This week, I bring my partner on the Pod to discuss the world of wines. Personally, I love wine! And to understand more about the viticulture process and how wine gets made is something that I've found fascinating learning from this man. In this episode, we talk about the practical tips you can use to select your wine, and the etiquette that goes into wine appreciation.

Ramesh is a Sworn Wine Expert from the Commerce Court of Paris, and also a broker and marketing expert. He has led trade projects in different companies that specialise in wine and spirits in France, Belgium, Luxembourg, England, Scotland and New Zealand. He has worked with estates for their vinification and viticulture processes in Champagne, New Zealand, Rhône Valley, and is now in Switzerland where he work with the estate called Vinattieri Ticino SA to build and develop their business strategy not only in the Swiss confederation, but also in France, Singapore, Germany and Austria. Ramesh serves as an international wine judge in different wine competitions such as the FIWA (French International Wine Awards), Vinalies Internationales, AWC (Austrian Wine Competition), and CGA (French Agriculture Competition).
