In this episode, Tyrene is joined by sommelier Brian Cook, founder of Pour Some Wine, for an accessible and joy-filled guide to wine tasting. They dive into the basics—from swirling and sniffing to decoding tannins—while comparing a 2022 Nickel & Nickel Quicksilver Vineyard Cabernet to its 2012 vintage counterpart. Brian brings two decades of wine experience (after a career in public policy), demystifying wine with humor and heart, and making tasting approachable for all.
