Before we dive in, I’d like to put a spotlight on a member of our podcast community with you. Deb Pordrigal of British Columbia wrote in to say, “Excellent episode with festive wines, the Mouse Wine Defect and wine Trends to ignore is very interesting.

She’s referring to episode 45. Go back and have a listen if you missed it.

Okay, on with the show!
