  • Fun, informative & engaging

    I’ve really enjoyed every episode of Eat Sleep Wine Repeat that I’ve listened to so far. It’s a great mix of being informative while still being really fun and easy to listen to. I especially enjoy hearing about the different journeys guests have taken into the wine world.

    One episode that really stood out for me was the one with Sonal Holland, India’s first Master of Wine. Her story was fascinating and really inspiring, and it was great to hear about her experiences and the work she’s doing wi... more

  • I was transported back to Lisbon

    The Wines of Lisbon podcast with Janina and Libby was so informative and they set the scene of the beautiful landscapes and wines this region can offer.

    The way they described each wine in so much depth, so passionately, had me hooked. Needless to say, I’ve already added three of them to my must-buy list.

    I highly recommend listening to Janina’s podcasts. I can’t wait to listen to the next one))

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep 275 - Spanish Wine Beyond Rioja: Vino de Pago, New Jerez, Bobal & More with Sarah Jane Evans MW
Q: What region do you foresee gaining international recognition next decade?
Islands like Tenerife in the Canary Islands show promise, along with Gran Canaria and other lesser-known areas where producers are innovating while maintaining a strong sense of place, suggesting a broader map of Spain's future wine stars beyond the well-trodden hotspots.
Ep 274 - What Does It Take to Become a Top Sommelier? Inside the UK Sommelier of the Year Competition with Emma Denney, 2026 Winner
Q: What are some of the questions on the theory test for the competition?
Questions covered broad wine knowledge, including personalities, vineyards, appellations, vintages, soil types, and obscure grapes, with practical identification tasks and wine-behavior questions.
Ep 273 – Oregon Wine Beyond Pinot Noir: The Regions, Grapes & Wines You Need to Know with Samantha Cole-Johnson
Q: Which varieties are you seeing thrive in Oregon's hotter southern regions compared to Willamette Valley Pinot Noir?
Grenache and other Rhône/Bordeaux varieties are performing well in hotter microclimates, while Willamette Valley remains Pinot Noir-focused with expanding exploration into Pinot Gris and other varietals.
Ep 273 – Oregon Wine Beyond Pinot Noir: The Regions, Grapes & Wines You Need to Know with Samantha Cole-Johnson
Q: What makes Rocks District stand out in Oregon and how does its soil influence the wines?
Rocks District has a remarkably uniform soil profile with basalt cobbles and a history of farming that contributes to a distinctive salty, savory character, which influences texture and flavor more than the exact grape variety.
Ep 273 – Oregon Wine Beyond Pinot Noir: The Regions, Grapes & Wines You Need to Know with Samantha Cole-Johnson
Q: What is your take on how much the AVA system actually shapes wine style versus marketing and labeling?
State lines mostly matter legally, while AVAs serve mainly as branding and market-building tools; the real flavor differences come from site, soil, and climate, and producers often choose where to source and how to label based on practicality and storytelling.
