We invited Captain Cons onto the show this week. He and I sat down with a small wine producer named Michael Zinke of Zinke Wines out in Santa Barbara to get his perspective on the biz and to also do a virtual tasting of my favorite grape... The Syrah.<br /><br />Zinke has managed to be an outlier in the wine community even though they are a small operation (5 employees). Most wineries in their area are down 50%+ in overall sales since the pandemic began... Zinke is only down 16%, and that outperformance can be chalked up to the fact that they are pumping out a fucking OUTSTANDING product.<br /><br /><br />I highly recommend their wines up and down the price spectrum ($25-$75). You can see their whole portfolio here. <br /><br />AND the good people at Zinke have surprised us with an added bonus...<br /><br /><br />GO TO zinkewines.com AND USE PROMO CODE LARGE AT CHECKOUT AND GET A TOTAL OF 25% OFF YOUR ON-LINE PURCHASE.<br /><br />The next episode (dropping Tuesday) will feature a Quarantine dating service, my favorite deli guy, and Joe "The Gay Barber".<br /><br />If you know of anyone who is making their business work during this quarantine, we'd love to talk to them, so have them reach out to mindyourbusiness@barstoolsports.com<br /><br />Take a report and mind your business.<br /><br />-Large
