  • Summary

  • Have you ever thought about what really goes into the glass of wine you’re sipping? This episode will take you on a deep, sensory journey from the very first bud on the vine all the way to the finished bottle on your table. This isn’t just a wine—it’s a story of soil, sun, science, and soul. From vineyard planning and grape growing to harvest, fermentation, and bottling, Nick breaks down the incredible, labor-intensive process of how wine is made. Whether you’re a wine lover, a casual sipper, or just wine-curious, this solo episode is your behind-the-scenes look at what makes each bottle so complex, so flavorful, and so human.

    In this episode:
    • The lifecycle of a grape—from bud break to harvest
    • How weather, soil, and vineyard decisions shape your wine’s taste
    • What happens in the winery after grapes are picked
    • The difference between stainless steel, oak, and amphora aging
    • Malolactic fermentation, lees contact, and other winemaking magic
    • Why every sip of wine is a journey—and how to appreciate it more deeply

    Plus, Nick shares some exciting updates about his upcoming wine trips, including a 10-day Rhône River cruise through France and Germany in November 2025—and a newly announced adventure in Australia and New Zealand for 2026!
