This espidoes’ guest is John Clerides. He is the owner of the incredibly successful Marquis Wine store, the most popular wine shop in BC, and a frequent traveller throughout the wine regions of the world.
I always love talking to John, both because of his strong desire to push the wine industry forward and because of his blunt way of doing it. A common theme for many wine experts is that transition from knowing little about wine to discovering this huge, varied world. John’s story is no different and he has the European receipts to back it up. He share how to take BC wine to the next level, why that requires generational knowledge and why he thinks it needs to happen under an organic or biodynamic banner.
In this conversation I was joined by my friend Anthony Rasotto, a financial planner working with small businesses and you’ll hear from him as well. We recorded this conversation in John’s wine shop, and you can find the video on Youtube at our channel, Vintality.
