  • I’m just a wine enthusiast trying to learn more about wine, and was nervous that this was for WSET, but from the beginning Joanne says it’s for everyone. The episodes are short, very informative, not intimidating, and although I would love to listen to her go on for hours, I am really enjoying her podcasts!
