In this episode, we're joined by the brilliant and entertaining wine educator, Jacinta Maddison Williams, the creative force behind Inflorescence. From hosting paint-and-sip classes to offering DIY wine kits and curating chef experiences with perfect pairings, Jacinta’s passion for wine is infectious.
Together, we dive into her Top 5 Lesser-Known White Grape Varieties—a must for your Christmas table or a refreshing start to “Try January.” Forget dry January and embrace discovery with these surprising and delightful wines.
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!
