About This Podcast
From Yechiel Chovav (Wolgel), winemaker, sommelier, and agave enthusiast.
Join me as I cover my favorite libations, and explain both the most common questions people have, as well as the most obscure minutiae.
While the focus is for the kosher consumer, there’s plenty for everyone!
And for my Jewish listeners: Parsha Wine Club, where I connect kosher wine with the weekly Torah portion or the upcoming holiday.
