The second guest will be Robin Goldstein, author of The Wine Trials 2010. This is a really interesting book about the false market for high-end wine and how it is created and maintained by aspirational marketing.
As always, you can listen by clicking here between 6 and 7 pm EST.

I am presently reading a book called "The Billionaire's Vinegar" by Benjamin Wallace. The book is also about high end wine and specifically about the auctioning of old wines supposedly owned by Thomas Jefferson during his stay in France. Very interesting circle of people. I will have to find the time to listen to your show for the first time!

I'm more of a beer snob but I'm looking forward to hearing the interview with Robin Goldstein. It sounds like a fascinating topic!

Hey Ed, is the podcast up on iTunes yet? It's not appearing in my updated subscription list. Thanks.
