Stephanie Morton-Small doesn’t just pour wine—he pours a brand new philosophy into the glass.
You will come away from this episode seeing wine, not merely as a world of flavor notes and technical jargon, but as a profound and very human emotional experience. Through a lively exploration, our guest debunks the notion that flavor descriptions—whether you taste blueberry, acacia, or the tang of tamarind—are a truly universal language. Instead, you’ll be invited to reconsider everything you thought you knew about how we talk about wine, learning why the language of food is deeply tied to geography, culture, and memory, while emotions cut across these borders as a universal thread. Listeners will discover how pairing wines with emotions—rather than with rigid, technical analysis or flavor wheels—makes the act of drinking and sharing wine infinitely more memorable and meaningful. Imagine describing a Bordeaux not as 'leathery' or 'earthy,' but as 'nostalgic,' 'joyful,' or even bittersweet. This episode doesn’t just expand your tasting vocabulary; it opens your palate to connections that linger far beyond the last sip, and gives you a whole new set of tools for sharing, savoring, and remembering the wines you love. Expect an experience that will stay with you long after the bottle is empty.
