Wine Talks with Paul K.
Wine Talks with Paul K.
All you knew about wine is about to bust wide open….we are going to talk about what really happens in the wine business and I’m taking no prisoners... I am your host Paul Kalemkiarian and as the 2nd generation owner of the Original Wine of the Month Club, I sold 17,000,000 bottles of wine and tasted somewhere north of 100,000 wines. And what I learned is that wine is about the story; the story can't be that I bought this wine on the internet for 5 bucks. Join me as we peel back the real stories behind the wine you are tasting. How can Groupon sell 12 bottles for $60 and the wines be good? How do you start a winery anyway and lose money? And is a screwcap really better than a cork? Sometimes I have to pick a wine at the store by the label and the price...and I get screwed. Subscribe now and prepare to be enlightened.

Meet Thane Knutson, winemaker at Raymond Vineyards.

Meet Thane Knutson, winemaker at Raymond Vineyards.

Thane Knutson started making wine in his closet.

As a college student, Thane removed his clothes from his closet and turned it into a winery and became the most popular guy on campus. The bug bit and he landed himself in the Napa Valley and worked his way up to head winemaker at Raymond Vineyards. Listen to the trek.
