Uncork The Vibe | Barron Beltz | Barrels & Roots

In this episode of Barrels & Roots, I sat down with Barron Beltz, commercial strategy lead at Sonoma Bespoke winery in Napa Valley.  Barron has this rare ability to strip away all the intimidation and complexity that keeps so many people from ever really falling in love with wine, and what he shares in this episode is genuinely game-changing for anyone just starting their journey.  We talk about how to figure out what you actually like before you ever walk into a wine shop, why price means absolutely nothing when it comes to what tastes good to you, and how your personal sense of smell and memory shapes every single sip you take. What's the first wine that ever made you stop and think - “wait, I actually love this?”
