    I’m listening to your latest podcast at work :) good job Tad & Patrick.

    I don’t know much about wines. Its hard to choose a wine when I walk into a wine store. I would like to see a podcast coming up that explains basic types of wines.. and different price ranges… Would like to hear more about white wines too.

    Thanks guys.
