Episode 342 – Don’t Spoil the Fun: Saving Every Drop with repour’s Tom Lutz

For this weeks episode we are honored to have the creator and founder of one of our favorite wine products, the repour winesaver, Tom Lutz. We were first told of this product way back on episode 210 with MJ Towler and it has been the only product we use when we need to keep a bottle (or two) of wine fresh for any length of time! This is a must-listen #HappyFriday! #ItsWineTime! #Cheersing #RapportWithRepour #EasterEgg
