    2026/03/08
    Welcome to #openbarstevie and Episode 2628 of the Italian Wine Podcast. It’s a casual video podcast filmed in the office, where wine people drop by, open a bottle or two, and hang out with moi! 😝 Sometimes they come alone, often in pairs or small groups. The conversation flows naturally and is not limited to wine. It touches on family, friendships, work, failures, successes, current events, and above all the Italian way of living. This is not an interview series in the traditional sense. It is closer to friends meeting at aperitivo time. Wine is the excuse, NOT the subject. The focus is on lived experience. What it really means to live and work in Italy today. The beauty, the contradictions, the chaos, the privilege, and the everyday rituals that define Italian lifestyle. 💡 Format: 30 to 45 minutes Filmed in the office with a relaxed, low-production setup 1 to 3 guests per episode Guests can be producers, communicators, importers, educators, creatives, or friends of the wine world.
