    Great show for wine lovers
    Love the show! I always learn so much and the hosts are great!
  • MissT 21
    Awesome Show!!
    This show is perfect for wine lovers and enthusiasts. I highly recommend it. It’s not only informative with great topics, but the hosts are so charismatic and funny. Overall very enjoyable and easy to listen to podcasts. I look forward to the latest posts. Listening from BERMUDA. Keep up the good works guys!
  • Fan of itsgr82bme
    Witty Wine Banter with a lovely accent to boot.
    Is there anything more enjoyable than listening to a British Couple banter about wine? Probably not, so have a listen and enjoy hearing about all things wine. Cheers, chaya_loves_wine

    Gift yourself this podcast.
    I have worked at a winery in Oregon, USA and though now that is well behind me I still love to listen, to chat, and enjoy wine speak. Susie and Peter are so much fun to listen to. It feels like the famous George Burns and Gracie of wine. The way their podcast is presented is light hearted and not too serious. What a fresh breath of air in our apocalyptic world in 2023 . Keep up the fun and be certain you have found a new listener in the USA. A bonne santé. Robb LeBlanc

    What a treat
    I have been searching for an informative and fun wine podcast. Had a few false starts elsewhere and then I discovered Wine Blast. I am delighted to have found Susie & Peter. This is an enjoyable and informative podcast, not dull and not frivolous. Binge listening to it from the beginning, and thoroughly enjoying the experience.
  • Busschops
    Bloody brilliant!
    Just happened upon Susie and Peter’s podcast last week. As a recently outed wine enthusiast, I love absorbing the knowledge shared on the podcast. Great combination of theoretical frame, personal insights, tips and experiences, with great and relevant guests. Their sense of humor tops it off. Keep it up!

    100 point podcast
    New Yorker/wine drinker here! Wine Blast is engaging, entertaining, and charming. Susie and Peter are knowledgeable without being pretentious, and they’re also so much fun to listen to. I just passed my WSET Level 2, and I’m hungry (or should I say thirsty?) for more wine knowledge. This podcast is helping me fill the yawning void before I take Level 3 next year. Susie and Peter have got me seriously considering switching careers and entering the wine industry one day, but until then - I’ll keep listening to Wine Blast.

    Learning for the pros
    I love listening to the show. I learn every episode. Working on my WSET Diploma and the information is brought to real life from the text through Susie and Peter, and it helps the studying tremendously. Keep up the great show! Cheers!

    From an American Listener
    I use my drive time to listen to my podcasts-evenly split between wine related and leadership. I know-weird combo. I love this podcast. Very upbeat, informative, and just downright fun. Exactly what I need to listen to after another trying day at work (healthcare). Thank you. You guys are great.
  • Alexstrath1
    Love love love
    Peter and Susie have put out one of the most fun wine podcasts. I listen a lot and they do such a great job and combing great knowledge and hilarious commentary on wine.
  • rempelstilts
    Engaging and entertaining podcast!
    I love love love this show! Susie and Peter are HILARIOUS and make learning about wine very enjoyable. I’ve learned a lot from this podcast as well been provided with some great entertainment. Susie and Peter are serious about wine, without taking themselves too seriously. I’m a server and have been getting more into my wine studies this past year and this podcast continues to keep me excited about wine. Each time I listen to it I’m tempted to pick up my wine books and read (and sometimes I even do)! Thank you!

    Great for starting!
    Just staring my wine journey, and this has been a fantastic podcast to listen to and absorb information!
  • ChristosNYC
    Fun and informative
    They do a really great job of making the conversation interesting, fun and informative. Great for learning more about wine in a non pretentious way
  • Pwbnyc
    Fun podcast. Good material. Not too long. Subscribe!
    Susie and Peter have hit their groove and are putting out great pod. Hit that subscribe button!
  • RCRX12
    Entertaining and educational at the same time!
    Really glad that I stumbled onto this podcast. As a wine enthusiast - and a WSET diploma student - I really enjoy listening to these two discuss wines. They are engaging and present wine in a way that non-professionals can understand. I particularly like the fact that they choose wines that most people can afford to discuss. While the wines they choose are not normally available here in the US - it does want to make me want to stop at Tesco or Aldi the next time I am traveling through the UK! Cheers and well done!

    Enjoyable and Informative
    Enthusiastic and lively hosts, they come across as well-educated and down-to-earth. The content is applicable for multiple levels and backgrounds of wine-loving listeners. I appreciate their wine tastings in the podcasts are affordable and seemingly available for the average listener.
