Don't Be Afraid To Ask Questions feat. Dustin Wilson, Co-Founder/Partner, Verve Wine

Wine Connoissaurus Rex

They say you should never meet your heroes... and they are wrong. Dustin and I spent nearly an hour discussing all parts of the wine industry from his start and how to build knowledge to the direction it seems to be going, how to talk to people about wine, and why we all need to do our best to track down the bottle of DRC Dustin hasn't yet tried. He also almost witness me getting a concussion... more on that a few minutes into the episode. Although we didn't drink anything in this episode, as a thank you to both he and Sarah Thomas from episode 15, they will be enjoying a bottle of Domaine de la Côte Blooms Field some time in the (near?) future.
