Favorite wine podcasts.

    When I'm not drinking wine, like on my commute to and from work, here are a few of my favorite wine related podcasts to break up the ride. 

3 Wine Guys.
    Definitely my favorite. Informative and humorous, this is a really good listen.They usually switch from a themed podcast about a specific varietal, producer or region, to a What are we drinking blogcast that consists of any wines that they may have recently consumed. They provide a good amount of producer information while keeping it pretty light with no pretension.Somewhat inconsistent with the release of new podcasts.

Grape Radio.
  Enjoyable podcast with winemaker interviews, live seminars and controversial discussions.

Guild of Sommeliers.
  A little more high brow than the others, but fascinating to listen to actual blind tastings and the thought process used to determine the region, variety and vintage of selected wines.

I'll Drink to That.
  Levi Dalton's podcast that revolve around interviews with industry professionals including  sommeliers, distributors, producers and journalists.


And a shout out to Wine Library TV, Gary has a strong personality that some may not like, but the blind tastings are always fun to watch. They are no longer producing new shows but you can still download back episodes. I recommend searching out the brown bags and winemaker episodes.
