All you knew about wine is about to bust wide open… We are going to talk about what really happens in the wine business, and I'm taking no prisoners. Learn more at: https://www.winetalkspodcast.com/.

I am your host, Paul Kalemkiarian, 2nd generation owner of the Original Wine of the Month Club, and I am somewhere north of 100,000 wines tasted.
