Customer Reviews
Goes deeper than any other show
Whether it’s Chris, Stacy, or Bryce leading the interview, or the blind tastings with Emily, I love this show and can’t wait for future episodes.
Most informational wine podcast available
There is no excuse for what Geoff Kruth did during his time in GuildSomm. However, if we disregard that and only focus on the content, this is one of the best, if not the best, wine podcast available. The guests on this show are the leading experts in the industry. The information is cutting edge. I have read a lot of wine books on my spare time, but the information provided in these podcasts expand so much of my knowledge. The hosts really have the knowledge to challenge the guest to reveal information that is one layer deeper than on the surface.
Long Winded
