Think you know wine? Think again. This episode kicks off a special two-part series where we tackle the "Dirty Dozen" of wine myths. In Part one, we take on six of the most persistent misconceptions: do wine ratings really know your palate, are expensive bottles always better, does every wine improve with age, cork versus screw cap, the myth of smelling the cork, and why storage matters more than you think. Expect straight talk, practical tips, and a few laughs. Wine should be enjoyed, not overcomplicated. Catch the conclusion in Episode 3: Sip smarter today: <a class= "decorated-link" href="https://readbetweenthewines.com" target= "_new" rel="noopener" data-start="840" data-end= "871">https://readbetweenthewines.com</a> Follow us on Instagram: <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/betweenthewinesmedia">https://www.instagram.com/betweenthewinesmedia</a> Connect with us on LinkedIn: <a href= "https://www.linkedin.com/company/read-between-the-wines">https://www.linkedin.com/company/read-between-the-wines</a>

E2 - Wine Mythbusters - Part I

Read Between the Wines Podcast is not really a podcast, it's a repository of stories from the wine world. It is focused on the narratives behind the winemakers rather than wine scoring. 

Founded and hosted by Vino-enthusiast Pierre Ferland, it offers a different and refreshing concept in wine exploration. Each episode offers a unique perspective on vineyard's tales, much like each vintage brings its own profile and personality to a blend. Some conversations will delve into winemaking techniques, while others will explore initiatives to preserve biodiversity and find solutions to combat climate change. 

From a consumer perspective, we are intrigued by how wine scoring has dominated the industry, leaving many enthusiasts perplexed by its intricacies yet still relying on a solitary number for their selections. We understand and respect the fact that a generous score can help move a few bottles and we won't hold it against any wineries, but from a vintner and a winemaker perspective, we pose a pivotal question: what legacy do you wish to imprint upon your clientele? A numerical rating, or the compelling tale of your craft? Think about it. What score would you give to the "Mona Lisa" or "The Starry Night" from Van Gogh? About "Composition 8" from Kandinsky or "The Creation of Adam" by Michelangelo. It's very subjective indeed and so is Pinot Noir from Burgundy, Cabernet Sauvignon from Australia and Riesling from Germany.
