  • Always Try

    But after 15 minutes of what seems to be hosts drunk,

    I stop listening. Sam is the biggest monkey on the wrench who laughs at his own jokes. And Danielle always has a microphone so we could listen to her mousy voice which at times asks the right questions but most of the time interjects with an annoying laugh or a worthless word. The show only needs Brian and Bart who never get in the way when the guest is speaking.

  • Hard to listen to

    IMHO a podcast should be easy to listen to. This is a mess. A big group of people talking, laughing, and giggling over each other is awful. Too many great wine podcasts to waste my time on this.

  • Overly political

    Have been listening to this podcast for years, I’ve enjoyed the content. Unfortunately, with different additions to the show, the content has become overly political and downright violent with rhetoric. No plans to follow the show anymore, very sad have enjoyed it. Please turn down the rhetoric and you may reach more audience members.

  • Matt & Brandon Podcast

    The rattling, talking, laughing and thumping noise created by Brandon hitting his hand on the table and the Smurf, mousy voice of Matt and the other gal, in the background made it unbearable to listen. Besides everything being so funny that wasn’t ( Must of been the buzz they all had going.) Couldn’t deal with it after 15 minutes and moved on to another podcast.

The Wine Makers – Blood Of Gods Ep2: The Angry Somm (Hayden Stewart) Wine Industry Anarchist
Q: Did you ever stop and think that you're a bit of a gatekeeper in this space, since you control what ends up on lists?
The guest explains that he aims to balance honesty with outreach, often meeting clients where they are and gradually broadening their horizons, rather than coldly imposing brands.
The Wine Makers – Chef Charlie Palmer & Sommelier Tess Housholder

Q: What makes the wine program at Appellation unique, and how is it balanced with guest expectations?

The Wine Makers – Chef Charlie Palmer & Sommelier Tess Housholder
Q: How did Tess get involved in the wine program and what was her path to Appellation Healdsburg?

The Wine Makers – Sonoe Hirabayashi, Six Cloves Wines
Q: How did you decide to pursue winemaking after working in accounting?
I transitioned from accounting to UC Davis to pursue wine, drawn by the emotional and cultural aspects of fermentation and the opportunity to craft wines with a unique Japanese California perspective.
