Episode 2 is here! Are you ready?I’m so excited to share this episode with Ben Shmikler, a photographer turned sommelier and the wine director of LA’s coolest hidden gem: Bar Restaurant in Silverlake. Ben is single handedly building out one of the most interesting wine lists I’ve seen in a minute. He’s an adventurous wine enthusiast, always looking for new and unique producers from around the world. His enthusiasm is so inspiring and I lovedddd this conversation with him. We went on a fun roller coaster of tangents from pop-ups, to sustainability in food & wine, pouring wine for guests and… cookies? Trust me, it all makes sense once you listen! I hope you enjoy this episode! Please let me know your thoughts on our convo and be sure to like, share, comment, rate, subscribe, etc etc ALL THE THINGS hehe.
