Unwined: Behind Every Great Wine is a Great Story
About this episode
This episode explores the stories behind great wines, featuring interviews with winemakers and discussions on sustainable practices.
What makes a great bottle of wine? Is it the grape, the region, the winemaker... or the story behind it? This week on Unwined with Mandi, we're discovering why great wine is about so much more than what's in your glass. First, I sit down with Véronique Hombreaux from Mouton Cadet to explore the winery's Fair for Life certification and what ethical, sustainable winemaking really means—for the people who grow the grapes, the communities they support, and ultimately, the wines we enjoy. Then we're off to Tuscany to meet Ettore Arturo Rizzi of Fattoria Le Pupille. We'll dive into the history of this celebrated estate, the philosophy behind its wines, and highlight a few bottles you can pick up right here at the SAQ. And of course, I'll wrap up the show with my Wines of the Week—a fresh lineup of bottles perfect for your next barbecue, dinner party or relaxing evening on the patio.
