Some episodes will feature interviews with importers, retailers, sommeliers, wine makers, and other enthusiasts, some will just be me talking about a particular subject like a wine/winemaker/style/region/or even an essay on philosophy of natural or low intervention wine. The podcast is meant for both beginners AND people already into the wine scene... it is intended to demystify and make natural wine more appealing and easy to understand. Glug glug!!! π·πΎπ·πΎπ·πΎπ·πΎπ·πΎπ·πΎπ·πΎ INTRO FOR THE EPISODE: π·πΎπ·πΎπ·πΎπ·πΎπ·πΎπ·πΎπ·πΎ Today I think back to when it was freezing and dark and cold in early early February. Luckily, I had a little bit of warmth in my day by talking with my friend Sarka Betke. Like a cup of hot chocolate, Sarka is sweet and gives you the feeling of warmth inside. Sarka comes from my favorite region in the Czech Republic and she has taught me plenty about the wine from where she is from along with exposing me to a number of wonderful wines. Her company Vinofactum was originally intended only to be b2b, but due to the pandemic, she had to make some changes, which I think have greatly benefited the end consumer by having to open an online shop & deal directly with the public. Sarka invited me to the tasting that gave rise to the essay we adapted in the last episode, and has offered to help me find people to work with/for once the pandemic is over in her home country. A true mensch. You'll love this episode! Genre Learning
