videoWhen A Pretentious AI Wine Snob Fails A Blind Taste Test
Can a "Certified AI Sommelier" really blind-taste any wine in the world? In this hilarious sketch, we put the ultimate wine snob to the test. After bragging about his elite palate, he mistakes an affordable Paso Robles wine for a hyper-rare, complex vintage from Montenegro. Greg drops the ultimate truth bomb on wine gatekeepers: using obscure wine as a weapon to make people feel inferior is just a mask for insecurity. Drink what you enjoy, and ignore the snobs. #blindtasting #winesnob #sommelier #comedy #pasorobles #winehacks #bighammerwines #wineeducation #skit #2026

EP 39: Lisa Roper Wicker of Widow Jane Distillery.
This week's guest on Spirits of Whisk(e)y is Lisa Roper Wicker, President, Head Distiller, and Blender at Widow Jane Distillery. Located in the Red Hook neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York, Widow Jane, in addition to making and laying down its own distillates, affectionately named "Baby Janes," sources and blends straight bourbon and rye whiskeys from Indiana, Kentucky, and Tennessee, and then proofs them with limestone mineral water from New York's Hudson River Valley, home of the historic Widow Jane Mine. Listen and learn how Lisa, a former ballet dancer and native of Bloomington, Indiana, went from winemaking in America's heartland to whiskey making in the center of the hipster universe. Then here Chef Louise Leonard, for whom Brooklyn figures bigly in her whiskey journey, mix Widow Jane's American Oak-aged Straight Rye Whiskey with Pickett's Ginger Syrup, another Brooklyn product, this one made by her good friends, the Pickett Brothers. The result? A Brooklyn Mule. And yes, it's got
podcast· 1h 15m· Ep 533Luxury Wine Hospitality Exposed: Do Sommeliers Really Care About Customers?
I am fascinated with the idea of luxury brands like Dior, LVMH and Armani. It is clearly more than just diversification or trying to find new revenue streams. It is and has become part of the brand On a recent trip to Beverly Hills, I was invited to lunch with the group from Chateau Y'quem. I moved the entire schedule around (duh), to be there. And though I was remiss in remembering who fronted the hospitality, I was taken by the hospitality just the same. Now I am taken by the woman of was at the helm that day. Meet Fahara Zamorano. If you think the wine world is just swirling glasses and sniffing out tasting notes, Fajara Zamorano is here to flip your tablecloth. She strides into Wine Talks declaring, "You gotta remove the ego," and then proceeds to break down luxury wine culture not with snobbery, but with the kind of candor that leaves sommeliers and armchair tasters alike scrambling to rethink what it means to appreciate wine. Raised in the vine-studded valleys near Santiago, with

Making bubbles in the name of Mother Nature

Four generations later, as Telmont Champagne enters the Canadian market, the fight for […] The post Making bubbles in the name of Mother Nature appeared first on VITIS .

podcast· 17:26· S1E40040 Not drinking on holiday & what to do instead
Struggle with drinking while on holiday? In this episode of I Quit Wine , I share my experience of protecting sobriety, explain emotional sobriety, and introduce the year-long I Quit Wine Collective for support beyond “just not drinking.” Staying alcohol-free while on holiday can be so challenging. Even after years of sobriety, I’ve had moments where those “innocent little thoughts” about having a drink sneak in, and before you know it, they can become really tempting. I share openly about my own experiences and why I’ve learned to be fiercely protective of my sobriety – not just from other people offering me a drink, but from my own mind trying to convince me that “just one” would be fine. I also share something really exciting – the doors are now open for my brand-new I Quit Wine Collective . This is a year-long support community designed to help you get off the stop-start cycle with drinking and feel fully supported in your sobriety. Inside, you’ll find daily check-ins, group coachi

videoVirtual Tasting January 2026 - The Subtle Beauty of Burgundy
January is traditionally a time for rest and reset, and in that spirit, I wanted to keep our first virtual tasting of the year simple, pure, and straightforward. When I think of "clean" wines - those with minimal intervention, no blending, and little-to-no oak - French Burgundy is the gold standard. I’ve personally selected two high-end bottles that exemplify the elegance and "honesty" of this world-famous region. Sign up for updates on these tastings, get my free pairing guide: https://winelivi
