Hosted by a Sommelier, Distiller, and Cicerone with over 30 years in the beverage industry, the show dives into wine, beer, and spirits from a perspective most reviews miss. Every drink is tasted twice — first on its own, and then paired with food — because the chemistry between food and alcohol can dramatically change the experience. Since nearly 80% of alcohol is consumed alongside food, this show focuses on the way people actually enjoy beverages in real life. Each episode features expert tasting notes, honest ratings, and conversations with winemakers, brewers, distillers, chefs, rock stars, TV personalities, and local restaurant owners who share their stories, insights, and favorite pairings. Whether you're a casual drinker, a food lover, or a serious beverage enthusiast, The Wine Guy delivers entertaining conversations, practical pairing advice, and a behind-the-scenes look at the world of great drinks and great food. Because the best way to judge a drink isn’t just in the glass — it’s at the table. episodic Jeff Kretschmar The Wine Guy is a food-and-drink pairing show that reveals how alcohol truly tastes when it meets the plate.
