4 Glasses to Finish Wine Podcast
Good friends Dave and Ray drink 4 glasses of wine and try to finish them while sharing laughs and chatting about wine-related topics, such as wine regions, pairings, and news, along with catching up about life, travels, and more. Wine is the nexus of many things: culture, history, art, science, politics … but most of all, wine is fun! 4 Glasses to Finish (4GTF) is an accessible wine podcast where knowledge about wine is not a prerequisite, and aims to discuss widely accepted ideas and concepts in the wine world in a way that is palatable for everyone.
