This week, we're switching things up on Just About Golf.

Matthias Farley welcomes his good friend Mitch Sayers for a conversation that's a little less about golf and a lot more about wine.

Mitch shares how his passion for wine began with his family’s Italian roots, grew through his experiences traveling abroad, and eventually led him into the world of wine education, collecting, and becoming a sommelier.

Along the way, Matthias gets a firsthand education as Mitch brings several bottles to taste, breaks down different regions and varieties, and explains what makes certain wines so special. From expensive bottles and blind tastings to discovering Matthias has a surprisingly expensive palate, there's plenty of learning and plenty of laughs.

But the conversation goes beyond what's in the glass.

Matthias and Mitch explore the surprising similarities between golf and wine—how both bring people together, create lasting friendships, and turn shared experiences into unforgettable memories.

Whether you're a wine enthusiast, a golfer, or just someone who enjoys a great conversation, this episode is a reminder that the best part of any passion is often the people you share it with.

"Show Notes"

Vineyard in Virginia

Jake's tasting notes from behind the scenes:

• J.B. Becker Riesling: Not overly sweet, with a bright, fruit-forward flavor.

• Cabot Syrah: A sharp introduction that quickly gives way to an incredibly smooth mouthfeel. My personal favorite of the tasting.

• Lisini Brunello: A deep, lingering sensation in the chest with a rich, complex flavor.
