Episode 183: Is Water Ruining Your Wine?

Jan 29, 2025
48:47

It’s likely that in many people’s minds, water resonates as a neutral, possibly the ultimate neutral. However, water does contain quite a bit of nuance—everything from tasting notes to mouthfeel. Knowing that means understanding that the water you’re drinking can affect the taste of whatever you’re enjoying alongside it—and that means your wine, too. But to what extent?

In this episode, decorated Advanced Sommelier Arthur Hon and Water Sommelier Martin Riese (as seen on Zac Efron’s Down to Earth, Conan and more) enjoyed a curated pairing of Martin’s waters and wines provided by Banville Wine Merchants. The conversation is moderated by Amy Racine, the partner and beverage director of JF Restaurants.
