Wine With Friends
Welcome to the Wine With Friends Podcast, where meaningful connection and thoughtful conversation are always present when we share wine intentionally.
Hosted by Marcus Ginyard and produced by Pablo Vega, each episode brings together great people, great stories, and great wine.
Marcus sits down with friends, athletes, creatives, and wine experts to talk about life—where they’ve been, what they’ve learned, and where they’re headed next. Through honest conversations and shared pours, the show explores how wine has a unique way of slowing things down and bringing people together.
Whether you’re a wine enthusiast or just someone who loves meaningful conversation, Wine With Friends is about connection, community, and enjoying the moment—one glass at a time. 🍷
