Join Us For Fun Conversations About The Wines We Drink

We drink and discuss a specific bottle of wine each episode.
We explore the story behind the bottle, including the winery and its locale.
We explain why it's a wine we drink, delving into its flavors, body and finish.
We encourage our listeners to be adventourous in their quests for wines to enjoy.
