Episode Summary
You’ve just come back from a week of learning, wine tasting, and exploring the vineyards of France—you’re full of enthusiasm and new knowledge. But how do you talk about wine with friends and family without coming across as condescending? In this episode, Joanne tackles a thoughtful listener question and shares real advice on how to talk about wine in a way that’s approachable, fun, and respectful—without dulling your passion or making anyone feel uncomfortable.
In This Episode:
-
How to avoid "winesplaining" and connect instead
-
What to do when someone is wrong without embarrassing them
-
The difference between being helpful and being the wine fact police
-
Connecting wine to other interests: history, gardening, art, food
-
Remembering that wine is about enjoyment—ice cubes and all
-
A few stories from the vineyard and lessons from real life
-
Why a little kindness goes further than a textbook correction
Key Takeaway:
Share what you love about wine in a way that invites curiosity, not correction. Be the person who brings others in, not the one who pushes them away.
