Open the Good Bottle.
A case for celebrating ordinary Tuesdays.
Wine is a lens through which we see the world.
Through stories of people, places, culture, history, and the bottles that bring them together.
Wine Pros On the Go is a podcast for anyone who loves great stories, meaningful experiences, and wants to feel more confident about wine.
Hosted by Certified Sommelier, wine educator, and storyteller Lauren Crim, the show blends wine, travel, culture, humor, and conversation to explore the people, places, and experiences behind every sip. Lauren is passionate about making wine approachable, transforming technical wine concepts into engaging, relatable stories that are easy to understand and impossible to forget.
Known for her signature blend of education and "Sommedy" (sommelier + comedy), Lauren delivers practical wine knowledge with wit, curiosity, and a refreshingly human perspective. Whether she's exploring a grape variety, interviewing industry leaders, or uncovering the history of a wine region, her goal is simple: make wine less intimidating, more memorable, and a lot more fun.
Because great wine isn't just what's in the glass—it's the people, places, stories, and experiences that turn moments into memories.
Wine Pros on the Go is produced in Atlanta, GA.
