Friendship tastes better when it’s shared, and that’s exactly how Through the Grapevine grew from a personal love of wine into a citywide community. In this episode, we sit down with the team behind the movement to explore how a simple passion became a welcoming club where novices, enthusiasts, and certified sommeliers learn side by side, with no gatekeeping, just good pours and even better conversation.
We dive into the tools and tricks that turn tasting into confidence, starting with the Five S’s: See, Swirl, Sniff, Sip, Savor. From unlocking aromas to pairing for holidays or choosing bottles that match your mood, we break wine down in plain English. Learn why rainfall can change flavor year to year, how soil and sun shape Albariño’s zest, why Montepulciano feels cozy by the fire, and when a zippy Sauvignon Blanc shines at Thanksgiving.
Through the Grapevine is more than wine knowledge, it’s about connection. We talk event design and vendor partnerships that spark interaction, like Italian nights with passionate distributors, haunted wine walks through Marietta Square, and even Taco Bell pairing nights. Atlanta’s thriving wine scene brings bottles from California, Oregon, and beyond into reach, while their online community keeps the conversation flowing with virtual tastings, bottle notes, and recommendations for friends near and far.
Join us for the stories behind their favorite moments, tips for choosing wine confidently, seasonal picks, and ways to make tasting an experience, not just a pour. Whether you’re staring at a menu guessing or already a budding sommelier, this episode is your invitation to sip, learn, and connect, one shared glass at a time.
