Episode 3: Hannah, Esulé, and Jobs You've Had | Guest and Theme Matthew brings a bottle of wine over to Hannah Fuller-Boswell's house. This was in late spring 2010. While drinking their warm-up glass of wine, they discussed a little bit about Hannah's extremely diverse work history.

Episode 2: Todd and Mantonegro | Wine and Guest While in LA recently, I brought a bottle of Mantonegro to my friend Todd's house. The wine is named Mantonegro, but that's also the name of the grape from Mallorca, Spain (a wine blogger named Dominique had the best write up about the wine that I could find). Todd writes for the pictures. Theme Each episode of Not About Wine is a wine tasting in which I ask my guest to compare the wine to something unrelated to traditional wine terminology. In this case Todd compared the Mantonegro to his experience growing up Jewish in very Christian Houston, TX. The Episode Unrelated News About when Not About Wine will be available on the iTunes Soon. I want to bank five episodes before I start an official podcast schedule. I am recording the third one as we speak. As always: questions/problems/thoughts welcome: contact me.

Customer Reviews
Creative Is An Understatement
This series is very funny and original. Each episode so far has pretty catchy theme music, a well written introduction and an interesting theme. I am looking forward to additional episodes.
An affection for connection
Mr. Latkiewicz brings a deep affection for connection with his guests, just everyday folks, as he uses a good bottle of wine to flush out the nose, body, color, and finish of their lives. Well worth the listen!
