John Pandol talks grapes, travel, retail and more
Episode 7 of Tip of the Iceberg Podcast, brought to you by The Packer and PMG, features an interview with industry veteran John Pandol, director of special projects for Delano, Calif.-based Pandol Bros. Pandol discusses how the Mexican grape season turned out and expectations for the California season, and he and Tom Karst, The Packer's editor-in-chief, also talk about adjusting normal work routines — which for Pandol are heavy on travel and store visits — amid the coronavirus. They consider when in-person trade shows might return, and they discuss international trade, online grocery and other topics.
