Happy Hour with Joby and Curtis
A weekly, internet radio show I co-host that explores and celebrates beer, wine and spirits. Joby Yobe, owner of Barrelhouse 101, is my co-host and he brings a vast knowledge of wine and spirits from years of owning a liquor store to the show. Together we know the right questions to ask for newbies and geeks to keep everyone entertained and educated.
