Episode 3: Stephanie and the Devil’s Wine (aka Pét-Nat)

This episode continues 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. Episode 3 is all about Stephanie and her love of pét-nat—naturally sparkling wines made using the ancient ancestral method and once known as the devil’s wine.

We talk about what makes pét-nat so appealing (and a little chaotic), from low-intervention winemaking and fruity, fizzy flavors to why it’s often compared to kombucha or cider. Along the way, Stephanie shares personal stories—including a very adventurous bungee jumping date—walks us through what would be on her ideal charcuterie board, vents about zipper merging, and joins in a round of spin the bottle (not like what you’re thinking).

Pour something bubbly and hang out with us for a fun, approachable conversation that blends wine education, personal stories, and the kind of chat that only happens when friends sit down together with a bottle that likes to do its own thing.
