Learn and be entertained
Hard to write a review, other than to say it is a great podcast. Whatever that means to an individual listener is rather subjective. But if you like wine and all that surrounds wine, then this is a great listen. And while it is Sonoma-County-specific, it is first about wine. From vineyard to bottle to customer, and everything in between. The focus is on smaller wineries and/or winemakers for small producers, much like the two winemaker-hosts. The other host is a Sommelier working locally - well, until recently. Coronavirus furloughs hit a wide swath of businesses. I started listening to my first wine podcast about a year ago. I was looking for something different to hear on my (long) commute. I spent several months listening to a wine podcast I read about in the NYTimes. I listened twice a day, each way on my commute. Before I knew it, I had listened to two full-years worth, plus about 10 years worth of a curated top-ten list. I learned a ton on wine and now I wanted to learn more. And maybe something closer to home. Not sure exactly how I found The Winemakers Pod, likely a Google search. I recall downloading a dozen different or so to sample, and this was the winner. Not sure which episode was first, but soon after I downloaded all of 2019, plus their very first episode. I was hooked. On any given episode you get to hear people, who love what they do, talk about all the aspects of wine. I already enjoyed wine, and had the good fortune to be introduced to occasional wines way above my pay scale. The time spent listening to this (and a few others) has really added to my enjoyment of wie. To paraphrase a saying, it is amazing how you don't know how much you don't know until you know something. Each week, I know something more. The three 'wine experts' are down to earth, opinionated - some more than others - entertaining, and just plain fun. After a few listens, they almost seem like your friends. And probably would be if we all lived in Sonoma. If you are a first timer, go through the list of the past year. If you find one with a winery or winemaker that you already know, start there. So pour a glass and give a listen.Read full review »

This has quickly become my favorite wine podcast. I got behind on episodes by a few weeks, due to some traveling, and caught up today. I really enjoy each episode. I’m learning a lot and I keep adding to my list of wines to find and try. Thanks for giving me a bit of Sonoma (and Napa) here on the...Read full review »

Love Brian’s curiosity and sincere Sommness. Love Sam’s pedigree intelligence and knuckleheadness Bart is the terroir show. And John, your a true gentleman and my apologies that I didn’t noticed spellcheck misspelled your for my rant. Kudos and cajones to responding to review.
