The world of wine can come off as sophisticated, complex, and maybe even a little bit intimidating. If you’ve been curious to learn more about wine but not sure where to start, wine podcasts offer a uniquely approachable entry point. Wine podcasts allow you to hear expert opinions and practices while learning about different varieties, pairings, and so much more.
Listen to these four women-hosted wine podcasts to brush up on your wine knowledge. Even the most avid wine connoisseur has something to learn from these ladies:
Pairing
Host: Emma Sherr-Ziarko
