From bungee jumping with New Zealand winemakers, to a near helicopter crash in Virginia wine country with Chef José Andres, to an ear on the ground listening to the vineyard at a biodynamic winery in Austria, to the birthplace of wine in ancient Georgia: Food and Wine Executive Wine Editor, and author of the beautiful book, The World in a Wine Glass, Ray Isle has seen and done a lot in his 26 years as a wine writer. And he's just as curious today as he's ever been. He's also a really cool guy! Join us with this amazing storyteller as we traverse years and vineyards to learn the Stories in a Glass.

Cheers to Robin Epperson-McCarthy of Saltbird Cellars for the Saltbird Migratus, Jeff White and Cassie Gonce of Glen Manor Vineyards for the 2023 Cabernet Franc, and to Jenn Rogers for being videographer extraordinaire!

Here's to the wines we loved a little too long, the ones we swore we were done with, and the ones that surprise us in the best way. To toxic exes, better choices and women who know exactly what they're pouring and why! Joining us is the amazing best-selling author Renee Ventrice to discuss her book "Pour Relationship Choices-Every Sip Tells a Story Beyond the Glass".

Cheers to Holly Rocco Feraci, Renee Ventrice, Barboursville

"To every woman, every story, every shared glass."

Thanks to all the women winemakers out there! Cheers! Fun Fact, women have better senses of smell and taste than men, so as Gray said, "the world is suffering because there are more male winemakers than women."

Cheers to Praisy Dlamini, General Manager and Winemaker at HER Wine (and her all black women team!), Ntsiki Biyela, the first black woman winemaker on the continent of Africa, of Aslina Wines (named after her beloved grandmother!), and Judy Fowler founder of Puriri Hills, yet another badass. Shout out to Andrew Stover and Gray Mosby for the pours!
