Stacy Brsiscoe didn't set out to be a wine journalist when she got out of college with a degree in American Literature, but as often happens, wine found her! She tells Mike about slowly building a wine writing career on multiple platforms; the first time she really "got it" when drinking wine - there were lots of people around; about how she takes the sometimes "dry" business side of the wine world and makes it interesting (it's all about finding the people!); and what to avoid when taking a wine-drinking selfie. The two also sip and chat about a couple of deliciuos wines, discuss Stacy's former life as a personal trainer and her early years studying with the Jesuits! How can you not want to listen?

Mike chats with Nicholson Ranch Chief Wine Scientist Jean-Claude Pijanowski. JC (as they call him at the winery) discusses his time in wine and his prior time working at NASA, including the time he met his hero Carl Sagan (and things got a little weird). The guys also taste two great wines from faraway lands, discuss the outlook for the 2020 and 2021 vintages, Mike introduces the Podcasts latest merchandise, and eventually the discussion turns to teleportation, time travel, the Billionaire Space Race and more! There is NO other wine podcast like it.
