With all the pods out there focusing on the beverage industry The Reluctant Somm is more of a chat or sit down with friends while discovering what the life is really like. I recommend opening up a vino that doesn’t make you go into the grid but just allows you to sit back and feel like you are part of the conversation. Chris is killing the game on the industry job side but also allows me to listen and decompress. Keep killing it!
Open and honest industry talk with Chris, who is a wonderful human and very entertaining to listen to. Topics covered are diverse and interesting for all positions in hospitality.
