Charlottesville Living - Neighbor Met in Richmond

Charlottesville Living: Wine, Wit, and a New Friend

This week on Charlottesville Living, host Eddie K uncorks a story that blends serendipity, neighborly charm, and a little fermented magic. While browsing a wine shop in Richmond, Eddie struck up a conversation with a fellow enthusiast—only to discover they were practically neighbors back in Charlottesville. That wine-fueled chat turned into a podcast invite, and now, Freddie joins the show as this week’s special guest.

Freddie isn’t just a wine lover—he’s an independent winemaker, a self-described online nerd, and a University of Virginia staffer by day. In this episode, he pulls back the curtain on the highs and headaches of crafting small-batch wine, the rabbit holes of fermentation forums, and what it’s like to juggle academia with viticulture.

Whether you're a fan of backyard vines or just enjoy a good pour with a better story, this episode has flavor. From grape-to-glass tales to neighborly coincidences, it’s a true vintage of local connection.
