The Restaurant Guys

Podcast: Kevin Zraly

Mark and Francis announce their guest judging appearance on Ucook! with Chef Bob, which is coming soon to a PBS station near you.  

Their guest is Kevin Zraly, author of the Windows on the World Complete Wine Course and a new book, The Ultimate Wine Companion: The Complete Guide to Understanding Wine by the World's Foremost Wine Authorities.  Kevin is also soon to receive a lifetime achievement award present by the James Beard Foundation.  

The conversation spans everything from how Kevin inspired so many people, including Francis, to go into the wine business, up and coming wine regions of the world, the passion required in wine making and studying about wine in general, and the technological advances in books that will allow you to watch videos of Kevin when you buy a digital copy of the Windows on the World Wine Course book in the coming months.
