What do guitars and grenache have in common? More than you'd think. Today, we're joined by Jesse Hudson—musician turned wine industry newcomer—to unpack his unorthodox path into wine. Together, we challenge the idea that wine should be an elite pursuit, argue why it’s time to shake up the industry, and explore the magic of keeping an open mind (and palate).
This episode is for anyone who’s felt like an outsider looking in—whether you're a sommelier, a hospitality pro, or just someone curious about wine. Jesse keeps it real as we talk journeys, humility, and why wine should belong to everyone.
Grab a glass, hit play, and join the conversation. 🎙🍷
