love the podcast! Please get the audio figured out though the last few are hard to listen to with the right and left audio
This is one of my favourite wine related podcasts! MJ’s interview style is really good and he gets his guests to tell their stories from a personal perspective. Sad to see this podcast go! However, there are some episodes I will listen to over again because they were that good! Listening from BERMUDA, great show!
Love the pod but you need to fix the audio. Need a new mic setup please. I can’t listen to it anymore with such poor audio quality. Fix that and I’m in!
Really enjoy this wine podcast. One of the most entertaining you will find.
Insightful, humorous and good vibes! Absolutely chill!
Perfect for dark fall evenings, mood lighting, and connected HomePods throughout the house.
Not a single bottle of Grenache in our cellar, but I’m looking into it. White Burgundy ✅.
