  • All fun, no snobbery!

    Wine 101 is in my top three favorite podcasts on wine. Keith Beaver’s is an educational genius and makes learning about wine fun and approachable and oh by the way, super informative! All my road trips where reception gets spotty includes multiple downloaded episodes of Wine 101. I tell all my friends wine, curious, novices, or industry experts to take a listen.
