Do you know how to zebra-stripe? We do, and we highly recommend it. We’re also pinching ourselves right now over a New York Times admission that wine and booze may just stave off food-borne illness. (Did they just say that? Yes they did!!!)
But the big treat of Ep. 172 is our special guest, the jet-setting Henna Bakshi. Henna joins us with the update on the cultural and economic shifts in India that are driving wine’s growth there.
Then we head north to hear about floods in central Europe before focusing our attention westward to the U.S., where new proposed legislation is giving the wine industry reason to love the US Postal Service. Oh, and a non-Florida Man does “Florida Man” stuff.
Europe is in a tough spot, India is a bright spot…
- Deluges along the Danube drench wineries.
- India may be the savior wine needs.
- A firefighter fans flames in California.
- Wineries could find a friend in the USPS if some senators get their way.
We want your input! Congress is considering allowing the USPS to transport alcohol on behalf of wineries and retailers. This will make it possible for rural addresses to receive wine shipments. Plus, the increased competition may result in lower shipping rates across the board. Would this change the game for small wineries and retailers? Reach out via Instagram or Facebook to let us know.
The Four Top is looking for like-minded partners to help support our programming. For more information on how to get your message to the ears of wine pros and fans, click this link.
