The New Paris Podcast

How many times a week do you have a glass of wine? How often do you talk about wine? If you're Parisian, probably quite frequently. For me, it wasn't something I indulged with any regularity until I was researching and writing my book and finally discovered what I enjoyed drinking and knew what sorts of questions to ask. For wine writer, James Beard award winner and author Jon Bonné, it's an abiding preoccupation. On this episode, we speak to him about his new book "The New Wine Rules", the wine scene in Paris and what it's like being in the wine world today.
