Bay Area native Brian Kulich started working in restaurants as a teen, and eventually worked in, and ran wine programs for Michelin Starred hot spots! Then Covid came and a dream of owning his own wine brand became a reality. Hear about the genesis of Brian David Wines, the state of the business, and find out about "purse wine". It's a fun chat.

A really fun guest from the first year of the podcast returns! Stacy Briscoe is a Sonoma-based journalist who loves exploring the ins and outs of the wine business. She's also a student of wine who's achieved the WSET Diploma Level Certification, and will eventually be a Master Of Wine. She and Mike compare the WSET with the Court of Master Sommeliers, touch on the latest "challenge" that has the whole wine industry talking AND sip a few delicious wines. Check it out!

I'm sure you'd love to see behind the scenes, the cool labels on the wines being sipped, what everyone looks like(!!), and the gear. Check it all out on Mike's Instagram.

Spencer Christian was the main weatherman on ABC's Good Morning America from the mid 1980s through the 1990s, and he's still at it, working the weather desk at ABC7 in San Francisco now for the past 25 years! Early in his career he developed a serious wine habit (and another habit we talk about). Spencer and Mike share a couple of wines, and delve into a life lived "on TV".
