TOPIC

This week, we're talking all things wine! If you've ever felt confused while ordering from the wine menu, look no further! We're breaking down the elements of wine, the nine styles of wine and what to look for in a bottle, so you can be your own damn sommelier.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • The Elements of Wine: sweetness, acidity, tannins, body, alcohol.
  • The Nine Styles of Wine: sparkling wine, light-bodied white wine, full bodied white wine, aromatic (sweet) white wine, rose wine, light-bodied red wine, medium-bodied red wine, full-bodied red wine, dessert wine
  • What to Look for On The Shelf: picking the right bottle of wine for your occasion/your meal, what to look for on the label, how to check the vintage, and the reason why where the wine was made is important to consider.
