Featuring Benchmark Wine Group CEO David Parker
This was such a fascinating concept, we wanted to give it a second chance to air! Over the past year, so much of our conversation has been about coping with COVID-19 and how to continue to enjoy our wine lifestyles while many of our favorite activities remain on hold. While creative new activities like Virtual Tastings serve as somewhat satisfying substitutes for the real thing, many of us are eager to find other creative ways to stay engaged. If you’re looking for something fresh and new to do, we’ve got a heck of an idea to share with on this week’s show.
Did you know that investing in fine wine can help you keep your cellar full to the brim with the good stuff AND can generate a tidy profit, too? David Parker of Benchmark Wine Group is one of the world’s leading experts on fine wine investing.
