Kaz and Randy are determined to stuff your head full of all the latest wine news and information, because they are (or at least claim to be) the Encyclopedia of Useless Information! Also, Wine Biz host emeritus Eric Aho calls in from the retirement chateau to ask about wine competition and scruples.
Kaz and Randy get chatty about Randy’s grape harvest, the Great American Beer Festival, and they bring all the best wine blog info to your ears this week.
Kaz forgets his notes, Randy leaves The Book at home, but we still manage to pull it off. Today we have Eric Arnold (author of First Big Crush) call in and fill us in on the inside story of becoming a cellar rat in New Zealand’s Marlborough wine region. Also Randy’s longtime school buddy Scott calls in and gets to hang with Kaz on the air. Good times. Hey, we also talk about wine too, have a listen!
Kaz and Randy have Tom Wark (of Wark Communications) come to visit. The weather gets predicted, The Book gets reviewed, Randy retches about liver-oyster-mushroom-eggplant casserole, podcasts as Chia pets, Josie Gay of Heart of Sonoma Valley promotes this weekend’s Spotlight on Zinfandel event, as well as previewing next spring’s Barrel Tasting. Kaz officially invents online wine tasting (just lick your monitor), and you get all the latest news you’ve come to expect from Wine Biz Radio.
We always have a good time in the studio, even if it’s just Kaz and myself. However, we truly shine when we have someone share the joy of hearing themselves on the radio.
Anyhow, I thought it would be interesting to see if any of our listeners had ideas for who they’d most like to hear us interview on Wine Biz Radio. You’ll get extra credit if we can actually interview them.
See you on Monday!
Randy loses his headphones, Kaz channels Don Rickles, the Kaz Family Wine Competition is announced, and we throw information at your ears as quickly as our lips can move. And no, we don’t “get to the book.” That’ll be next week.
