Write a Review of Grape Radio Podcast
   
LOLJPB, February 17, 2006
Reviewer: LOLJPB
I'm a big fan of the Grape Radio podcast. As a budding wine connoisseur it's fun to listen to these guys cover a wide variety of wine-related topics. Who thought a 40 minute discussion about corks could be so interesting?! :)
The quality of the Grape Radio podcast is solid and the guys have just completed a new studio to do their podcast from so you can expect the quality to remain high. Kudos to the Grape Radio crew for showing the rest of us how a top-notch podcast is produced. I'll be a listener for a long time.
