▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ℹ️ DESCRIPTION ℹ️ ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

What happens when one of Asia’s top sommeliers decides to become a winemaker? That’s the journey Reeze is on, and it’s far more intense than you might imagine. In this episode, we discover how he moved from restaurant floors to building his own consulting company, and now crafting wines in Hiroshima.

We explore the intense preparation behind sommelier competitions, the reality of winemaking, the vibrant rise of Japanese wine regions, and even his surprising experiences in Kazakhstan. If you want to dive into passion, discipline, entrepreneurship and the future of Asian wine, you’ll love this episode as much as I did.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ⭐️ ABOUT ⭐️ ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

My name is Antoine, and I’ve been passionate about wine for several years. I knew nothing at first, so I went out to meet the biggest figures in the industry and turned those encounters into a podcast that’s now listened to by over 100,000 people. I now share with you what I’ve learned, and I hope we embark together on a beautiful wine journey to discover the finest experiences. ALCOHOL ABUSE IS DANGEROUS FOUR YOUR HEALTH.
