Show notes

Single-parenting gets an unknown twist when JT finds the new boyfriend moving in with his ex. But just how unknown is it when you've been divorced twice? Some parenting decisions require more than one bottle. So we bought two of the delicious 2015 Jeff Cohn Cellars Sweetwater Spring Petite Sirah.

Pairs With Field House Cabernet Sauvignon and The Relevance Of Monogamy Feb 22, 2019

Show notes

Field House Cabernet Sauvignon is luscious, and so is monogamy. Or is it? You've tried marriage, or perhaps a long-term relationship, and it didn't work out. So, is monogamy dead? Is monogamy a natural instinct or just a social construct? And why the hell are we so sober that we can actually use the term "social construct?"

For this episode, we break open a box of wine from Scout and Cellar, specialists in curated selections of clean wine (also called "natural wine" or "wine without fuckery"). A delicious 2017 Field House Mendocino Cabernet Sauvignon is our accompaniment to a discussion on the virtues of monogamy - or lack thereof - and whether the whole idea should be relegated to the scrap pile of history.

Clean wine, clean mind? Not in the least.

Pairs With Hall Cabernet and Talking To Kids About Sex Feb 04, 2019

Show notes

Drinking a smooth glass of Napa Cabernet is easy - talking to kids about sex is not. Talking to your 16-year-old about having sex in the house is especially weird. But we know this: it's a lot easier after that second glass. Or bottle. Opinions run the spectrum from "I'm locking my kid in the closet until she's 30" to "I trust my child and she can get all kinds of nasty in her own home." Do we have the answers? Of course, we do. All of them. That's why you listen.* Join us in the conversation about talking to your kids about sex here and on our Facebook page!

*We don't have any answers and you totally shouldn't listen to us.
