Wine Connoissaurus Rex
A fun, engaging, super unpretentious podcast to help make wine more approachable. It's just fermented juice! Each episode takes a wine topic and breaks it down to be much more manageable, consumable, and approachable. Let's put the days of the overly pretentious snobbery so often associated with wine behind us. Some episodes will have a featured interview where the guest and I talk about wine, what it means in their personal and/or professional life and show the audience that we are all just humans trying to figure it out. Guests will range from chefs and sommeliers to restaurant owners and content developers. Some will even be completely removed from the culinary world to be more representative of the audience of the show. Additionally, each episode will feature at least one wine and a brief pairing or random wine concept lesson at the end. This podcast is for ANYONE interested in wine and does not require ANY major wine knowledge. Let's have some fun with wine, enjoy it together, and figure out how we can sustain and grow the wine world.

I'd Like a Wordle with the Somm
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Today, as I enjoy another delicious glass of wine – to be named shortly, I want to connect wine to wordle, the puzzle game that has taken the world by storm.
Why?
- Pop culture
- I play it every day
- Without realizing it, I have drawn on it for my approach to tasting wines.
- It is a global phenomenon that a LOT of people have played at least once.
Starting to get a feel for today’s episode?
The episode is somewhat split into the two different ways Wordle can be applied to the wine world: 1. Comparison of communities engaging in it and 2. Tasting wine.
It is a fun comparison and continues my love of pop culture, wine, and analogies. Do you hate wine and wordle? Maybe this is the worst episode for you. Or it could be the best? Listen!
Wine I enjoyed - Chacra Barda Pinot Noir 2020
Glass used - Riedel Vinum New World Pinot Noir
Cheers!
