Easy listen from authentic and open wine industry figures. Often with blue chip experience and household names on their CV.
Brilliant!
I enjoyed the By The Glass episodes a lot more than season two. They were a lot more approachable, educational and entertaining. I learned so much from the wine feature episodes, trying a new wine along with the podcaster and guest. I’d love to see something like that come back for those of us newer to wine and wanting to learn.
Stumbled across this podcast only recently and it’s become a bit of a ritual! I’ve even been buying the wine variety featured each week to help enhance my learning. Thanks Halliday
So informative! I look forward to it every Friday
An enthusiastic host and interesting guests. I’ve learnt more about wine from this podcast in the last few weeks than I have in the last few years!
