If you are someone who likes to listen to podcasts and learn more about the wine universe may I recomend you try out a podcast dedicated to wine. I recently discovered podcasts based off a friends recomendation and in the process I have come to enjoy a few of the one’s dedicated to wine. To start use what ever application you normally use for listening to podcasts. If you don’t have one I suggest Itunes. Once there try doing a search for wine related podcasts and you will come up with a pleathura of options. These options range from making wine more accessible, to the wine business, digging into a specific wine region and many more. What I enjoy about these podcasts dedicated to wine is that you have the opportunity to listen to interviews with the wine makers, Somm’s, and others in the business giving you a first hand perspective on what really goes on. Below are three of my current favorites.
The Great Northwest Wine cast – This podcast is normally 20 – 30 min long and is dedicated to wines of the Northwest United states and British Columbia. The podcast normally picks a winery in this region and interviews the wine maker. This is a great podcast if you are intersted in finding great wines to try from the Northwest region and the background on this region.
Grape Radio – This podcast is normally 45min – 1 hr long and aims to dig deeper into different wine regions and grape varietals. The hosts of the show generally interview someone from a winery within a region they are focusing on or that specializes in a varietal they are speaking about. The interviewers do a great job at digging deep into the whys which makes this a very informative program.
