The Wine List is a new, fast-paced podcast featuring best in-class wine guests. Each week host Sam Benrubi asks five questions about his guest’s current wine preferences — the same five questions he’s asked everyone from day one on The Grape Nation! We’ll talk to winemakers, journalists, wine critics, vineyard owners, authors, Sommeliers, importers and more, making the most diverse and interesting recommendations for you to try. You’ll also hear about what’s going on in their world. Tune in and find a new favorite.
