Wine Sandwich

Joe Roberts,  author of 1WineDude.com, joins Laurie to talk about a new PSU Study by John Hayes that says wine pros taste differently than everyday wine lovers. Joe Roberts is a certified wine geek and has been called “an original” by media maven Gary Vaynerchuk, “provocative” by the Seattle Times and “a Robin Hood in the exclusive world of vineyards and corkings” by The Urban Grocer. You may find Joe regularly roasting wine’s sacred cow (and pairing them with a robust, obscure red) at the award-winning 1WineDude.com.
