Time sure flies when you’re having fun! Can you believe DBP has been pouring out episodes for 8 years?! We’re as amazed as you are and excited to celebrate our 8th Anniversary with a blind tasting as we share plans for the 9th season of our podcast.

While we have been sipping, wine sales have been dipping! The wine world is suffering from a decline in those who consume our favorite beverage, which has led to wineries closing their doors, grapes being left behind on the vine and an industry grappling with what to do next. Is this just a temporary shift or is the start of a downward spiral? We delve into the various factors affecting this trend, the evolving market, and if this a true Decline of Wine. We urge you to pop a bottle and drink along with us, if only to support the future of the wine world. Listen on Apple Podcasts, GooglePlay, iHeartRadio and other podcast-listening platforms.
