Hey, I'm Jim Duane. Welcome to Inside Winemaking, the interview-style podcast I created that I wish had existed back when I was not able to take enology classes and was struggling to find ways to learn practical winemaking.

I learn best on my feet and from talking to other people.

Inside Winemaking started with just the podcast in 2014 and has since grown to offer in-person winemaking classes, group trips to wine regions in Europe, and the Winemakers Club, a virtual winemaking member site.

You can read more about my background if you're at work killing time.

I use the podcast to leverage winemakers to spend an hour discussing their experience and practices for growing grapes and making wine. All the podcast episodes are available here on the website and all the usual podcast apps and players, including iTunes. Each episode also has a webpage of show notes with links to items discussed during that podcast.

I teach winemaking classes in Napa throughout the year. Each August I organize Deep Winemaking, which is a three-day “winemaking camp” where I take a group of 8 all around Napa visiting vineyards, wineries, and host tastings and a technical seminar.
