The ‘Matt Talks Wine & Stuff with Interesting People’ Podcast is heading back to the Okanagan Valley!
My guest is former Sommelier for The National Club and now the Guest Experience Manager for one of the best wineries in all of Canada, Checkmate Artisanal Winery.
We discuss the devastating environmental damage the 2024 winter had on the entire region.
As someone who has known James from his early days at the Club, I love his story from Toronto to B.C.
No better person to be representing some of the best Chardonnay and Merlot made in Canada.
*Bonus: Most emotional moment in the history of the pod (168 episodes in!) happens midway of this interview.
