“We’d go home at two in the morning, play guitar and drink DRC Échezeaux and Richebourg and not know it was anything special…”

Tim McDonald, chief everything officer of Wine and Spirits Spoken Here, has taken a very interesting road from Las Vegas waiter, to beverage supplier, to wholesale manager, to media consultant, and now head wine judge for several major wine competitions. He likes to think of himself as “wine curious.” What he is is an amazing storyteller. Drink in his story on this episode of the Vine Guy.
