PRN’s The Wine Crush

A nationally syndicated radio show, The Wine Crush celebrates its 10th anniversary on January 17. This marks a landmark time for the wine and radio industry. Performance Racing Network’s The Wine Crush will celebrate this landmark event with a special two-hour edition. This will air during the first week of February.

This is the nation’s only nationally syndicated radio show focusing entirely on wine and the business and lifestyle it creates. Launched by the Performance Racing Network in 2007, the goal was to simplify wine and to demystify the beverage and the culture surrounding it.

Your Host: Laura Lawson

The show’s host Laura Lawson, a veteran of the wine business with over three decades of experience in the wholesale channel, has hosted the show for its 10-year duration. Lawson is also a Certified Sommelier and a Certified Wine Educator.

Her unique perspective coupled with a biting wit has made The Wine Crush a resounding success. (Seriously, Laura is hysterical — give her a listen!) Every week, she is joined by guests ranging from winemakers, winery owners, chefs, and critics; truly the luminaries of the wine business.

“Laura is an extremely knowledgeable and engaging show host. Her insight into the wine universe combined with her keen wit make The Wine Crush a truly unique listening experience,” said Doug Rice, president of the Performance Racing Network. “The beauty of the show is that it appeals to wine aficionados as well as novice wine drinkers.”
