Want to know more? On each episode of V is for Vino you’ll:

Meet a winemaker and learn their story. One of the best parts of drinking wine is getting to know the place where it came from and the people who made it!

Learn about the grapes. Vince breaks down wine topics easily and makes them fun and easy to understand!

Visit the region. Not everyone gets to travel to wine country as much as they'd like, so experience the beauty and culture first hand with Vince. Travel the world and sip along from the comfort of your couch!

Cook dishes that pair at a local restaurant…because what’s good wine without good food? Luckily, the world of wine is full of amazing chefs and restaurants ready to serve up something delicious to pair with the wine you just learned about.
