Two Porches and A Pour Podcast: Episode #3

The Champagne Chronicles: History and Culture

Join me and my Co-Host Wendy McMonigle from WM Design House every Wednesday on our NEW Podcast called “Two Porches and a Pour”.

We live 2000 miles apart from each other and wish we could spend our Wednesdays on each others porch in real life but instead we are doing the next best thing. We are chatting with each other about everything from Life & Love to Design and everything in between.

This week you are going to meet Mark Harris who is a painter/contractor with both a theology and an a psychology degree. However, today he is sharing his expertise as a Champagne Connoisseur – just one of the many things he knows about! We had such a fun conversation with him. I can’t wait for you to meet Mark!
