This episode kicks off 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. First up is Chelsea. We talk Texas roots, a first date that involved going to the middle of nowhere with a stranger, add in a white wine tasting and competition for good measure, and discover that she and Brit share a very real love of knitting…which means the knitting talk absolutely happens (you’ve been warned).

Along the way, we introduce the five core traits of wine and use them as a simple framework to better understand Chelsea’s wine preferences and tasting notes. Stephanie, Shannon, and Brit each bring a white wine to the table in an attempt to be Chelsea’s pick by the end of the episode. There are opinions, there is confusion, and one wine very clearly wins Chelsea over—but you’ll have to listen to find out which.

Pour a glass and hang out with us for a fun, approachable wine conversation that blends wine education, personal stories, and the kind of chat that only happens when friends sit down together with something good to drink.
