In this episode of the No Sediment Wine Podcast, I sat down with fellow wine educator and YouTuber, Konstantin Baum, Master of Wine (‪@KonstantinBaumMasterofWine‬ ). We discussed his journey to achieving the Master of Wine title, starting his YouTube channel, and the role of social media in wine education.
