Darin sits down with Xander Soren, the founder and Chief Wine Operator of Xander Soren Wines.  They chat about his time at Apple, working on game-changing programs like GarageBand, his deep affinity for Japanese culture, and he shares some of his playlists that pair perfectly with his pinot.  Then we dip into the archives when singer-songwriter Sarah Jaffe swung by to share stories and songs from the latest EP, SMUT.
