Hey there! If you love wine, are curious about the world’s wine regions, or just want to geek out a little on grapes, terroir, and winemaking, you’re in the right place. This is a fun, educational wine podcast made for serious enthusiasts, wine students, and anyone who wants to fall in love with wine all over again.
I chat with winemakers, sommeliers, and Masters of Wine who share their stories, tips, and insider knowledge - from their favourite regions and grapes to food pairings and the techniques that make each bottle special. Sometimes we open a bottle as we talk, sometimes I take you along on a 4-day itinerary I’ve mapped out from my travels, and sometimes we do quick-fire flashcard-style deep dives to test your wine knowledge - all in a way that’s engaging, uplifting, and never boring.
Whether you’re working towards your WSET or MW exams, or just want to explore the world of wine with a glass in hand, this podcast is a place to laugh, learn, and celebrate the joy of wine. Come join our inclusive wine-loving community - there’s a story, a tip, or a tasting for everyone.

Today I am talking about Old vines. We will touch on what actually are old vines, where in the world regions are actually classifying specific vines and how old they actually have to be. What is the significance of old vines culturally and genetically? How they can help us in the future, the stories that they hold and how the flavour of the wines that come from old vines are different. And my deeper discovery into this was at Feudi di San Gregorio, an incredible winery in Irpinia within Campania in Italy. So I’ll give you more details on visiting them too.
