  • Let the guests complete their thoughts !

    The host has great guests , but seems to get over excited at some points, and can’t stop himself from interrupting their thoughts. The interview with Eli Zabar was like water torture after while.

  • Amazing Guests / Insightful Show

    Pretty epic show with a host who asks great questions. I can understand how some people might not like the hosts style; might not be for everyone but honestly those reviewers sound pretty snobby haha

    Great podcast for those who want something different in wine / restaurants

  • Hey, it works!

    I'm a longtime fan. That said, very curious pivot to create a "new" concept based on what was easily the worst part of The Grape Nation - the questions where Sam constantly interrupts and talks over the guests. This has always been a podcast that relies on the strength of the guests rather than the host. I'm glad it exists though, and will continue to listen.

Aldo Sohm
Q: What is your favorite wine and food pairing?
I wish I could answer that, but I prefer to explore and learn from new cuisines rather than sticking to classics.

The original book, "Wine Simple," received a lot of questions about pairings, indicating a market demand for a more detailed guide.
Aldo Sohm

People still come for Burgundy and Champagne, sticking to classics while some want to explore new options.
Camille Lindsley
Q: What wine would you recommend around $15 to $25?
For white, Camille recommends Vino Verde; for red, she suggests exploring wines from Chocolina as they are juicy, medium-bodied culinary reds.

Q: What's the wine that had the biggest a-ha moment for you?
The first was a Jean Marc Ricard Chablis which showed her that Chardonnay could taste completely different from what she expected, and the second was a 2009 Bondol Rouge from Chateau Prado that had a significant impact on her appreciation for wine.
