The barrier to the world’s best wine isn’t price. It’s access.

“That is the tagline for Wine Access, and every time I listen to an episode, it is over-the-top indulgent, dripping with ostentatious excess. I want to learn about wine. That’s literally why I keep struggling through the episodes. But I can’t help but want to scream every time I hear a “I went here, did this, spent this, ate here, traveled there” along with the “You know x , right?” Weeding through the narrative is someone who works hard to be at the best places, with the most expensive wines, in the most outrageous places. It runs counterpoint to the very tag line of Wine Access. Please focus on the wine, and the stories, and the tastings. Forgo the constant wave of competition. I am a HUGE Wine Access Wine Club fan and have purchased dozens of cases over the past several years. I don’t have the bandwidth to care where you ate, or about your three thousand euro bottle of wine. I want to grow as a wine drinker and collector. Tell me less about how lucky you are and more about the wine in the glass. And research. There were so many elements of the Nat Wine Podcast, the most recent one I listened to, that were flat out wrong. Technically. Philosophically. Tighten the narrative with a bend toward education and enrichment. History, culture, weather, soil, anything. Additionally, I take notes during the podcast and I would like a touch more in terms of pronunciation and resource links. I’m scribbling down approximate names of wines that I spent time researching and trying to locate what you are referencing. Please add more show notes so I can find what you are talking about, or where I can learn about it or just enunciate so that I can live with parallel hopes of finding these treasures. (In this episode, I researched Black Sheep Lisboa, Newport Nat Pool, and Peto Rose Nat 3B for example . . .) Many thanks.”

“Loved your episode with Dusty Baker. Seems like such a cool and down to earth guy. Would like to share some wine with him. Looks like a visit to Sacramento is in the near future. As a hard core Dodger fan, I loved him as a player. As a manager? Hmmm... he’s the enemy. Regardless, loved the podcast.”
