buying wine

In this episode of the Vint Podcast,  Brady and Billy talk wine with the Director of Wine and Beverage at Frasca Hospitality Group, Carlin Karr. After a fantastic conversation with Frasca's Bobby Stuckey, Carlin joins to talk about building a wine list across multiple properties, cellaring wine for the future, the challenges of buying product, and her thoughts on today's path to leadership in high-end hospitality. Carlin is one of the most focused, attentive, and knowledgeable professionals that we've spoken to in the wine/hospitality business and we're thrilled to share our conversation with you!

Are you a bargain hunter, a new-experience seeker, a drinker-in as well as taker-out, someone with thirsty friends or friends to impress?

Whoever you are - we can help you buy wine better.

Buying wine isn't easy. So much choice, so little time - but getting the right bottle, and the right experience, makes a big difference. To help inform, guide and hopefully inspire you, we draw not only on our personal experience (confession: we buy too much wine) but also Peter's experience of chairing the Decanter Retailer Awards, a major UK competition whose 2021 results have just been announced.

We ask Pierpaolo Petrassi MW of UK supermarket Waitrose and Paola Tich of small independent merchant Vindinista for their go-to 'bang-for-buck' wines. Plus we discuss discounts, wine in cans, subscription plans, diversity in wine, own labels, sustainability, virtual events and POTENTIAL WINE SHORTAGES.

Somehow, lampshades and frozé also get a mention. To correct the karma, we recommend a great value red from Majestic and a Croatian white from Tanners. Enjoy!
