  • Farewell Episode [NSW is now PINTA SCHOOL of WINE]
    Feb 8 2024

    We say farewell to NORMAL SCHOOL of WINE as we have relaunched our project, still and always dedicated to spreading WINE WISDOM FOR EVERYDAY LIFE...

    We say goodbye to Normal School of Wine, NRML Wine, and all of its affiliated "NRML" brands. Unfortunately, with that, we also must say farewell to NORMAL SCHOOL of WINE THE PODCAST.

    For Julie and I this has been a labor of love, our little baby, and a project that we have loved and nourished through three seasons. We thank you all for your continued support over the years!

    We hope you check us out in the future and visit us and see what we're doing in our new project  PINTA PRODUCTIONS and PINTA SCHOOL OF WINE
