Wine with Meg + Mel Podcast

I team up with Australia’s first female Master of Wine Meg Brodtmann to make wine fun!

Every episode covers a varietal or a hot topic. Varietal episodes focus on food pairings, what to spend, and choosing the best examples. Topic episodes are varied, from discussing “clean” or “sugar free” wine (hint, we’re not impressed), to how to order wine at a restaurant, or giving the low-down on cellar door etiquette. Special guests include prominent sommeliers and cellar door specialists to give you tips on any wine situation you might find yourself in.

You’ll learn, laugh, and finish each episode feeling like a glass of wine.

Listen to the wine podcast on Spotify or Apple Podcasts.
