    Wines To Find, Ep 164: Rare Wines and Wine As An Investment

    Wines: Broadbent 2020 Branco and a 2019  Domaine Nico Grand Père Pinot Noir

    Our guest today is Lars Granat Jensen, CMO of RareWine Invest. RareWine Invest is a Scandinavian company focused on the acquisition and trading of rare wines. They are an associated company of the RareWine Group, a company that houses both RareWine Invest and RareWine Trading, focusing on bringing rare and fine wines to the global market.

    We have been very curious about wine as an investment, as well as how to source rare and vintage wines with assurances that the quality will be good, so we were very excited to have Lars talk with us.
