Grapes and Debates Podcast

Grapes & Debates is where wine meets real conversation.
Hosted by restaurant owners and industry insiders, this channel delivers blind tastings, bold opinions, and unfiltered debates on wine, restaurants, ratings, trends, and the business behind the bottle.

Each episode explores questions most wine shows avoid:

Are wine ratings still relevant?

Can great wine be affordable?

Does Napa still matter?

What restaurants are getting right—and wrong?

You’ll hear from winemakers, sommeliers, restaurateurs, and operators who live this industry every day. No scripts. No fluff. Just honest discussion, expert insight, and wines worth debating.

If you care about what’s in your glass, what’s broken in the industry, and what actually matters to guests, you’re in the right place.
