“Fun and casual podcast that explains a good deal about many different wine topics. Wine For Normal People is my favorite wine podcast. It deep-dives much further than Wine 101, however Keith’s delivery and charm definitely sell this podcast! Also, it’s great to hear much of the same information from two to three different sources so that it’s both re-enforced and also you’ll occasionally get info that you didn’t get from one of the other sources.
My only gripes: The American Red Blend show didn’t even mention Meritage, the borderline scam of the California wine world. The Chile episode just made Carmenere a footnote at the very end of the podcast when it’s a huge grape there and its connection to Bordeaux and phylloxera should have been talked about! Also, many pronunciations are very strange... and I don’t mean obscure words in other languages but some of the very common language has odd pronunciation.
All-in-all, I do really like the show and will hit the next episode right now! Oh and one of the reviews mentioned how he rambles about other stuff? I don’t find this to be the case. He likes to mention one non-wine thing right at the beginning but usually talks about it for 10 seconds to maybe a minute, tops. I like that. Breaks things up a bit. Thanks Keith!”
