Summary

*This is part 2 of Freddy Bulmer's episode. Though you are free to listen in whichever order you so desire we really do recommend listening to part 1 first or things might be slightly confusing*

A wise person once said “If you love what you do, you'll never work a day in your life.” So imagine our surprise when this week's guest approached the Correct Realm claiming that his ACTUAL job title is "wine buyer"! This is going to be one for those of you with a penchant for pinot grigio, or a love for lambrusco, because joining us is all-round wine expert Freddy Bulmer.

Freddy is a wine buyer for The Wine Society, specialising in wines from Australia, Austria, New Zealand, and Eastern Europe. In fact, he knows SO MUCH about wine that he's also been a judge at The International Wine and Spirit Competition. But don't just think he's here to chat about grapes all day long; he also knows a thing or two about all things alcohol, and we can't wait for him to share some of his expertise with us.
