Karakterre Podcast with: Jamie Goode

Few people have shaped the way we talk about wine like Jamie Goode. A scientist turned storyteller, Jamie blends curiosity, clarity, and a sharp eye for what matters—both in the glass and in the vineyard.⁠

In this conversation with Karakterre’s Aleks Zecevic, he reflects on the evolution of Austrian, Central, and Eastern European wine, the fine line between dogma and progress, and why the most exciting wines today are often the most honest.⁠

“You have 90 producers today, 90 producers tomorrow, and a waiting list of 50. This is insane. This is a small producing country, or countries, because we’re not just Austria here, we’ve got neighbors here as well. This is showing you that there is something that is gaining momentum or traction,” says Goode.

The full interview touches on climate, wine criticism, and how and why Central-Eastern Europe makes some of the most interesting wines today.⁠
