For nearly 20 of those years, Molesworth served in various curatorial roles at museums and arts institutions including the Baltimore Museum of...2023-12-201h 05Wine Spectator's Straight Talk18: Wine Spectator's Top 10 Wines of 2023 and Year in ReviewIt's our season 1 finale and our year-end roundup of the most exciting wines of the year!

The RegenNarration Podcast115 Extra - Mountainside to Oceanside … & Back: Tanya Massy on heartbreak & homePart 2 of this episode with Tanya Massy was recorded in two locations. The first half was recorded back at the farm in Western Australia, on that hay bale. We delved further into Tanya’s deep personal journey of leaving Severn Park and starting up a new farming enterprise on the other side of the country. That was recorded back in January, as that enterprise was just going to market. Then came heartbreak.
