In this episode, Forrest Kelly and our resident wine curmudgeon, Sour Grapes, tackle the age-old question: What wine glass should you use? Sour Grapes breaks it down with his signature blend of grumpy wisdom and humor, making it simpler than you might think.
Discover why different wines benefit from different glass shapes. Reds need big bowls to breathe, whites prefer smaller ones to stay cool, and sparkling wines thrive in tall, skinny glasses. And what about rosé? Sour Grapes calls it the wild child, suitable for either a white wine glass or a universal glass—just keep it clean!
While having a specific glass for each type of wine is ideal, Sour Grapes reassures that in a pinch, even a mason jar can work. Wine is about enjoyment, not snobbery, after all. Plus, get a final tip on how to hold your glass by the stem to keep your wine cool and look like a pro.

Welcome back to The Best 5 Minute Wine Podcast! Forrest Kelly and our resident wine curmudgeon, Sour Grapes, are here to guide you through the delightful art of pairing wine with meals. Forget the old strict rules—it's all about enhancing your dining experience with these four simple guidelines.
Guideline 1: Find the sweet spot. Ensure your dessert wine is sweeter than the dessert itself. Think sweet port with chocolate cake for a perfect match.
Guideline 2: Opposites attract. Pair a crisp Riesling with spicy Thai dishes or champagne with French fries. The contrast can be surprisingly delightful.
Guideline 3: What grows together goes together. Foods and wines from the same region often taste great together. Consider goat cheese with Sancerre or lamb with Pinot Noir.
Guideline 4: Like goes with like. Match the intensity of the wine with the dish. A buttery Chardonnay complements a rich pasta sauce, while a bold Cabernet Sauvignon pairs perfectly with a juicy steak.
Join us as Sour Grapes pours his grumpy wisdom, one vintage at a time, and even shares a little joke to keep things light. Why did the sommelier bring a bottle of Chardonnay to the seafood restaurant? Because he heard it was shrimp-ly the best match!
