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.

Wine Regions and MURDER
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Got your attention! No one gets murdered but there is a sweet analogy of federal murder laws and how they are handled broadly like wine laws. It makes sense if you listen.
This episode helps to break down the importance, definition, and confusion of wine regions. With a focus on AVAs in this episode, I take you through what an AVA is, how it can be defined, how it can be home to other AVAs (because that makes a lot of sense), and the general rules that are required to maintain some sense of structure. I started with AVAs too because they are more fluid (pun) and less rigid than the PDOs of European wine countries. Take a half hour and a glass of wine to learn more about region delineation and Napa Valley.
Wine I was drinking during this episode: Pine Ridge Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2017
Glass I used to drink that wine: Riedel Vinum Bordeaux
Super cool wine tool I used to help access that wine: Coravin Limited Edition III
