Dan's too busy with harvest right now. So this is an episode we recorded back in January. So really it was Episode 6, but not really. Dan explains more 'Mericanisms. Best takeaway foods. Boy racers. We taste a great 2020 Syrah from Trinity Hill. And Dan pulls back the curtain and we go deep and geeky on some wine stuff.

We speak with MW Michael Henley about his journey to become an MW, his new online business and wine bar in downtown Hastings.

The Y & D Podcast is the result of a meeting of the microphones for American ex-pat Daniel Brennan, a winemaker and experienced podcaster, and Yvonne Lorkin; a New Zealand wine writer and completely inexperienced podcaster. Dan is the owner of Decibel Wines and Yvonne is the co-founder of WineFriend, a personalised wine subscription service. They both live in Hastings and are proud Hawkesbayliens. They both have past lives in the music and hospitality industries and they share the same side-eye attitude to lots of things, things like wine, social media and the news; plus they love a good conflab. So having a stab at podcasting to thrash a few things out seemed like a snazzy idea.
