Two Guys Talking Wine

Earlier this year - Episode 345 - Michael was on his way to Cyprus - and André said he wished he could taste these wines. Well - Michael came through and brought a selection to taste through. Needless to say - these wines did not disappoint. The wines tasted are samples that were provided by Kolonaki Fine Wines - https://kolonakifinewines.com/Zambartas 2022 Promara (white)Tsiakkas 2022 Xinestri (white)Tsiakkas 2022 Mavro (red)Zambartas 2002 Maratheftiko (red)Zambartas 2021 Margelina (red)You can support Two Guys Talking Wine on Patreon at www.patreon.com/2guystalkingwine

We are taking a break from our regular show to make an announcement and own up to our shortcomings as voices in the wine industry. This is an unreserved apology to people who we have hurt and offended with our conduct and content in the past. It is not the standard to which we are trying to set ourselves. As people who are trying to be agents of change in an industry that is ripe for abuse we need to do better. That being said - We may say something offensive in the future - We cannot get better unless people tell us we're falling short. We fully recognize that people have tried to tell us we have been failing in the past through social media, in the reviews of this show - and with the occasional phone call. We weren't listening - but we are going to try harder to listen now. André Proulx - andre@andrewinereview.caMichael Pinkus - michael@michaelpinkuswinereview.com
