71. The Hong Kong-Hollister Hustle with Christian Pillsbury of Eden Rift
Christian Pillsbury is the proprietor of Eden Rift Vineyards, a Chardonnay and Pinot Noir house in California's Cienega Valley. After studying at INSEAD, Europe's top-ranked business school, he served as Global Wine Director for Duty-Free and Director of APAC for Coravin.
In today's episode, Christian tells Chris about who actually buys wine at the airport, what perks come with being Bordeaux's biggest buyer, how both Big Napa Cab and Natty Wine jumped the shark, when Hong Kong became the global capital of wine, where an MBA can take you, and why Burgundian varieties thrive in the central coast of California.
