About this episode

The episode features conversations with friends at the Direct to Consumer Symposium, discussing recent happenings in the wine industry and hospitality.

We wrap up our time at the Direct to Consumer Symposium with a relaxed final recording, catching up with friends and talking about what’s been happening lately in Monterey and back home. We sit down with Jason Haas to catch up on everything happening at Tablas Creek Vineyard , then check in with Grant Wood about what’s new in his world at Patz & Hall . Kelly Cornett joins us alongside Jessah Diaz to talk about The Ultimate Hospitality Challenge game show, which Jessah won. It turns into a fun look at what actually makes someone great at hospitality and how you leave a lasting impression. Big thanks to the Direct to Consumer Symposium and Free the Grapes for having us as the official podcast. We had a blast and already look forward to doing it again next year. Cheers. [Ep 402]
