Corked and Confused # 2 - The Bronze Incident (Extras)

Charles unveils WineSoul's tiering system—Lead, Steel, Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum—and we cross the Rubicon on what it really means to become Certified Bronze.

Along the way, we meet the anonymous rich guy for the first time—a recurring character from this point on—drop a tease about a church bell that will come back later, and discover that ranking wines is somehow even more dangerous than blind tasting them.

You'll find these kinds of extra conversations—and plenty more—on the Cork Dork tier on Patreon.

About the Podcast

WineSoul Podcast
Wine Soul is a podcast where two lifelong friends explore wine, stories, and nostalgia with geeky curiosity, zero snobbery, and plenty of laughs.
Wine Soul is a podcast about two childhood friends who became adults—in theory.

Now dads and quintessential millennials, they're still as geeky, passionate, and ridiculous as they were as teenagers. The only difference is they're now bourgeois enough to obsess over wine with the same unhealthy confidence they once brought to arguments about things that never mattered.

They explore wine, history, nostalgia, and travel through thirty years of friendship, relentless curiosity, and a generous amount of humour.

Wine Soul is good wine, the occasional moment of substance, and a lot of laughs—brought to you by two old friends who never take themselves too seriously.

Their taste matured. They didn't.
