Adapting, Judging, and Unlearning Wine with Joe Roberts

In this episode of The Wonderful World of Wine (WWW), hosts Kim and Mark sit down for an engaging conversation with Joe Roberts, the creative force behind the long-running, award-winning blog 1WineDude. Joe is also the author of three fantastic books: Wine Taster’s Guide: Drink and Learn with 30 Wine Tastings, How to Win at Wine, and Unlearning Wine.
Joe shares the story of his background and reflects on how his blog has adapted over the years to stay relevant in an ever-changing wine landscape. We dive into the meaning behind his unique motto and explore the fun, creative reasons behind his famous wine badge rating system.
Whether you are a novice or a seasoned enthusiast, Joe explains why it is incredibly important to learn exactly what you like in the wine world—and, more importantly, how to actually put that knowledge to practical use. We also chat about the wine shop experience, exploring why different retail environments offer such vastly distinct buying experiences.
Finally, Joe pulls back the curtain on what is currently annoying him in the wine industry, defines what "cheap wine" really means, and gives us a fascinating inside look at what is truly involved in professional wine judging.
