- Decent
I used to like the early seasons of this show, and I still like the episodes where he does wine history. A few critical feedback points:

4. Clickbait episode titles that sound pr... more

Keith knows wine, definitely, but I really like is that he loves wine, he is passionate about it. The education he brings with that high energy and enthusiasm is unsurpassed.

I first found this podcast at the end of 2025 and started from the beginning (2020), which I really encourage. Even if you understand the basics of wine, characteristics of grapes, and the general idea of every wine region, you should still listen to each episode. You can tell there’s so much research and knowledge behind every episode and I learn something new in every one of them. Keith is so personable and easy to listen to, and his passion and love for all parts of grape growing and wine mak... more
