- Heinz Frishengruber, managing winemaker/technical director at Domäne Wachau (Austria)
- Raffaella Guidi Federzoni, export manager at Fattoria dei Barbi
- June Rodil, MS, partner at Goodnight Hospitality (Houston)
The trio get philosophical, humorous, and practical about enjoying older wines sans food. They also give tips on how to fruitfully experience a treasured bottle with food, whether at home or a restaurant. Have a read. (The article is accompanied by a cool animated illustration, too!)
