Welcome to Season 1 of the Wines We Drink podcast, our summer project aimed at helping you, our listerners, expand your wine horizons as we explore a different bottle each week. We have planned a "case" of 12 episodes for summer 2021 beginning June 2 and ending August 18 when we return to the classroom to resume our teaching.
