Pour. Learn. & Repeat w/ Nita Bardolia🍷

If you’ve ever walked into a wine shop and pretended you knew what you were looking at… this episode is for you. 🍷 On I Hope This Helps, we sit down with Nita Bardolia — General Manager of 56 Degree Wine and founder of Glass Half Full — and her journey is proof that following curiosity can change your life. From Rutgers economics to advertising to becoming a private chef, she turned a passion for food and flavor into leading one of New Jersey’s most respected wine shops. We break down how wine pairings actually work, why Portuguese wines deserve more respect, the truth about small producers vs mass-produced labels, the RIGHT way to store wine (and why 56° matters), and yes… why putting ice in red wine hurts a little (but there’s a better move). This isn’t wine snob talk — it’s real, practical knowledge that makes you more confident the next time you order or shop.

Pour a glass, press play, and level up your wine game. 🍷🎧
