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.

What a cracking episode, not just because we got to spend it drinking Champagne, but because we got to chat with our guest Charles, who thought it appropriate to bring an egg along to the tasting. You can imagine this is certainly not your standard episode. Alongside Janina being named Janina the Yoghurt, some dyslexia chat and the fact that Charles came with a damp crotch, we manage to talk about vintages of champagne, the grapes used and the new potential varieties the CIVC is planning on crossing. We discuss what disgorgement is and how to do it the traditional way. Learn what food pairs well with champagne, how rose champagne is actually made, grower champagnes, classification of the villages and some labelling terms.
This episode we tasted Rene Jolly RJ Cuvee Speciale (£42, Soho Wine Supply ), Billecart-Salmon Rose NV (£60, Laithewaites ), 2012 Philipponnat Blanc de Noirs Brut ( £49.50 Justerinis ) and Justerini & Brooks, 250th Anniversary Cuvée, Champagne, Extra Dry, NV ( £22, Justerinis )
