This week we welcome author Brian Freedman to the podcast to chat about wine, cocktails, and watches. Brian is a Wine, Spirits, Food & Travel Writer for the likes of Forbes.com, Whiskey Advocate, Food & Wine, and others, as well as a restaurant consultant. He is also the author of Crushed: How a Changing Climate Is Altering the Way We Drink. Together, we find many parallels between our experiences in both wine and spirits, and the world of using and collecting watches.
In our discussion, Brian offers some perspective on when you should be thinking about drinking your wines, and what kinds of things you should be paying attention to when ordering at the bar. And yes, there is a drink check along with a wrist check.
