    Episode 26 – Andrew Jefford: Drinking with the Valkyries
    Feb 23 2023
    In this episode, Catherine Bugué sits down with Andrew Jefford to have a deep conversation, with a focus on Andrew’s recent book, “Drinking with the Valkyries”. Andrew speaks with conviction on finding pleasure in affordable wines while championing wines from lesser known regions like Liguria, Bandol and Georgia. You will find yourself deeply involved in the people and places in his stories, and each story is a lesson in a wine or a wine region you must know. Andrew weaves must-know wines and regions into human stories that touch on personal lives, regional strife, hidden gems, and more.
