All Episodes

April 17, 2025 • 55 mins

How does a wine lover who started at the bottom shelf end up with a fine-tuned taste for fine wine? Master of Wine (and former Unfiltered Co-Host) Vanessa Conlin joins us for a candid conversation about how our palates evolve. We share our own cringe-worthy wine moments, debate the value of “flashy” vs. “ethereal” wines, and get real about why some expensive wines might fall flat for newer drinkers. You’ll also get pro tips on how to avoid getting stuck in a rut, plus an exclusive invitation to drink Napa wine with a bona fide celebrity! 🍷 Wine Featured On This Episode: NV Maurice Grumier Jônt Special Edition Extra-Brut Champagne Links & Mentions From Ashes to Hope benefitting Save the Children The Wine Independent Join the Unfiltered Podcast Wine Club 4 bottles per shipment hand selected by Amanda Delivered every 2 months (1 wine/episode) / 6x per year $120 + tax Shipping Included Cancel anytime 10% off all Wine Access purchases Follow us on social!
