I had the great pleasure recently of talking with Mike Stone on The TallMikeWine Podcast, heard in 47 states plus the District of Columbia as well as 57 countries on six continents.

Mike and I discuss how a love of mountaineering in general and Mount Rainier in particular drew me to the Pacific Northwest from the east coast. We talk about how my habit of note-taking accidentally led to a career in wine writing. We discuss Walla Walla Valley, with a swirl and shout out to Pášxa. We also discuss how I approach wine reviewing, what I think is coming next for the Pacific Northwest, and more.
