Carl gets his Sideways fix in with his interview with Bob Wolfe. In the movie, actor Paul Giamatti plays a serious Pinot fanatic. In real life, Bob Wolfe is one of the foremost Pinot Noir experts. In fact, people simply refer to Bob simply as The Pinot Guy!

There is something for everyone in this fun-filled interview, besides Pinot Noir talk. You’ll learn what it’s like to grow up in a tiny rural farming town, working on a nuclear submarine, and even what it’s like to get a 4:30am call with Donald Trump way back in the day.

Bob is totally forthcoming about finding himself at a crossroads in his life. He’s figuring out how to step away from the day-to-day of his successful wine business, while also embarking on a completely new second act as a professional pickleball instructor traveling the world.

You’re going to love this pinot to pickleball story!
