Brian Drake, Mike's best wine pal, hosts Mike and the podcast at his home. Brian works in the Corporate Wine World, but is still a super nice guy. They discuss Brian's unique winery job, the fun things overheard while people taste wine, Mike's ambition to fill in for Terry Gross (Hello? NPR???), and a special shout-out to Anchorage Alaska! Of course all while tasting a couple of delicious California red wines.
