About This Podcast

After Wine School is where real wine education meets real-world storytelling. Hosted by winemaker Keith Wallace and professor Alana Zerbe, the show cuts through myths, marketing, and snobbery to reveal how wine actually works: historically, scientifically, culturally, and sensorially. Every episode blends sharp insight, deep knowledge, and plenty of irreverence as Keith and Alana explore everything from ancient amphorae and climate change to yeast, psychology, and modern winemaking. Pour a glass, learn something real, and understand wine the way professionals do.
