Episode 107 – Tom Durbin of Studio 107 & Three Sauvignon Blancs from Around the World

Today is International Sauvignon Blanc day and in this weeks episode, Shelley and Phil sit down with Tom Durbin, the wine buyer for Studio 107, in Coeur D’alene, Idaho. Tom is soft spoken but he packs a punch with his knowledge of wine as we taste Sauvignon Blancs from three different regions of the world, New Zealand, California and France (Sancerre). Hopefully you have a #SauvignonBlanc in your glass as you listen to this one. #HappyFriday! #ItsWineTime! #Cheersing #SauvBlancDay #SauvBlanc
