In his latest article, Al reminisces about the start of his career in wine and the epiphanies and antics experienced with his accomplice, Jesse.

"Among my new co-workers there was one individual—the second newest guy, as it happened—who proved to be exceedingly friendly. This young man's name was Jesse Willis, and though he was not quite 20 years old when I met him, he had already amassed fascinating credentials."

Th. May 14: Brought To You by the Letter “C” with Sharla Swanson
