The Sipster's Podcast
Hello Sipsters! Welcome to the newest podcast about a new way to experience wine. There will be no simplified point scores or effusive tasting notes – only experiences with wine. Based on the popular books "The Sipster’s Pocket Guide to 50 Must-Try Wines" from Ontario and British Columbia, this podcast will feature conversations with people who experience wines in their own way – wine lovers, winemakers, winery owners, influencers, and wine collectors. Pop the cork on your podcast app and enjoy the wine experience! Hosted by author and wine industry professional Luke Whittall.
