This episode I am joined by the energetic and talented TV presenter and drinks writer Aidy Smith. You will find out why Californian wine has a special place in his heart, and I could have titled this episode "Every region, but Napa!" But we do tend to focus mostly on the slightly lesser known Central Coast. Plus Aidy does a great job mentioning many great value wines sub £15.

We also touch on his work bringing the world: "life hacks for a calmer 2021", and his push for diversity, inclusivity and general happiness for the industry.
