Welcome to your favourite new podcast, Wine Flight! Hosted by Sophia Longhi and Ben Franks. Each week, we interview a new guest with a shared love for wine. Sophia and Ben face off with a flight of wines and we ask each guest to pick a winner at the end of the podcast.
In this episode of Wine Flight, we talk to social media wine expert Leandro Cabrini, who founded the digital marketing drinks business Brisc in 2017. Leandro, who is also the fifth generation at his family's winery Cabrini Wines, talks about setting up his own business, importing his family's Malbec to the UK market, and how great wine brings people together.
As usual, at the end of the episode Leandro must pick his favourite wine of the flight and announce the winner. Who will win this week's face off? Listen now.
