Wine For Normal People Radio : Episode 28 --5 Ways to Discover New Wines

I'm such a wine 'ho. I love trying new things and experimenting in the wine store but it can be a little daunting sometimes.

Well, if you're interested in discovering some new wines based on your taste preferences, and you're not afraid to break the habit of "going with what you know", then this week we have five easy ways for you to discover some new favorites.

Show Notes:

  • Some shout-outs from our friends who left reviews on iTunes and comments on the Facebook page (thanks for making us smile and laugh!)
  • Main Topic - How to experiment with new wines:
    1. Follow the grape (the "you might also like" method)
    2. Regional similarities and differences
    3. Discovering similar wines from different blends
    4. Using food & wine pairing suggestions from apps and web sites
    5. Your local wine shop (but beware of bad advice!!)
  • Listener Question - Sayle Milne calls in with a question about "corkage" fees
  • Grape of the Week - Muscat (and Moscato is one of the most popular wines this year!)
