Hard truth: talking about wine is not nearly as easy as drinking it.

In fact, it takes talent, a massive amount of knowledge and a trained palate to be an expert in the industry.

On today’s episode, I’m joined by 16-year restaurant professional, Dustin French, who’s not only a sommelier at one of the best steakhouses in the country, but the keeper of the keys to the world’s largest wine cellar.

Tune in to hear an honest conversation about wine, including everything from the basics to the intimate details of making juice that lives on for generations.
