Episode 4: Brit and the Pinot Noir Cluster Funk

We continue our four-part series where we get to know each voice behind Wet Hot Wine, a wine podcast about friendship, storytelling, and figuring out what we actually like to drink. This episode is all about Brit and her love of Pinot Noir! Add in her effortlessly cool fashion sense and (slightly) intimidating energy, and you know you’re in for a good time.We talk whole cluster fermentation—what it means, why winemakers use it, and how it can change the character of a wine—then put that knowledge to the test with an educational tasting. There are opinions, discoveries, and at least one “wait…what am I tasting?” moment. It's a true cluster funk.Along the way, Brit tells a story about a truly unforgettable (and slightly embarrassing) medical incident, opens up about her journey with anxiety, and talks candidly about navigating life with a daughter who has Type 1 diabetes—bringing humor, honesty, and heart to the conversation.We finish the episode with a moment inspired by Lady Gaga herself. Let’s just say… ooh-la-la.Grab a glass and settle in for a wine conversation that mixes learning, laughter, and real-life stories shared around the table.
