  • Brilliant podcast!

    Recently discovered the podcast and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed working through the catalogue. It’s an engaging, accessible way to discover new wines whilst learning about viticulture and wine production, particularly for UK audience.

    The recent mini-series on grower champagne is particularly good - hoping for more of these going forward!
