In this episode I sat down with Andrew Jefford, wine writer and columnist (for Decanter and World of Fine Wine), Co-Chair Decanter World Wine Awards and academic advisor for the Wine Scholar Guild to discuss maintaining objectivity in wine competitions and wine tastings, as well as other exciting topics.
