Wine is one of the most fascinating subjects in the world. Science, culture, history, people – all in a glass. I’m here to translate it for you!

For too long, wine education has lived behind intimidating language, gatekeeping and a culture that made people feel like outsiders. 

That’s exactly why I built Unpolished Grape!

I’m Kiana Keys – DipWSET, wine educator, and your wine translator.  I spent years studying wine at the highest levels so I could do one thing: make wine make sense for the average person. Like you.

This isn’t a site that talks down to you, it’s a site that brings you in.

Here, you will find hundreds of lessons covering everything from grapes and regions to flavor, structure, science and culture – all written in plain English.

Welcome to Unpolished Grape!
