Wine & Dip...or the Need To Expose the Deep Diversity of Wine Media

I didn’t know just how important it would be to have access to an expert in wine and dips…until I came across Stephanie Cameron and her fantastic Substack, Wine & Dip. I know. Wine and dip! But hear me out. Ms. Cameron, a vivacious and compelling Somm located up in Canada, is proof that AI can never replace the ingenuity of passionate humans and also that the realm of wine communications is safe and sound in the hands of the younger generation.

First, let me get to the good stuff…

Honey Butter Hot Corn Dip & Sparkling Riesling
Miso Carmelized Leek Brie Dip & Dry Furmint
Pulled Pork Dip & Blaufränkisch
Hot Pesto Crab Dip & Picpoul de Pinet
Smoked Steak and Cheese Dip & Zinfandel

And this is just the tip of the dips and pairings. Ms. Cameron must be the foremost expert in the art of dip creation and, certainly, in the pairing of wine and dips.

I came across my new favorite Substacker when I was doing my routine search of the writing platform for new and interesting wine-related content. There’s some pretty niche wine publishing going on at Substack. It is very reminiscent of the explosion of blogging (including wine blogging) that occurred in the decade of the 00s. Today on Substack, you can find wine-related content as wildly diverse as Cameron’s deep dive into dips and wine to Paul Gregutt’s comprehensive reporting on Northwest wines. Substack has become a smorgasbord of wine content.
