Paul interviews Bartholomew Broadbent of Broadbent Wines

Bartholomew Broadbent is the CEO of Broadbent Selections and son of the legendary auctioneer, writer, and Master of Wine, Michael Broadbent. Bartholomew's career in wine began after picking grapes in Australia during his "gap year" between high school and college. He first worked in England, then in Canada and the United States, where he's currently based.

One of Bartholomew's claims to fame is reintroducing Madeira wine to the American market in 1988; Madeira hadn't been available here since Prohibition! Through Broadbent Selections, founded in 1996, Bartholomew now represents wines produced all over the world. In our studio, he joins Paul to taste wines from Australia, South Africa and Portugal.
