Welcome back to The Best 5 Minute Wine Podcast with Forrest Kelly! In this episode, we continue our delightful exploration of Rome, Italy, home to a unique museum dedicated entirely to pasta. Join us as we step into the culinary wonderland of Rimessa Roscioli, a place where floor-to-ceiling shelves are brimming with an array of wines, foods, and gastronomic delights.

Our guest, Lindsay, one of the co-founders, paints a vivid picture of the storefront, adorned not just with gourmet goodies but also with whimsical superhero paintings. She shares her daily routine, running wine and food tasting dinners, managing the Roscioli Wine Club, and traveling across Italy to discover new wines. Thanks to her innovative use of QR codes, every bottle in their wine club offers a virtual tour of its origins, making the wine-drinking experience both educational and enjoyable.

We delve into the concept of natural wine, a term often debated but generally understood to mean wine made with minimal intervention. Lindsay prefers the term "artisanal wine," highlighting their selection of small producers who focus on quality over quantity. With around 60,000 bottles in their cellars, Rimessa Roscioli is a treasure trove for wine enthusiasts.
