001 - Meet Jolene Unland, host of Bordeaux Buzz podcast.

I’m an agronomist (which is a plant and soil scientist).  I’ve spent the past 20 years in agriculture science, specifically in the area of molecular diagnostics and germplasm improvement. 

I’ve traveled to various winemaking regions and visited Bordeaux several times in the past five years.  I’ve traveled as part of tour groups and DIY trips. 

While I enjoy many styles of wine, I keep coming back to the wines of Bordeaux and red wine blends.

Coming up, I’ll have interviews with winemakers and small business owners from the region. I’ll aim to have a new podcast every other week.

I’ll also be helping you to answer questions about wine storage and glassware.  I worked in or managed labs for over 20 years where refrigeration and glassware were part of my daily life.

In addition to meeting winemakers and entrepreneurs from the Bordeaux region, I’ll also be sharing with you how to plan your dream trip to Bordeaux as I’m “that person” that plans where to stay and what to do on vacations.  

Having been to the region a few times, I can say I’ve learned a few tips and tricks.

Meet the people doing the work, making the wine often within the same family for multiple generations, with the intent of passing their business to the next generation.  

So, I’d like to know what questions you might have about Bordeaux wines, growing grapes, winemaking.  Maybe you have some specific questions on how wines are classified, sold, and transported.

Shoot me an email at jolene@knowwines.com and I’ll help you get the answers.
