Wine For Normal People

New to wine? Start here.

I created Wine for Normal People as a podcast and wine education resource with the goal of providing well-researched and accurate content that distills hard-to-understand concepts into clearly communicated podcasts, classes, videos, and live events for anyone who is eager to learn about wine. Below are some of the ways you can learn wine with Wine for Normal People.
