Monte Belmonte Wines: The Bruce Lee of the bottle: How South Deerfield’s Brahm Callahan became an elite Master Sommelier
I’ve been obsessively watching kung fu movies. I’m not sure why. Perhaps the reason is related to the pandemic. It could be a midlife crisis, or it could be the aftereffects of binge-watching “Cobra Kai.” Regardless, it’s made me think a lot about the mastery of an...
