Unfiltered Uncorked

First week in Australia

We made it to Australia… and our first week did NOT disappoint. 😅In this episode of Unfiltered Uncorked, we’re breaking down everything that happened during our first 7 days working harvest at Australian wineries — from absolute airport chaos to cleaning tanks, cultural differences, and realizing we’re about to process thousands of tons of fruit.

Dry January??

We break down common wine faults like cork taint, brett, oxidation, volatile acidity, sulfur, and microbial spoilage — plus share real winery stories, tasting room chaos, and how an oxidized rosé somehow became a crowd favorite. We wrap things up with some Australia daydreaming and a chaotic round of an incoherent word game. Educational, unfiltered, and just the right amount of unhinged. Sip happens.

New Year, New Moves!

Kicking off 2026 with bubbly in hand and a big life update. We’re catching up, sharing what’s ahead this year, and easing into the new season of Unfiltered Uncorked the only way we know how — casually, honestly, and a little unhinged. Thanks for being here as we start another year together!! 🍾🥂

Prosecco-Ho-Ho

We’re closing out the year the only way we know how — mimosas, Christmas chaos, and zero filters. This episode has Prosecco education, family holiday stories, Santa debates, toxic Christmas traits, and way too many opinions before noon. Thank you for listening, laughing, and drinking along with us this year. We wouldn’t trade this chaos for anything 🥂

The Joey Episode

The Joey Episode is finally here. 🍷 Our winemaker steps out from behind the barrels to taste an Oregon Pinot with us, unpack the aroma wheel, and spill 20 years’ worth of real winemaking stories. We’re talking harvest chaos, region-to-region secrets, why Pinot is a dramatic diva, and what people always get wrong about the wine industry. It’s equal parts chaotic, hilarious, and genuinely educational — classic Uncle Joey energy. Sip, laugh, learn. Stay unfiltered. Stay uncorked.
