Our guests are some of the very best and most passionate brewers, distillers, winemakers, coffee producers, retailers, and founders that launched craft companies when success was unlikely, but their passion and principles caused them to forge ahead anyway. CRAFTED explores how things get made, and does so with the remarkable people that insist on making things well. Hosted on Acast.

But what if that’s a sign that we don’t actually know how to evaluate -- and appreciate -- the thing in the glass we’re holding? In this episode, Nicolas Palazzi, founder of PM Spirits, joins Eli to discuss how artisanal producers think about the difference between perfection and excellence. We Want to Hear from You!
