Holy shit, if he's going to go for that shtick, the guy could really stand to be a bit more smooth.

"What should we drink for the holidays?"

"Wines I sell you, because, um, they are highly regarded, and um, even though I sell them at the same price as elsewhere, it's, uh, pretty easy to click to buy them from me."

"Great!"

It's the WSJ after all, not the Economist.

I kind of like the lady, "just pour the damn wine already".

Oddly, he doesn't seem to want to sell the wines he's showing. They don't get to them until the interview is 3/4 over and he never even names the Olga. Anyone who couldn't identify the labels from the one close-up would be shit out of luck. Mostly, he's shilling for himself and his wine site.

That's the problem when you are curating.

I saw Ian Cauble left a Facebook comment on one of Mike Madrigale's big bottle pics, and he has a check mark after his name because "Facebook confirmed this is the authentic profile for this public figure."

I wonder what that cost them.
