We continue our four-part series where we get to know each voice behind Wet Hot Wine, a wine podcast about friendship, storytelling, and figuring out what we actually like to drink. This episode is all about Brit and her love of Pinot Noir! Add in her effortlessly cool fashion sense and (slightly) intimidating energy, and you know you’re in for a good time.

We talk whole cluster fermentation—what it means, why winemakers use it, and how it can change the character of a wine—then put that knowledge to the test with an educational tasting. There are opinions, discoveries, and at least one “wait…what am I tasting?” moment. It's a true cluster funk.

Along the way, Brit tells a story about a truly unforgettable (and slightly embarrassing) medical incident, opens up about her journey with anxiety, and talks candidly about navigating life with a daughter who has Type 1 diabetes—bringing humor, honesty, and heart to the conversation.

We finish the episode with a moment inspired by Lady Gaga herself. Let’s just say… ooh-la-la.

Grab a glass and settle in for a wine conversation that mixes learning, laughter, and real-life stories shared around the table.

This episode continues our four-part series where we get to know each voice behind Wet Hot Wine, a wine podcast about friendship, storytelling, and figuring out what we actually like to drink. Episode 3 is all about Stephanie and her love of pét-nat—naturally sparkling wines made using the ancient ancestral method and once known as the devil’s wine.

We talk about what makes pét-nat so appealing (and a little chaotic), from low-intervention winemaking and fruity, fizzy flavors to why it’s often compared to kombucha or cider. Along the way, Stephanie shares personal stories—including a very adventurous bungee jumping date—walks us through what would be on her ideal charcuterie board, vents about zipper merging, and joins in a round of spin the bottle (not like what you’re thinking).

Pour something bubbly and hang out with us for a fun, approachable conversation that blends wine education, personal stories, and the kind of chat that only happens when friends sit down together with a bottle that likes to do its own thing.

This episode kicks off our four-part series where we get to know each voice behind Wet Hot Wine, a wine podcast about friendship, storytelling, and figuring out what we actually like to drink. First up is Chelsea. We talk Texas roots, a first date that involved going to the middle of nowhere with a stranger, add in a white wine tasting and competition for good measure, and discover that she and Brit share a very real love of knitting…which means the knitting talk absolutely happens (you’ve been warned).

Along the way, we introduce the five core traits of wine and use them as a simple framework to better understand Chelsea’s wine preferences and tasting notes. Stephanie, Shannon, and Brit each bring a white wine to the table in an attempt to be Chelsea’s pick by the end of the episode. There are opinions, there is confusion, and one wine very clearly wins Chelsea over—but you’ll have to listen to find out which.

Pour a glass and hang out with us for a fun, approachable wine conversation that blends wine education, personal stories, and the kind of chat that only happens when friends sit down together with something good to drink.
