Show Notes
Seb Pradal is a wine Renaissance man—a vin-aissance man, you could say. An acclaimed French sommelier and owner of the Parisian restaurant La Petite Régalade, Pradal also co-owns a wine-importing company that operates in Mexico and Colombia while simultaneously working as a viticultural consultant on estates in Burgundy, Bordeaux, and the Rhône Valley.
As if that weren't enough to keep his iCal full, he's also the head wine consultant on the Apple TV series Drops of God. Pradal works closely with the show's writers and actors to ensure that every wine-related scene is accurate and authentic.
In this episode, Pradal tells us about how he brought his deep wine industry knowledge to the series, his thoughts on the broader challenges facing the industry, and how working on the show has changed his life.
