In this episode, Jonathan and Damien are joined by their friend, Sean Tevik from Noble Tree & Thomas George winery to talk about Sonoma County, making wine approachable, and the wine business in general.  Sean has had the privilege of working with one of Sonoma's greatest vineyard managers and he brought a wealth of knowledge with him to the show along with a few great wines.  He has also worked on most every side of the business from sales to production and is a lot of fun to chat with.  The trio enjoy three wines from Taub Family Selections portfolio, including one of Sean's, and discuss everything from Bordeaux Blanc & Frappato to what it was like to launch a new winery during the recession.  This episode has a ton of information about each region along with some interesting facts about smoke taint that will shock you.   We hope you enjoy, thank you for listening.
