I am not a sommelier or sponsored by a brand I highly recommend but I think this topic is important because I get asked all the time if I allow my clients to drink wine. The answer is yes but the more I've learned about the wine industry and the process under which it is made especially in the United States, I'm pickier about the type or company I recommend. Even if you don't drink wine, I think you'll find this episode interesting.
