147 - Wine Clubs Part 1: GaryVee, Empathy and Eternal with an Eternal Wine Syrah for Syrah Day

In today’s episode, Shelley and Phil are kicking off a new series about the wine clubs they are involved with. Wine Clubs are a great way to try out new wine and many have really good discounts.

So much information on this episode! #HappyFriday! #ItsWineTime! #Cheersing
