What does it take, as a young fella, to drive into a valley with a car boot-load of your possessions, and then just a few short years later scoop the prize for producing the best red wine in the world? This is the story I wanted to dig into with Rod McDonald of Te Awanga Estate, our podcast sponsor. He’s a modest bugger and keeps things very close to his chest, so I thought I’d have a battle on my hands to get him to open up. I was wrong. It was a delight and I hope you enjoy this epic conversation.

A huge thank you to Rod and his team for bringing this first series of “Stuff that Matters Now” to your ears.
