She’s brutally honest about the challenges she faced in the process and divulges all with a great deal of humour. This episode is co-presented by our fabulous friend, wine judge and PCDA ceremony host Kate Goodman. Kate set up Reserve Wines in 2003, which has expanded to include 5 sites across Manchester and Cheshire - she also knows a few things about setting up a business from scratch!

What is Open Up & Pour?

Open Up & Pour is a podcast featuring interesting people who are enthusiastic about wines and spirits and who know a good thing when they taste it. In each episode the founder of the People’s Choice Drinks Awards, Janet Harrison, chats to one or two guests, from industry insiders to regular punters, to find out what it is they love about their favourite tipple.

The theme song, King of Wine, kindly supplied by The Original Rabbit Foot Spasm Band. Open Up & Pour is a Dap Dip production.
