This Week on Unwined with Mandi: A Barossa Legend, a Fresh New Look, and a New Way to Date!

This week on Unwined with Mandi, we’re heading to Australia’s Barossa Valley to discover the fascinating story behind one of the country’s most iconic wine names, Peter Lehmann.

I’m joined by Andrew Stark from Peter Lehmann Wines to talk about the man who helped shape the Barossa wine industry, his extraordinary legacy, and the wines that continue to carry his name. We’ll also discuss the winery’s refreshed look, including its new, elegant labels. The packaging may have changed, but the great wines inside remain the same!

Then, we’re switching gears from wine to romance!

Marie-Chantal Pénouf, founder of VYBZ, joins me to talk about a fresh approach to dating in Montreal. With so many singles frustrated by dating apps, VYBZ is bringing people together through real-life connections and experiences. We’ll find out what inspired Marie-Chantal to launch the service, how it works, and why meeting someone in person might just be making a comeback.

This Thanksgiving weekend on Unwined with Mandi, we’re exploring what to pour for everyone around the table. Dawn Murray joins us to introduce Vierge, a Canadian-owned, Quebec-made non-alcoholic wine alternative crafted with fermented tea, fruit concentrates and tannins. We’ll discover what inspired her to create it and how she builds flavour and texture without relying on alcohol.

Pierre-Adrien Fleurant of Maison AIX takes us to Provence to talk rosé, and why this versatile wine deserves a place alongside your Thanksgiving turkey and all the trimmings. Then, Alessandro and Alberto Tasca of Sicily’s Tasca d’Almerita share their approach to sustainability and the work behind protecting the land that produces their wines. Plus, my Wines of the Week, with delicious recommendations and pairings for your Thanksgiving meal.

This week on Unwined with Mandi, we’re heading to Italy with Alessandro Medici of Medici Ermete to debunk some of the biggest misconceptions about Lambrusco. We’ll discover what makes their Concerto so unique — a single-vineyard Lambrusco that’s dry, vibrant, high-quality and seriously delicious.

Plus, I’m sharing details about the upcoming Unwined & Uncorked trips to Portugal, Madeira and the Azores in 2027! Click on the link below for more info :
