From the iconic European houses to the New Zealand boutique family vineyard, they all come to London. This podcast is an effort to get to know the personality behind the wine. They might be quirky, funny, charming, or taciturn but above all, they are always generous with their time and wine, wine people are some of the most interesting around.
