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.

This episode we have Christian Manthei, originally from Arizona and now happily situated in London working for the incredible Wine Treasury who specialise in California wines. The theme is all about Napa Valley. Learn about the different climates within the region, the soil complexity and parts of it’s history, including lots of the big names such as Robert Mondavi and their influences. Learn about the significance of the 1997 vintage along with The Judgement of Paris. We talk about Fume Blanc in detail and spend a bit of time comparing Napa Valley with Bordeaux. Jon gets super opinionated about Robert Parkers effect on Napa Valley and how much he hates points in general (no surprise here!). And as this is an American episode, there is a fair chunk of talk on American accents, and Chris takes us through the US with his versions of those accents! We are drinking Duckhorn Sauvignon Blanc 2017,Le Geante Scholium Project 2017 and Paraduxx Proprietary Blend 2015. Do you have a favourite Napa Valley wine? Do you think this region is now overpriced? Let us know your comments on Instagram or Twitter @unfilteredpcast
