I am still amazed that this weeks guest on the Cork & Taylor Wine Podcast would even spend 1 hour with me since he is all over the place aka Pitbull would be calling him Mister Worldwide. Another great chat with Carlton McCoy who is doing great things. One of the youngest to ever gain Master Somm status at 28 years old, host of CNN's NOMAD where we giggle about skating on ice for the first time (I giggled being Canadian as we are born on ice) and we talk about hitting the Napa wine scene by storm as Lawrence Wine Estates acquires Heitz Cellars, Stony Hill and Burgess Wineries.
