WWS June: Guest Megan Dimmock – Côtes du Rhône/GSM



In June, we were missing regular Catrin Davies as she was traveling in Europe (lucky lucky!). So we invited guest podcaster Megan Dimmock to join us this month – which was a great addition to our podcast family (and not just because she brought some slammin’ wings to nosh on prior to and during the podcast).
