Hear all about the development of one of the great tools for serious (and not so serious) wine drinkers, Cellar Tracker, from the man who came up with it, Eric LeVine. Eric also talks about growing up in Boston, going to Harvard, then moving to Seattle and working for Microsoft! Also, Mike talks about trying (and failing) to get someone from Costco to come on the podcast, they just don't do it. Nonetheless he does taste a wine from Costco.
