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.

HAPPY NEW TO YOU ALL. WELCOME TO THE FIRST EPISODE OF 2022!
This episode I am chatting with the very lovely Jess Lamb. She is a wine writer who has just completed her WSET diploma, so we are talking about two things, her writing and one of the last wine exams on sparkling wine. If you are wanting to hear about getting into the wine industry through writing, or listen to Jess giving some tips for how to put pen to paper and her perspective on the power of words, this episode will appeal to you. 24 minutes in we get onto the Sparkling wine exams, and we discuss the different styles you can find, and how to differenciate between them all. There is also a big focus on Moscato d’asti and Braccheto d’Acqui at the end. Grab a bottle of fizz and enjoy!
