With each new season, the show has dived deeper into the emotional complexities that come with working in the industry for characters who have made it their life's work. But, for certain viewers, it felt like the show was missing a crucial component—wine—especially when talking about a restaurant that is aiming for a Michelin star.

On The Bear's fourth season, which premiered on June 25th, wine finally got its time to shine. Though food remains the central focus of the restaurant, wine finally gets its fair share of airtime in multiple episodes this go around. 

In episode two, called "Soubise," Gary "Sweeps" Woods, The Bear's resident sommelier-in-training, meets with trailblazing former Master Sommelier and restaurateur Alpana Singh. Making a cameo as herself, the Chicago-based industry pro gives the burgeoning somm some hands-on tips.

For this week's podcast, we invited both Singh and Corey Hendrix, the actor who plays "Sweeps," on to talk about what it means to portray a wine pro on television, wine stereotypes and what real representation in wine media actually looks like.

Inside the Vatican's Quietly Influential Wine Scene]]>The May announcement of the first-ever American Pope, Leo XIV, still has the whole world buzzing. While Robert Francis Prevost's hometown of Chicago has its own distinct wine and spirits culture (Malört, we're looking at you), his move to Vatican City has landed him in the center of the biggest wine scene no one's ever heard of.

That's right: The Vatican has a wine scene—and a secretly influential one, too. Surrounded by Rome, the tiny city-state is the headquarters of the Roman Catholic Church and homebase of the Pope. It's also the biggest wine importer per capita in the entire world, as reported by news and website editor James Bayley of the Drinks Business—making it roughly double that of France and Italy.

We invited Bayley onto the podcast to discuss his recent deep-dive into how the Vatican became the world's most surprising wine powerhouse, and what the future may hold for Vatican-made wine.

With ten Grammy wins and twenty nominations, it's safe to say that Norah Jones has had a successful career in the music industry. The epitome of a multi-hyphenate artist, Jones has released nine solo albums, made appearances in movies like Wong Kar Wai's My Blueberry Nights and Seth McFarlane's Ted, and now hosts her own podcast, "Norah Jones Is Playing Along." Recently, Jones added another hyphenate to the growing list—she became part-owner of the French winery Maison Wessman, creating a line of wines she calls "This Life."

Now, Jones isn't representing herself as a technical wine expert here—her focus is more based on taste, mood, and gut feeling. In that way, she views the business quite similarly to how she approaches music. There's overlap between the two art forms, and "This Life" seeks to draw a line between them: the rosé and crémant are marketed as "a melody in every glass."

For this episode of the Wine Enthusiast Podcast, we were lucky enough to have Norah Jones stop by and chat with writer-at-large Matt Kettmann, who reviews wines from California and Languedoc-Roussillon—including Jones' This Life 2024 Crémant de Limoux (which received a score of 91 points). The two touch on how this collaboration came to be, how Jones settled on the "This Life" name, and new projects she has on the horizon.

At that time, the spots—running widely in Oregon—seemed at the very least heavy-handed and ponderous. At the worst, they indicated a growing influence of out-of-state lobbying groups bent on shaping Oregon's health policy.

At that time, another "Dry January" period, we talked about how that particular social media trend had its roots in temperance organizations in Europe and the United Kingdom with much more radical agendas than new year/new you. One of them, Movendi International, traces its beginnings back to the 1800s in America and played a key role in instituting Prohibition (the first one).

Alberty's full story, titled "The Neo-Prohibitionists Are Coming," appears in the upcoming Winter Issue of Wine Enthusiast Magazine. Here, we delve into some of the details of his investigation. It's a fascinating lens into the discussion of alcohol and health (and politics) into sharp focus, especially not long after U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek H. Murthy issued an advisory on a potential link between alcohol and cancer.

The non-alcoholic drinks space is evolving. Bars dedicated to booze-free hospitality offer creative menus, and there are scores of spirit-free bottles of booze, beer and wine at specialty shops and digital retailers.

In this episode, Associate Managing Editor Emily Saladino explores non-alcoholic drinks culture with John deBary, a semi-retired bartender who is also an author, creator and CEO of Proteau, and cofounder and board president of Restaurant Workers' Community Foundation. They're joined by Dylan Garret, another semi-retired bartender and senior editor at Wine Enthusiast. 

They discuss how the cocktail lounges of the early aughts and 2010s precipitated the rise of non-alcoholic drinks, and how those of us who do and don't drink alcohol can't raise glasses to a more inclusive scene moving forward.

However, water does contain quite a bit of nuance—everything from tasting notes to mouthfeel. Knowing that means understanding that the water you're drinking can affect the taste of whatever you're enjoying alongside it—and that means your wine, too. But to what extent?

In this episode, decorated Advanced Sommelier Arthur Hon and Water Sommelier Martin Riese (as seen on Zac Efron's Down to Earth, Conan and more) enjoyed a curated pairing of Martin's waters and wines provided by Banville Wine Merchants. The conversation is moderated by Amy Racine, the partner and beverage director of JF Restaurants.

It's successful, not only in producing and sustaining quality agricultural products, like wine grapes, but it's also successful in combating climate change, the effects of drought, and (most commonly overlooked) creating a healthful environment for all living things within the farm—microorganisms, plants, animals, and people.

In that time, the country has built a reputation for quality offerings that can compete globally.

But broad understanding of Australia's winemaking origins, especially the influence of Aboriginal culture, is sparse, and the contributions of the First Nations People of Australia are often overlooked or undervalued.

To understand more about the country's drinks history and its impact on Australia's wine world today, Contributing Editor Christina Pickard speaks to drinks industry veterans Curly Haslam-Coates and Gary Green.

Their conversations demonstrate how programs and producers are advancing modern dialogues.

In an era that offers an increasing variety of styles to chose from, do younger generations still care about traditional wines like Napa Valley's iconic Cabernets and Chardonnays?

And, perhaps more importantly, should they?

In this episode, Contributing Editor Virginie Boone talks to Napa winemakers Blair Guthrie and Bertus van Zyl talk about the wine world's shifting demographics, the impact younger drinkers are are having on traditional production techniques, and what consumers are getting right—and wrong—about Napa Valley wine.

Is wine art? Wine drinkers often romanticize the art and poetry of winemaking, but it's impossible to ignore the science behind wine production. At the end of the day, perhaps wine is just a product, a commodity, based in science and with a clear method for optimal production?

Care to fall down this rabbit hole with us?

Managing Editor Lauren Buzzeo speaks to Winemaker/Vineyard Manager Rachel Rose of Bryn Mawr Vineyards in Salem, Oregon, to discuss the reality of making wine, and if what's in the bottle can truly be considered art.

But in a surprising twist, these vineyards ended up yielding wines more intriguing than anyone expected. Now, thanks to this fortuitous accident, winemakers may have discovered a new superstar grape particularly suited to this California wine region.

Contributing editor Matt Kettmann talks to Andrew Jones of Sunridge Nurseries and Justin Smith of Saxum Vineyards about how this strange situation came to be and, a decade later, how the wines have measured up.

Whether or not you're a staunch believer in the theory that it was beer, not bread, that prompted our early ancestors to transition from hunter-gathers to farmers, the beverage has clearly played a key role in mankind's history.

Additionally, while brewing in the United States is largely a male-dominated field, women have been integral parts of the brewing process throughout history. From goddesses to tavern operators, we see evidence of women and brewing throughout the ages. We can see it in ancient religion, art and texts from around the world.

In this episode, the first in a three-part series on women in drinks history, we take a look at women's role in brewing throughout the ages.

Digital Editor Kristen Richard, a wannabe history buff, and Travis Rupp, the Beer Archeologist and lecturer in classics, art history, anthropology and mechanical engineering at the University of Colorado at Boulder, talk about the magnificence of women's history in brewing.

Wine that is canned and bottled is the same, but packaged in different vessels. Right? Not quite.

In the episode, we explore the state of the canned wine industry and whether it's turning a corner. We also dig deeper into the differences between canned and bottled wine, and how the industry can leverage alternative packaging with single-serving offerings in a way that still lowers its carbon footprint.

Listen as we sit down with Leitner to explore these questions and more.

Every year, Wine Enthusiast releases a new edition of the vintage chart, a tool that's long been critical to collectors. Vintage charts help pinpoint bottles peaking in quality—and those that may be past their prime. The most recent version debuted in the Winter Issue of Wine Enthusiast Magazine. 

But in a time when climate chaos—unprecedented periods of drought, heat waves, floods, fire and more—is rampant, how should one read a vintage chart? And can we still trust them?

In this episode of the Wine Enthusiast Podcast, we've tapped Writer-at-Large Christina Pickard for her thoughts. Pickard reviews wines from Australia, New Zealand, England and New York for our publication and has for years been one of the many voices helping craft the vintage chart.

Wine's impact on health has been under the microscope for the past few years, with numerous headlines citing its cancer-causing potential. Sales are down across the industry and consumption has dropped substantially. 

These stories certainly are fear-inducing, yet many don't paint the full picture. It seems for every study that claims that a glass (yes, a glass) a day will kill you, there's another that has found low- to-moderate consumption of alcohol is fine or can even boast potential benefits. 

So, what the heck gives?

To better understand wine's ride on the wellness roller coaster, we spoke to Wine Enthusiast contributor Kate Dingwall about the whiplash. She's been covering these oftentimes contradictory papers for us over the past year, talking to doctors and researchers about the latest news and reports.

Chris Walker, an investigative journalist based in Denver, Colorado, learned about this story a few years ago and began to unravel the tale. What resulted is Blood Vines, a new nine-episode narrative podcast that dives into the saga. On this episode of the Wine Enthusiast Podcast, Chris joins Wine Enthusiast Writer-at-Large Matt Kettmann to chat about making the show and what the story reveals about how we make and drink wine.

After months of debate over who should win "Best Actor," "Best Actress," and "Best Picture" (and "Best Film Editing," for all you cinephiles out there), the results will finally be announced this Sunday evening at the 98th Academy Awards ceremony, allowing us to finally fill out our Oscars bingo cards.

But for many movie stars, the end of awards season means they can ramp up outside business ventures—often of the boozy variety. Over the past decade, we've seen countless celebrities launch spirit brands to great success, like George Clooney's Casamigos tequila and Ryan Reynolds' Aviation gin. Some of this year's Oscar nominees have gotten in on the trend, too. Re-watching Song Sung Blue to feel something? Mix up an espresso martini using "Best Actress" nominee Kate Hudson's King St. Vodka. Giving One Battle After Another a chance to prove its 4.2/5 Letterboxd rating? A Paloma with "Best Supporting Actor" nominee Benicio del Toro-backed Perro Verde Mezcal is the perfect pairing.

It's no secret that the spirits industry is in a state of turmoil, as people drink less and purchase less alcohol. So why are celebrities still jumping into the space? And what does it take for their brands to actually be successful? I spoke with Ed Mundy, who heads up beverages research at investment bank and financial services firm Jefferies, to find out.

But maybe it's time to take a fresh approach to pairings.

When Napa Valley-based wine consultant Jean Hoefliger is asked how to pair wine and food, he responds by saying, "I don't pair wine and food. I pair wine and mood. For me, it's about the moment and the company. Nobody drinks a bottle of wine looking at their watch. You stop time and focus on the moment and the people you are in conversation with."

Sounds so fantastically obvious and brilliantly genius, right?

Contributing Editor Virginie Boone taps Hoefliger for the best tips to pair wine and mood with a variety of personalities and occasions around the holiday season.

Wine Enthusiast Writer-at-Large Christina Pickard speaks to three well-respected winemakers from Australia and New Zealand on their entry into the industry. Hear from Paul Pujol, whose early experiences include a too-close-for-comfort experience with toxic chemicals; Jenny Dobson, who punched through the glass ceiling to produce her own wine label; and Helen Masters, who improbably scored a gig at a lauded winery, where years later she became the head winemaker.

Tragically, the country's wine culture was decimated under Soviet rule.

In this episode, Writer-at-Large Matt Kettmann speaks with two leaders of the Armenian wine renaissance, father-daughter duo Vahe and Aimee Keushgerian. In 2021, the pair also made the first commercial wine from grapes grown in Iran in more than 40 years.

But Do They Really Matter?]]>With so much tequila being poured—and so much potential profit on the table—the debate around how tequila is made and marketed has never been more pointed.

We caught up with spirits reviewer Kara Newman about the ongoing raid and why additives in tequila are so divisive in the first place. Listen as Newman goes deep on additive use in tequila, how branding a product as "additive-free" has the potential to be a powerful marketing tool and why, for some, it's so concerning.

What may at first seem like an expression of personal preference is, in fact, a result of the complex interactions between financial markets, social and political movements, climate change and too many other factors to name here. Basically, what you drink is a reflection of the moment you live in.

Wine Enthusiast Writer-at-Large and spirits reviewer Kara Newman may not have a crystal ball, but she's been reading the tea leaves and recently shared her predictions for how we'll be drinking in 2025. While some build on this past year's trends (tequila's not going anywhere, nor are zero-proof cocktails), others caught us by surprise. 

In this episode, we dig deeper into three of those predictions.

Like Miles Raymond, the main character in the book and film, Pickett was an unpublished author living in L.A. and a devoted disciple of Pinot (which he spent hours talking about with Richard Sanford). Listen as he shares how the success of Sideways launched an unexpected journey into the wine world and the creation of a beloved cinema classic.

And before you ask: No Merlot was consumed in the making of this episode.

The way we talk about wine is important. Language is a living, evolving thing that changes to suit shifting whims and needs. That means that some wine terms become less, er, useful over time. In other words, they need to get the axe.

There are so many reasons a term could be considered outdated. It might be offensive—for instance, why are some wines described as "masculine" and others "feminine"? But terms may also not be precise enough, or not inclusive enough. Sometimes they just plain evoke weird reactions. 

So, too, thinks writer-at-Large Reggie Solomon, our reviewer for a wide range of wines including those from the Loire Valley, Beaujolais, Southern Coastal Spain, Israel, Asia, and more. I caught up with Solomon to talk through terms he considers outdated in wine writing and why.

In this episode, we talk with Stef Ferrari, author of Stuzzichini: The Art of Italian Snack, to better understand what constitutes the "magic" of aperitivo and how to recreate it at home. We discuss why gathering is fundamental to Italian life, how the ritual of aperitivo can help fulfill the basic need and desire to connect with others and how a little bit of alcohol can be part of a healthy, enriched life. Plus, Ferrari shares some of her most memorable aperitivo bites in Italy that fueled the inspiration behind the recipes in her book.

It's hard to stand out in a field of giants, and when it comes to Tuscan wine, the landscape is populated by Titans. But Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, crafted from the Sangiovese grape planted around the tiny town of Montepulciano, has always managed to catch the eye of connoisseurs.

Like an athlete, a wine pro's body goes through a lot. And while the recommended guidelines for alcohol consumption are murky and ever-changing, we know one thing for sure: nothing about drinking 3,000 wines a year screams moderation.

This realization led wine reviewer Michael Alberty to reassess his chosen profession as he shared in a recent article for Wine Enthusiast. Spoiler: Alberty didn't step away from wine. If anything, he leaned in.

In this episode, we hear from Alberty himself on what it's like to taste wine for a living and what it means for his health. He shares first-hand insight to his daily tasting routine, the unignorable implications it has on his physical health and how he manages it. 

He also shares his experience finding balance on the extreme side of drinking—a gentle yet encouraging reminder that this looks different for everyone and at different periods of time, including the holiday season.

In 1998, The New York Times said, "Young people, the 21- to 29-year-olds, are turning away from wine…For the $13-billion-a-year wine industry, the loss of so many potential consumers couldn't come at a worse time."

In 2016, The New York Post ran a headline, "Millennials are ruining the American wine industry."

Fast-forward to the current generational panic in the wine industry—this time, regarding the 13- to 29-year-olds that make up Generation Z.

The wine industry is currently facing a mountain of struggles, including shifting consumer preferences, oversupply in many regions, rising costs and tariffs along with a growing—and loud—anti-alcohol movement. Meanwhile, older generations, Baby Boomers specifically, are pulling back from their previous levels of wine consumption. 

So, why are the kids—half of whom are underage—getting all the blame yet again?

We invited Wine Enthusiast Contributor Kate Dingwall, who has been covering all the latest Gen Z research, along with Jess Druery, the Gen Z founder of playful wine brand Whiny Baby, onto the podcast to discuss what's actually going on with young people and wine.

Since the start of the global pandemic, it has faced numerous obstacles.

The first Covid-19-related restrictions came in March 2020. Since then, there have been multiple starts and stops to alcohol sale, transport and export. Figures have estimated billions of dollars of revenue lost, as well as hundreds of thousands of drinks-industry jobs.

But simultaneously, the country has maintained international relationships, improved global standing and further honed-in on its own brand and messaging, leading to improved quality overall.

Managing Editor Lauren Buzzeo catches up on the current state of affairs for South African wine with Jim Clarke, Marketing Manager for trade group Wines of South Africa USA as well as author of the book The Wines of South Africa.

There's clearly been a lot of recent change in the South African wine industry. Some good, some bad, some still to be fully determined. But at the end of the day, the takeaway remains—there's truly never been a better time to drink South African wine.

From assorted appellations and using different grape varieties and techniques, a beautiful array of offerings can be found from the country.

But with so much variety, it can be a little tricky to know exactly what kind of final wine you should expect in any given glass.

To help break it down, Tasting Director Alexander Peartree talks with Giuseppe LoCascio, Chief Everything Officer of Vntners and Lucidity Wine Merchants, about four of the country's prominent sparkling wine selections: Prosecco, Franciacorta, Trentodoc and Lambrusco.

They cover what sets each of these sparkling wines apart, and why they are great go-tos for any occasion.

India, Says the Country's First Master of Wine]]>

Sonal Holland, India's first-ever master sommelier, had a feeling that wine would be big business on the subcontinent back when she first entered the wine scene nearly 20 years ago.

"I could see that it was going to grow, and there were no qualified wine professionals in the country," she tells us. "I don't think anyone was sitting there thinking, 'Oh, let's have an MW from India,'" she admits. "But somehow there was a voice inside of me that said, 'No, this, this can be something real.'"

That instinct turned out to be wildly accurate. Between 2023 and 2027, Euromonitor predicts an annual growth rate of 12% in wine consumption in India. That could translate to an industry worth $700 million by 2030.

Tune into this episode to hear more about wine's rise in India, and what it could mean for the global wine market.

This episode of the Wine Enthusiast Podcast explores how beer's most important ingredient is often overlooked by consumers, and why chemistry, conservation and cleaning are front-of-mind for brewers.

Beer Editor John Holl speaks with three beer professionals who are working toward making water a larger part of beer conversations: John Kimmich of The Alchemist in Vermont, Cody Reif of New Belgium Brewing in Colorado, and Luke Wortendyke of Wrenhouse Brewing in Arizona.

There are many remarkable female winemakers throughout the wine world that blazed new paths to the benefit of generations to come. As the industry evolves, we assess the similar issues several of them faced, versus what points of differentiation may have affected their vision or outcome. 

Senior Editor Stacy Briscoe speaks with Dr. Lucia Albino Gilbert, coauthor of the book Women Winemakers: Personal Odysseys, about the journeys of many of these women, and how they largely demonstrate a commonality of purpose and direction despite occurring in different times and cultures.
