From time to time I like to step into the retail component of the wine business especially when that retailer, is a sommelier. Jerel Hall, certified sommelier, along with his wife Rebecca Sue Button own Thelma Carol Wine Merchants in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I spoke with Jerel, at the Life Between the Vines studio just a few weeks ago to get a glimpse of how they compete in a crowded adult beverage market, especially in a well-known beer town.

You can also hear Jerel on our Vino Lingo segment defining the term “Lagar”.

Several of our Podcasts have focused the history of wine growing regions. For many of our listeners, that history is fascinating. Napa Valley wineries date back to the late 1800’s and in fact the Schramsberg Vineyards property goes back to the 1860’s. Fred Zammataro is COO, CFO and Executive Vice President at the winery and is as passionate about wine as are many winemakers. Find a place in the sun with Fred.
