The Punch Down
Summary: The Punch Down is like an ESPN sports talk show, but instead of penalty time or pass interference calls, we’re going to dive deep into the geekiness of wine. Each episode, will have a prominent wine personality as our guest, and will get right into the meaty topics, followed by a quick run down (and Op/Ed style commentary, of course) on noteworthy developments in the wine world. We’re focusing on the controversial stuff here – this is not a show that will be coddling to wanna-bes!
