    Great resource, helping promote everything Texas Wine
    I enjoy each and every episode!
  • PSS-LAS
    Great for Texas Wine!
    I have been listening since Episode 1. Shelly is a great ambassador for Texas wine. I have always been more informed after listening to one of her interviews

    This is Texas Wine Podcast Stands Out!
    I’ve been surfing podcasts to find one that is concise, informative, and entertaining. Shelly Wilfong does a fantastic job of doing this. Whether you want to learn about specific wineries or educational opportunities or plan a trip, her podcasts are worth your time. If you want to support our Texas wine industry as I do, start here for guidance!
  • DeniseinAustin
    In the know about Texas wine
    This podcast shares all the news, insights, facts and figures, and trends happening in the Texas wine industry. Shelly stays in the know by attending events, visiting wineries, interviewing people from all aspects of the industry. While serious, the podcast is fun and conversational. It’s an easy listen and I always learn something from each episode.
  • DebEignerCahill
    This is [the best] Texas Wine [podcast]!
    Shelly does a great job of interviewing guests. You can tell that she does her research before the interview. She doesn’t just show up with a stale stock list of inane questions & use it as an opportunity to drink & giggle. She actually listens to the guest’s answers & asks pertinent follow up questions to do a deeper dive. Guests start giving better answers because they sense that they are talking to someone who is knowledgeable, genuinely interested & who will understand what they are talking about. Shelly does a fantastic job of showcasing all the reasons we love Texas wine…….Texas terroir, Texas grapes, Texas winemakers, Texas wineries, Texas hospitality & above all quality of the final product!
  • saved by grace in Texas
    Excellent
    I love this podcast. I’ve learned so much about Texas wines.
  • Ocrush
    Wine podcast Gem
    I found this podcast while studying for my first WSET level one. I searched through many podcasts, and Shelleys format is exactly my style it’s full of information you can use plus wonderful stories from winery owners, and the lessons they’ve learned. I even learn about local events as well as how to support Texas wines, which is my favorite subject to talk about.
  • Tlpintpe
    Most informative Texas wine podcast
    I’ve listened to every episode…first review. Easily the most informative information source about Texas wine. Shelley has grown as a podcaster, and, more important, as an interviewer. The most recent episode (#63), captures the heart of Texas wine in Phil Lopez, but it displays Shelley’s skills as she asks specific questions about the realities of growing wine in Texas. I look forward to every episode for the news segments as she always finds items I’ve missed about the growing Texas wine industry. This is a must listen for those who want to learn about the growing (booming) Texas wine scene. You won’t be disappointed.
  • EMJI GRL
    Super interesting and entertaining

  • scott_cooked
    An informative exploration of Texas wine
    It didn’t take long to feel like I had massively leveled-up my knowledge of what’s going on in the Texas wine industry. It’s a good exploration of new and old winemakers and wineries but also shares information on current events and other interesting Texas wine topics.
  • VHeadTX
    Great podcast!
    This is a great resource for Texas wine lovers (veteran and aspiring). I like the blend of news, current events, education, and in depth interviews with the people involved in the Texas wine industry. You get great ideas for planning your next wine adventure!
  • dcwebman
    A must listen for Texas wine information!
    I am so glad to see how Shelly has progressed with the podcast in the past year. If you want Texas wine news, interviews with people in the Texas wine industry, and more, this is the podcast for you. Save it in your podcast player and enjoy!
  • boloyo
    Texas wine podcast
    I love this pod cast learning a lot about Texas wine . Shelley does a great job!!!
  • Gatorpr
    Great podcast.
    Really enjoy this podcast and seems to be getting better and better. Lots of great info is always provided about anything and everything related to texas wine. Only thing I would make a comment on is that sometimes I feel Shelly’s delivery is very formal or “news like“ and it’s probably just me but I don’t mind more casual delivery instead. I’m nitpicking though. Keep up great job!
  • Johnny Wine!
    Great info on every aspect of the Texas Wine Industry
    Shelly does a great job of covering every aspect of the Texas wine industry. She makes it easy for the casual wine drinker to understand this challenging market. It’s tough to stay independent in wine journalism. Shelly a been able to promote Texas wine without becoming beholden to any sponsor. That is a rare talent.
