Do your palms sweat at the sight of a lengthy wine list? Do your eyes glaze over when people start talking about “tannins” or “appellations?” Wine doesn’t have to be scary OR stuffy. Join comedian and host Ben Schwartz – a self-proclaimed wine novice – on The Wine Down by Wine Dialogues, a new podcast that actually makes learning about wine fun. Each episode, Ben and a guest comedian sit down with a wine expert to ask all the questions you’ve been too afraid to ask. Listen along as they taste wine, share toasts, make up songs, and crack jokes on the wine podcast you’ve been waiting for. The Wine Down is sponsored by Wine Dialogues, a project of International Wine Merchants, Ltd. This content is intended for audiences 21 and older.
