  • Stick to wine!

    Just listened to the 12/23/2020 Wines of the Year podcast. As usual, the awards went to outstanding wines.

    I just wish you hadn’t closed with unnecessary political commentary.

    While many people are glad to see the change, not everyone is gleeful about the prospects for the next four years.

  • Glad I found another wine podcast

    I'm always looking for interesting wine podcasts that have regular update schedules. I enjoy the hosts' banter and enthusiasm. The guests are more Napa focused and hope they can invite more winemakers or professionals from Sonoma and the North Coast. I also like that they take show notes seriously and provide good descriptions and links discussed during the show.

    I'm a longtime listener to this radio show and I'm really glad that it's a podcast too now. If you like great wine or are just curious, this pod is for you. Just listening to the people on this show is an education. People spend a lifetime accumulating this knowledge and making wine and they come on this show and just tell all about it. I love listening to winemakers explain what they do, how and why they make the choices they do.
