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.

GRAPE Madness: How Cabernet Took Down... Chenin Blanc?

As the Men’s and Women’s NCAA tournaments kicked off, I decided to create a little bracket challenge of my own… GRAPE Madness! Pitting 16 red and 16 white grapes against each other, IG followers voted every day. This podcast will talk about some of what I learned along the way.
Why did I do it?
- I like the structure
- It gives at least a little organization to chaos
- I love the arguments it creates
- Makes you pick sometimes between your favorites early in the process
Over the episode, I will talk about how I picked the grapes, the trends I noticed, why I thought it was a good idea, and ultimately reveal the winner! Tune in to learn more about the whole process and a slightly long-winded explanation of the importance of the Riesling grape.
Wine I enjoyed - Domaine Jean Marc Bernhard Riesling 2016
Glass used - Riedel Vinum Riesling/Zinfandel
Cheers!
