Hello wine friends, and welcome back! We’re thrilled to welcome Vince Anter, the founder behind the acclaimed independent wine series, V is for Vino, where Vince takes us beyond the bottle, exploring the culture, history, and winemaking philosophies that shape some of the world’s most iconic wine regions.


Join us as Vince shares his journey into creating this celebrated series, the challenges he’s overcome, and unforgettable stories from his travels. We’ll also get an exclusive sneak peek into his upcoming episode on France’s Loire Valley, renowned for its diverse wines, stunning landscapes, and legendary castles. Plus, don’t miss his passionate take on Chenin Blanc and the hidden gems of the region.


And a special thanks to Coravin, our sponsor for this episode, for giving wine enthusiasts the chance to explore wines one glass at a time without uncorking the entire bottle. Tune in for an inspiring chat, and don't forget to pour yourself something special!
