Ever wonder why that wine club Chardonnay tastes completely different from what you remember at the winery?

Wine lovers often feel confused and disappointed when their favorite wines taste different from bottle to bottle, making them question their own wine-tasting abilities.

In this episode, I'll reveal why some wines taste the same year after year while others change dramatically – and why both styles can be exactly what you're looking for!

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU'LL DISCOVER:

  • The fascinating difference between "predictable" and "authentic" wines
  • Why big brands can make consistent wines year after year (and how they do it)
  • How to find amazing authentic wines at grocery stores, wine shops, and wineries
