This episode wraps up our four-part series where we get to know each voice behind Wet Hot Wine, a podcast about friendship, storytelling, and figuring out what we actually like to drink. Episode 5 is all about Shannon, including her Texas roots, love of gardening, and her journey into wine.

We talk about how curiosity, creativity, and approachability shape the way she drinks and shares wine. Then we shake things up with a label-driven tasting, choosing bottles based entirely on the artwork. It turns out wine labels really do matter, and it is very revealing to see what colors, fonts, and vibes each person is immediately drawn to. Therapy? No. Informative? Absolutely.

Pour a glass and join us for the final chapter of this series, blending wine, personal stories, and the kind of conversation that only happens when friends sit around a table, judge wine by its cover, and then decide if they were right.

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.
