In this episode, we’re joined by Vince Anter, host of V is for Vino, for his third appearance on the show. Vince shares insights from his newest episodes, taking listeners on a journey through Burgundy and the Loire Valley—two of France’s most iconic wine regions.

In Burgundy, Vince dives into the region’s understated charm, from the limestone vineyards of Chablis to the rolling hills of the Mâconnais. He highlights how family-run producers focus on their land, creating wines that express the purity of terroir.

Vince explores Muscadet’s coastal freshness, the versatility of Chenin Blanc in Anjou and Saumur, and the savory beauty of Cabernet Franc from Chinon and beyond. He emphasizes how the Loire combines terroir-driven wines with remarkable value, making it a must-know region for every wine lover.
