This week’s show begins at the Los Angeles International Wine Competition where Host David Wilson is serving on the judging panel.  We’ll visit with the Chairman of the competition, renowned sommelier Michael Jordan, who will share a ton of insight about wine competitions and how medals are awarded.  Then it’s off to Vina Robles Winery in Paso Robles, California to visit with Simone Michel, Director of Customer Relations and Marketing, along with Tim Reed, the Winery’s General Manager.  Vina Robles is about to open a 3300-seat amphitheater that will feature some of the hottest musical acts in the world.  It’s a trend that is very hot in the wine business and we couldn’t be happier! We wrap things up with Matt Dubow, our Gadget Guru from Epic Style with some thoughts of bode bags and flasks!
