Ep. 12: Rhone Valley Update, Japanese Whisky Launch, and Interview with Tempe Reichardt

In this episode of the Vint podcast, Billy provides an update on the Rhone Valley collection, noting positive trends in trading volume across the region and multi-year highs in Liv-Ex trading volume for Côte-Rôtie and Hermitage wines particularly - all positive for our Rhone Valley collection.  Also, we had a positive Japanese Whisky launch - our largest and most rare collection to date is still available with less than 15% remaining at the time of recording.

Billy welcomes guest Tempe Reichardt for an interview where she details her journey in the wine industry and sheds some light on what makes the industry tick, as she has witnessed some of the most impactful market movements first-hand over the past 30-40 years. Tempe also shares the news of her recent sale of the exclusive distribution rights for Gabriel-Glas (Gabriel-Glas North America). Tempe has been growing the Gabriel-Glas stemware business in North America since the product first became available in the States and is excited for the next chapter!
