A wine game show wrapped in a talk show wrapped in a podcast….about wine!
What We Do:
Hosted by Chaad Thomas, Matt Kuhr, and Kristie Brablec, TRWS is recorded in the heart of Ann Arbor and has become a staple for wine enthusiasts and industry pros alike who are tired of the same old "tasting notes" and want something more visceral and insightful.
We strip away the pretension of the wine world and replace it with high-stakes blind tastings, industry news, and "Real vs. Fake" storytelling. Whether we’re hosting local legends or global winemakers, we’re here to prove that wine is best served with a side of competition and a lot of laughs.
