Italian Wine Podcast Episode 430: Stevie Kim and Professor Attilio Scienza call Monty Waldin at home in Montalcino. THIS IS THE ITALIAN LANGUAGE VERSION OF THE PODCAST. STAY TUNED FOR THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE DUBBED VERSION, EPISODE 431, SCHEDULED FOR RELEASE NOVEMBER 4, 2020. Worlds are colliding. We at the Italian Wine Podcast have long dreamed of finally connecting all three of these personalities to form an Italian wine supergroup, so to speak. This is the Italian wine equivalent of Led Zeppelin, Wu Tang Clan, and Gogol Bordello coming together to play a sold-out San Siro Stadium. The call was completely unscripted and it started off with the usual banter as Stevie and Attilio disturbed Monty from what we can only imagine was a morning spent tending the biodynamic garden out back. Eventually, Stevie was called away on a secret side mission, leaving Monty to quiz the Professor regarding the 2020 grape harvest all up and down the Italian peninsula. Enjoy this experimental episode that, in essence, turned into a 2020 harvest report.
