Three Wine Nerds We Love Here at Small Wine Shop, we love to nerd out about wine. But here is the thing: there are a ton of people who present themselves as experts who are anything but. So, we thought we’d share a few voices in the wine industry that we really enjoy and respect. To call these folks, influencers really does them a disservice. They are journalists and wine professionals who are putting in the hard work to make wine accessible and easy to understand, and not only that, they also highlight a diverse variety of wine professionals. We are super-fans, and we hope you’ll love them ..read more
