The Vintage Passport
by Noah Tetzner
The Vintage Passport is a weekly wine podcast hosted by historian and wine collector Noah Tetzner. Each episode explores the history and culture behind the world’s great wines through conversations with leading wine historians, authors, and scientists. Travel from the vineyards of Burgundy, Bordeaux, and Champagne to California, Italy, Australia, and across the world. Step into the cellars where French winemakers hid their treasures from the Nazis during World War II, and go back thousands of years to the search for where grapevines were first domesticated. Discover how wars, revolutions, trade, religion, and science shaped the wines we drink today, and why every bottle carries a story worth telling. Whether you’re a curious wine lover, a history buff, a sommelier, or someone who simply enjoys a good glass with a good story, The Vintage Passport is your guide to the history of wine, famous wine regions, grape varieties, and the people who made them matter.
