October 28 American Wine Stories: MJ Towler And The Grenache Festival
I don't know if we think about this much, but American wine is part of global Wine history. We have looked to Europe for inspiration in the past, but what's happening now in the United States is one of the most unique wine cultures in existence. So I want to start documenting this moment in our history, and for the first one, I want to talk to MJ Towler, The Black Wine Guy from the Wine Beats & Life podcast, about his Grenache Fest. Yeah, Grenache- there's a Grenache festival in Washington state every year. This is how we do wine in America. It's awesome. What a great interview. What a great conversation with my good friend MJ.
