How to Be Enthusiastic and Knowledgeable Without Intimidation

Adam and Zach respond to a listener question about how to talk about wines (or other drinks) that they like without making others feel like they have to agree. That turns into a conversation about how professional experience and connoisseurship can easily curdle into a superiority complex, or just come across as overbearing, and what they and others can do to avoid that. Please remember to subscribe to, rate, and review The VinePair Podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your episodes, and send any questions, comments, critiques, or suggestions to [email protected]. Thanks for listening, and cheers!
