For the first time, we have a Wine For Normal People Patron\xa0on the show to share her passion and expertise!
\xa0
This week is a follow-up to last week\u2019s weedier podcast on Greece. This time, long time listener and friend, Lindsey Miller, joins as our first Patron guest, to talk about her passion for and knowledge of Greek wine. She helps bring this topic to life, giving us background on how she fell in love with Greece, got to know its wines, and developed some expertise on the subject. \xa0 Lindsey shares tips and tricks on how to get the best Greek wine, talks about the challenges for the country\u2019s wines in English-speaking markets, and makes helpful suggestions on where to start \u2013 from a grape AND region perspective \u2013 with Greece. \xa0 I had so much fun with Lindsey and she did a great job \u201chumanizing\u201d the topic and getting me motivated to explore even more of Greece! Let\u2019s raise a glass (of Greek wine) to her for being the first brave soul to come on the show and share her passion and smarts with us!Lindsey Miller in Pylos. Credit: Lindsey Miller
