The Difference Between Knowing Wine and Making Wine w/ Katie Truscott of 1 Mill Road Air Date: Wednesday, February 11th, 2026 Wine school can teach you the theory, but it cannot teach you what actually happens once the grapes hit the cellar.
Today on the podcast I have Katie Truscott from 1 Mill Road Winery in the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia, Canada back on the podcast. She talks about the shift from studying wine to making it, and what changes once that knowledge has to be put into practice. From learning cellar basics the hard way to realizing how much of winemaking is practical rather than academic, Katie dives into the steep learning curve behind the scenes of making wine at a small winery Katie also digs into winemaking philosophy, from honoring the vineyard and responding to the growing season to staying hands off in the cellar whenever possible. Sustainability, patience, and refinement over growth all come into focus as part of a long term vision rooted in place rather than production volume. So if you’ve ever wondered how wine goes from something you study to something you trust your hands and instincts to create, this episode offers a behind the scenes look at what really makes great wine. Don’t miss part 1 of my conversation with Katie where we chat about what makes Okanagan Valley wine so different!
