Matt Talks Wine & Stuff with Interesting People

On Episode Four of the ‘Matt Talks Wine & Stuff with Interesting People’ Podcast I give another tip on how to fake being a wine expert and I review a solid Spanish Gran Reserva that is under $20. Laster I’m joined by a former WSET classmate and now the head Sommelier at the York Club Emily Pierce. We discuss her journey into wine, what defines a “good” bottle of wine and she plays a really mean trick on right before she breaks down a 2000 La Sirène de Giscours.

On the 3rd edition of the ‘Matt Talks Wine & Stuff with Interesting People’ Podcast I interview one of the few Master Sommeliers in Canada, Bruce Wallner. We discuss his journey from how a bottle of 1979 Krug clos du Mesnil helped get him into wine, working at the Hotel du Vin and the growth of the Somm Factory.

In the 2nd episode of the ‘Matt Talks Wine & Stuff With Interesting People’ Podcast Matt gives some advice on the proper etiquette at wine tastings (Get out of the way once your glass has been poured!). This week’s recommendation is a tasty California Chardonnay and Matt interviews a master of Chianti Classico Prince Duccio Corsini.

It’s the debut episode of ‘Matt Talks Wine & Stuff with Interesting People’ Podcast! Matt outlines what the Podcast is all about, his own philosophy on wine, the first bottle that inspired him to get into wine and his spectacular failure during the Service section of his Court of Master Sommeliers Certified exam. He ends it by endorsing the bottle he’s drank more of than any other.
