Italian Wine Podcast Ep. 1073 Robert Joseph In Georgia | Uncorked
Welcome to episode 1073 in which host Polly Hammond interviews Robert Joseph, this week on Uncorked.
In this episode, we welcome my partner in crime, Robert Joseph, live from the streets of Tbilisi.

We’re talking history, potential, differentiation, and blindspots. If you were a fan of the Real Business of Wine series, this conversation is right up your alley. Let’s get into it.
