My guest this week is good friend Kent Burnett talking about his incredible woodwork and some of the very special works of art he has put together. Follow Kent on Facebook!
Ken says “Life has proven to be an interesting mix of eclectic emotions and experiences. First, was my visual expressions via photography. Three words were re-occurring themes through-out that career: passion, grace and fire.”

Best paired in the company of family and friends, Métier offers a balance of structure and approachability that can accompany a wide variety of foods. ABV14.1%
