Listen to Finally Hammered - Interview with Ed Sbragia - Wine Auction 8/20 - 8/27

This week’s podcast we switched it up and invited a guest to our podcast to discuss wine value, the secondary market, winemaking, and more! 

Ed Sbragia was an iconic California winemaker. He spent 32 years as the Winemaster at Beringer garnering a reputation as a world-class winemaker, even winning Wine Spectator’s Wine of the Year award twice, to this day, he is the only winemaker to win for a white and red wine. In 2006 he moved on to create Sbragia Family Vineyards to fulfill not only his dreams, but his promise to his father. 

This week, we are lucky enough to have wines from Ed's personal collection in auction on WineBid. Click here to browse these wines here.
