How it all got started
After living in China for over a decade, I decided it was time to share the stories and adventures of passionate individuals who are shaking things up in Asia. Throughout the clutter, and mostly scary stories of food and wine in China, I wanted the rest of the world to hear what’s really going on in Asia, so in 2016 I started Bottled in China Podcast
