I'm Levy Dalton and this is all drink to that where we get behind the scenes of the wine business. Oh, Tommy Vannek of Verity Wines on the show today. Hello sir, how are you?

I'm good, thanks. Nice to see you.

Good to see you too. Thanks for having me here.

So you have a long career in New York wine sales,

but how did we get there?

I mean, how did you end up in the wine business?

Was it something you always knew you wanted to do?

Yeah, I was born and I said,

wait a second, I want to be a wine salesman.

No, it was actually completely random.

Had no idea.

I wanted to do this.

It was never in, never even my thought.

Actually when my parents would tell me,

I'm not much of a talker really.

You might refute that.

I didn't speak for two years.

When you were a little kid.

Not recently.

Not like...

When you were 35, between 35 and 37, you didn't say anything.

No, as a little kid, you didn't talk much.
