When he landed his first job at the iconic Wine Cask in Santa Barbara, he was asked to stock the fine Burgundy section in order of vineyards from north to south; this is a tough task for an experienced wine academic, let alone a “first day on the job” kinda thing.

Stories of tasting bars, restaurants, films, and more will be heard.  You may have to listen to it twice.
