Last year we started our talk show Cellar Talks with some great guest. We learned from great wineries like Pelassa Wines, Weingut Rappenhof and Belondrade Wines. But we also listened to inspiring professionals like wine educator James Flewellen, best selling author Vanessa Price and Yamit telling us all about her innovative wine puzzles.
Now it is time to move forward and talk about what is coming next, because we have got news for you!
