Wine Access Unfiltered

Amanda McCrossin

Booking Overview

This is an interview-led wine show focused on wine regions, producers, restaurants, travel, and accessible wine education, typically featuring winemakers, sommeliers, educators, importers, and restaurant or wine-business founders. Agencies could credibly pitch wine-industry experts with regional authority, producer or hospitality experience, compelling travel and food perspectives, or a strong educational platform; booking difficulty is medium because the show favors relevant professionals and recognized specialists rather than celebrity guests.

We're digging into the friendly Porto-vs-Lisbon rivalry — Porto's grit and cobblestones read like New York, Lisbon's sprawl and beaches read more L.A. — then heads into the Douro Valley to make the case for its dry reds and mineral whites, not just port. There's also a...
