Wine Interview: Ashwin Muthiah of unPINNED Wine Club | The Other 10,000 Grapes

This week we’re joined by our friend Ashwin Muthiah from the unPINNED Wine Course and the newly launched unPINNED Wine Club. We talk about why wine education can feel too rigid, how rating systems miss the mark, and why genuine joy is key to building trust and community in today’s wine world.

Ashwin also shares what inspired him to start the wine club and his passion for exploring the other 10,000 wine grapes beyond the usual suspects. We also review one of the club’s selections , Gavals Posta, which is super coo white blend from Santorini in Greece.

So grab a glass of your favorite Greek white wine and join us as we catch up with an old friend and talk about new grapes!
