The Secret Lives of Sommeliers is the podcast where Sommeliers Sage Toomey and her co-host Lucrezio talk about almost everything and anything. But most importantly the very up and coming Arizona wine community, including wine makers and wineries. The podcast is very funny, but why wouldn’t it be when there is wine involved?
