Hey, you… Vino, come over here…Kaz invents another new word! In the meantime, he and Randy have a nice session with Rick Breslin of Hello Vino, talking about their iPhone application, what Vintank thinks of them, and what’s in their pipeline. Then their ears turn to Eric Arnold, deputy lifestyle editor at Forbes and author of First Big Crush, who riffs about the appalling state of the Australian wine industry and the lesson that is being missed by the rest of the worldwide wine industry.

Freaky good times, and the podcast is a full ten minutes longer than the radio broadcast! You’re welcome!
