MJ’s guest this week is Senior Editor at Wine Spectator Magazine, James Molesworth. He’s a lead taster for California Cabernet, France’s Bordeaux and Rhone Valley regions and Port. James is a Negroni aficionado. James gives a first hand account of the California wildfire devastation from his recent trip to Napa Valley. They discuss the benefits of blind tasting, wine scores and why James has never given a 100. James and MJ share their passion for vinyl. James shares some of his favorite Jazz moments and a fantastic album suggestion (that we currently have on repeat!). This episode is chock full of the good stuff!

A huge thank you to James Molesworth! He has a terrific IG feed.
