In today’s show I get to sit down with world renowned wine critic Antonio Galloni of Vinous. Antonio started his career as a wine critic very similarly to Robert Parker whom he also work for early on. He now runs his own company, Vinous. Join me in getting to know Antonio better and also discuss the seminar he led on the Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG that I had attended that day.
