Episode 008: The New Burgundian Mindset
Over the last few years, the desire to drink a wine or whiskey from a special place or prized location has become so profound that's it forced the entire industry to respond.

Napa winemaking legend Steve Matthiasson joins us this episode to talk about the importance of human intervention in the production process and why our own personalities matter when it comes making something truly special.
