The Wineitupanotch Podcast

Send us Fan Mail I’ve been trying to be “dry” this month, ostensibly to make up for past indulgences!  But I still need to pick out a “Wine of the Week” to review on my blog (lucky me!) and this time, I’ve picked a Bonarda from Argentina! I’m a really big fan of this undercover superstar grape.  Though it does not have the fame of Malbec, it is undeniably Argentina’s #2 red grape variety and for g...

Send us Fan Mail I’m reminiscing in this episode….a past trip to Tuscany has got me daydreaming!  It’s a wonderful place for a family trip and I’ll tell you why I think so.  I’ll also tell you about one of Tuscany’s most famous wine regions….none other than the famous Chianti! Chianti is a really large place that produces some of the world’s best known wines!  Listen to this episode to learn a lit...

Send us Fan Mail Have you always wanted to know more about Bordeaux wines and maybe even drink more from this region but thought it was beyond your reach?  I think Bordeaux gets a bad rap sometimes. People often think it’s too fancy, too complicated….and perhaps most often, too expensive.  But Bordeaux doesn’t have to be any of these things…especially expensive.  Did you know that most Bordeaux wi...

Send us Fan Mail Things continue to go against my plans - but I’m rolling with it.  And this has got me thinking about how wine spoils unexpectedly too.  Tune in to learn about a very common wine fault and how you can detect it so that you’re more likely to avoid drinking bad wine….because let’s be honest, who wants that? Happy listening. Cheers! —------------------------ Let’s stay in touch - we...

Send us Fan Mail I’m in the midst of new life challenges and a seemingly dreary few weeks (and hopefully not months!) ahead and things are looking grim.  Listen in to hear what is going on and also hear my perspective, as a wine lover and wine influencer, as to how important it is to not use wine or any other substance to cope with the challenges that life throws our way.   Remember, always drink...

Send us Fan Mail I’m back from my trip and excited to tell you all about the beautiful places we visited….in Colombia!  There is no doubt that Colombia is a stunning and mesmerizing country that should be on every avid traveller’s “must see” list. And of course, I checked out the wine scene there and I’m here to tell you all about it.  It’s still in its infancy…but did you know that they make wine...

Send us Fan Mail It’s a new year and it’s time to set new intentions and goals!  In this episode, we discuss how I like to approach the new year and I also tell you a bit about how one of the episodes of this podcast almost didn’t happen! We also take a look at what makes Champagne what it is….and what it isn’t. Cheers! —------------------------ Let’s stay in touch - we always love to hear from yo...

Send us Fan Mail I’m busy preparing to go on a family trip and it’s driving me crazy! In this episode, we look at the realities of trying to get away for a family vacation, only to find yourself buried in busy work and chaos!  It’s a familiar scene - nothing is packed, there’s a ton to do and the whole house is a mess! Using this typical life scene as a springboard, we explore the busy nature of t...

Send us Fan Mail Are you someone who enjoys meditation?  Or do you want to get started with a new meditation practice?   In this episode, we take a look at the benefits of meditation and just how easy it is to get started.  We also explore how the fundamental principles behind the practice of meditation can be applied to enhance and elevate the art of enjoying a glass (or a few!) of wine and reall...
