It's the Winemaker's World, We're Just Sippin' In It.

Épisode 3

mercredi 11 juin 2025 • Durée 21:00

Ever wondered what really happens between the vineyard and all the swirling, sniffing, and sipping when the wine reaches your glass? On this episode of Wine Tripping, Amanda pulls back the curtain on the secrets of winemaking, stripping away the mystique and showing you just how much magic (and muscle) goes into every bottle.

Amanda takes you from her first grape-stomping shock in Napa to the heart of the winery, where tradition meets innovation and every decision—harvest, fermentation, aging—shapes the wine in your glass. You’ll learn about hand vs machine harvesting, why no two bottles are ever quite the same, how a winemaker’s playlist or a midnight harvest can change everything, and why asking “basic” questions at a winery is actually the smartest move.

Whether you’re a curious newbie or a seasoned sipper, Amanda will have you seeing, tasting, and appreciating wine in a whole new way. So pour yourself a glass, press play, and get ready to dive deep into the world of winemaking—one sip at a time.

Wine Tripping in Tuscany - Finding a Sangiovese State of Mind & Tasting Tuscany’s True Colors

Épisode 6

mercredi 2 juillet 2025 • Durée 26:38

Confession time: despite Italian wines having a reputation as some of the most legendary wines to ever fill a stemmed glass, Amanda had always been lukewarm on them. They just didn’t stir her imagination that way other regions did.

That is until she was invited to visit Tuscany by one of the OG producers of Brunello di Montalcino - Biondi-Santi. And once she stepped foot on their vineyard, breathed the Tuscan air and tasted the food while sipping from her glass, Amanda finally fell for Italian wines (and also, you know, Italy).

So on this episode of Wine Tripping, Amanda whisks you away to the rolling hills of Tuscany, where every bottle tells a story of place, tradition, and a little bit of Italian magic.

Ever wondered why Italian wine labels never mention the grape? Or what BDT, IGT, DOC, and DOCG mean? After this trip, you’ll be able to decode them like a pro. Amanda cracks open the secrets of Italian wine regions, from the sun-drenched vineyards of Chianti to the storied cellars of Montalcino, explains why Sangiovese is the soul of Tuscany, and gives you some must-know tips on how to survive those winding Tuscan roads,

So pour yourself a glass, press play, and get ready to fall in love with Italy—one region, one grape, and one unforgettable story at a time.
