Tim Wildman MW: FUN Wine vs. FINE Wine

In this episode of the No Sediment Wine Podcast, I sit down with Tim Wildman MW to explore pét-nat, fun wine vs fine wine, and whether the wine world sometimes mistakes seriousness for quality. We talk about how Tim came to make low-intervention sparkling wine in Australia (and then in UK), what pét-nat really is, whether it can express terroir and other exciting topics.
