Inside the Story of IHANA with Valtteri Bottas & Corrina Wright
Description
This week on The Wined Up Podcast, we sit down with Valtteri Bottas — Formula 1 driver, wine lover, gin maker, coffee roaster, off-road adventurer… and yes, calendar model.
We chat about how his partnership with Corrina Wright from Oliver’s Taranga led to the creation of IHANA. A wine that brings together Finnish spirit and McLaren Vale heart.
We delve into the topics of:
· What is the Valtteri Bottas wine journey?
· IHANA wine and what is it all about?
· The overlaps and comparisons of F1 and wine worlds
· Delve into the fascinating subject of mindset of 2 perfectionists at their own craft
· We have fun with Finnish and Australian culture
These interviews is what really fascinates me, the stories, the insights, the revelations, the deep thought and understanding of the people behind the wine.
