E101 Marshall Tilden III | Joe Wagner

What if knowing more about wine actually made you take it LESS seriously?Marshall Tilden III—President of Wine Express and Wine Education at Wine Enthusiast—joins us to break down Old World vs. New World, how to taste and recognize the qualities of a good wine, and why making wine more approachable might be exactly what the industry needs.Serious wine knowledge. Zero wine snobbery. 🍷🎙️ Go With Your Palate: Marshall Tilden III | Serious Wine Knowledge Without the Serious Wine AttitudeThis week, we’re joined by Marshall Tilden III, DWS, CSW—President of Wine Express and Wine Education at Wine Enthusiast, longtime wine educator, writer, and one of those rare people who can bring some seriously impressive wine credentials to the table without making you feel like you need a dictionary just to order a glass. With nearly two decades at Wine Enthusiast, a WSET Diploma, CSW certification, and a career dedicated to helping people better understand—and actually enjoy—wine, Marshall is exactly the kind of voice the industry needs right now.We dive into Marshall’s journey from an upbringing that was a little English by name, Italian by experience, to discovering his passion for wine and eventually becoming an influential leader and educator in the industry. Along the way, we pull back the curtain on Wine Enthusiast, the work happening behind the scenes to educate and welcome the next generation of wine lovers, and Marshall’s own mission to help take some of the pretentiousness out of wine culture.Then we get properly cork-dorky: Old World vs. New World, why Americans tend to talk about wine by grape while Europeans often talk about place, wine scores, regions, varietals, and what actually matters when choosing a bottle. Because with all the rules, ratings, terminology, and traditions surrounding wine, sometimes the most important question is still the simplest: Do you actually enjoy what's in your glass?And because this is Go With Your Palate, education never means taking ourselves too seriously. Marshall brings the knowledge, Joe brings the winemaker perspective, Fat Mario brings... whatever Fat Mario brings—and somewhere along the way, a wine masterclass turns into exactly the kind of conversation we love having.Whether you're a seasoned vino geek, an aspiring cork dork, or someone who still picks a bottle because the label looks cool, there’s a seat at the table for you.Pour what you like, ask the questions, and leave the wine snobbery at the door. 🍷🤓📍 Follow Marshall: @westchesterwine

E100 Belle Glos 25th Anniversary pt 2 | Joe Wagner

100 episodes. 25 years of Belle Glos Pinot Noir. One incredible journey. For the first time in a long time, we're putting our own host, 5th-generation winemaker Joe Wagner, in the hot seat to tell the story behind one of the world's most iconic Pinot Noir brands.This is where Go With Your Palate—and Belle Glos—come full circle. 🎙️ Go With Your Palate: Joe Wagner | Celebrating 25 Years of Belle Glos Pinot NoirFor our official 100th episode, we're turning the tables and putting our very own host, 5th-generation winemaker Joe Wagner, in the hot seat to celebrate not one—but two incredible milestones. As Go With Your Palate reaches its century mark, Joe reflects on the 25-year journey of Belle Glos, the Pinot Noir brand that helped redefine American Pinot and, over the last quarter century, earned Joe the nickname many affectionately know him by: The King of Pinot.Long before Pinot Noir became one of the country's most celebrated varietals—before Sideways helped spark a nationwide obsession—Joe was one of the young guns betting on a grape he believed deserved its moment. He takes us back to those early days, sharing the risks, the lessons, and the unwavering belief that ultimately transformed Belle Glos, named in honor of his grandmother, into one of the world's most recognized Pinot Noir brands.As we celebrate our 100th episode, we're grateful to reflect on the roots of Go With Your Palate with you—back when it was just Joe and Fat Mario swapping stories over a glass of wine before this wild ride evolved into conversations with some of the most fascinating guests we've ever had. It felt only right that this milestone brings us back to where it all began.Of course, this is Go With Your Palate, so we don't just talk wine. We dive into the impact of Sideways, what makes Pinot Noir one of the most expressive (and misunderstood) grapes in the world, the evolution of California wine, and the passion that continues to drive Joe a quarter century after the first bottle of Belle Glos.Whether you're a lifelong cork dork, a Pinot lover, or simply enjoy hearing how iconic brands are built from conviction, family, and a willingness to bet on yourself, this is an episode worth raising a glass to.Here's to 100 episodes, 25 years of Belle Glos, and the stories that brought us here. Cheers. 🍷🥂 🍷 To everyone who's watched, listened, shared, subscribed, or simply believed in Go With Your Palate—thank you for helping us reach 100 episodes. This is just the beginning.

E99 Amy Ephron pt 2 | Joe Wagner

What if a novel set in 1939 suddenly felt surprisingly relevant today?Best-selling author Amy Ephron joins us to talk Hollywood, storytelling, family legacies, and why the best stories have a way of finding us exactly when we need them. This conversation is as thoughtful as it is unforgettable.🎙️ Go With Your Palate: Amy Ephron | Stories, Secrets & the Art of ReinventionThis week, we’re joined by Amy Ephron—best-selling author, novelist, screenwriter, journalist, and former Columbia Pictures executive whose remarkable career has taken her from publishing her first poem at just five years old to working alongside legendary filmmakers like Oliver Stone, and now to the release of her captivating new novel, Unseasonably Cold.Amy takes us inside a lifetime of storytelling—from growing up in one of America's most celebrated writing families to forging a creative voice entirely her own. We explore the inspiration behind Unseasonably Cold, a novel seven years in the making that unexpectedly feels strikingly relevant to the world we're living in today. It even sparked a fun conversation about whether Amy might have a little more foresight than she's letting on. Along the way, she shares incredible insights into writing, Hollywood, human nature, and why the best stories often reveal truths we didn't even know we were searching for.Of course, this is Go With Your Palate, so we happily wander off the page. We bond over Joe's Quilt wines (and Amy's own unforgettable quilt—you'll definitely want to hear the story behind that one), compare growing up in iconic family legacies—hers in storytelling, Joe's in winemaking—and swap thoughts on weather, creativity, and the surprising places inspiration likes to hide.It's thoughtful, funny, and full of the kind of conversation that reminds you why stories matter. Whether they're told through books, films, a bottle of wine, or around a dinner table, the best ones have a way of bringing us together.Grab a glass, settle in, and let Amy tell you a story. 🍷📖✨📍 Follow Amy: @amyephron📚 Discover her latest novel: Unseasonably Cold

We dive into dating psychology, compatibility, emotional intelligence, and the biggest mistakes both men and women make when searching for lasting relationships.
