Jane Lopes-Episode 13 | Wine Talk

Jane and I spoke a couple of weeks ago, before the controversy of the most recent master somm class had come to light.
This episode is an interesting moment in time, as she and I talk of this past year, her hard work, and her current life in Australia. 
We plan on speaking again with both her and her partner Jon Ross, who is also a master somm.
I hope you enjoy this fascinating look at the hard work and dedication it takes to get this designation, and how she might have to do it all over again.
