April 25, 2024ABC: Anything But Champagne featuring Matthew Kaner
Champagne might be the king of bubbly, but that doesn’t mean it’s the surefire option for every situation. Sommelier Matthew Kaner—former SommTV host and current wine correspondent for Men’s Journal—joins us to discuss the unique characteristics of the world’s best sparkling wines and how they can play a starring role … starting with Italy. While Emilia-Romagna might be best known for cars and food—and Venice for Gondolas—both serve as home base for Italy’s most famous apertif-friendly wines. Plus, we talk the challenges for wine writers in today’s landscape and how America became to Prosecco’s greatest ally.

April 11, 2024Why Do People Think They Hate Chardonnay? Featuring @cokiesworldofwine
It’s the 5th most planted grape in the world and the most planted white wine grape in California—but sometimes it feels like everyone hates Chardonnay. In this episode we’re diving into this very misunderstood grape variety, how its reputation as an over-oaked sugar cookie is falling by the wayside, and why it’s Amanda’s “desert island grape.” Wine-vlogger and sommelier Cokie of @cokiesworldofwine (over 300k on IG) joins to share some fool-proof tips on spotting bottles you’ll love just by looking at them.

When it comes to wine regions, does one region rule them all? We’re putting the greats up against each other and breaking down the intricacies of selecting wine out in the wild.

January 25, 2024Natural Wine, Orange Wine, and Everything In Between featuring Super Vino Bros
Episode 34
January 25, 2024
“Natural wine” has become the new darling of the wine world, but the lack of an actual certification or definition—like “organic,” “sustainable,” and “biodynamic” wine—has made it a topic of debate. So what exactly IS “natty” wine? And if you’re not drinking it, are you drinking “unnatural” wine? We’ve got TikTok’s favorite natural wine-obsessed New Jersey twins @supervinobros to help us define what natural wine is and how to spot it in the wild. From the surprising cuisine it pairs best with to the regions doing it the best, this is your crash course on natural wine, orange wine, and everything in between
