  • Excellent pod

    I’ve been trying out various wine pods and this one is easily my favorite. The host, Amanda, is such a natural and exudes enthusiasm and positivity. Although she is an expert, she’s extremely deferential to her guests who are almost uniformly excellent. I’ve learned so much and my appreciation of wine has grown. Highly recommend.

  • Fire Rekindled

    I’ve listened to a lot of wine podcasts over the years but somehow I missed this one for quite a while. I’m not even sure how it came to my attention, but I’m very happy it did. Sometimes you need a “shake-me-up” and this podcast did that for me. I’ve always been passionate about wine ever since I first got into it, but even passions ebb and flow.

  • So fun and educational too!

    I’ve been binge listening to the Wine Access Unfiltered podcast and have learned so much about wine in such a short amount of time. Amanda makes wine approachable and unpretentious but while still imparting reverence for the art of winemaking and significance of the industry. I am awaiting my first shipment from the Wine Access Unfiltered wine club and can’t wait to taste the wines along with Amanda and her guests and I continue to expand on my newfound passion for wine!

  • Know-Nothing, Out of Touch

    The comments made about sustainability and glass bottles were beyond ridiculous. Hosts should touch some grass and read a book. They cannot even pronounce “terroir” correctly.
