The Halloween Special: The Four Best Goth Wines and the Songs That Pair With Them Oct 29, 2020

Show notes

Dim the lights, don the leather and pour the wine! For our first Halloween show, I'm joined by special guest Ellen Clifford of The Wine Situation - perhaps the world's only Goth Wine Podcast - to talk about the Top Four Best Goth Wines and the songs that pair with them. So, what goth wines will it be? The Cure with Apothic Red? All I can tell you is that there won't be any Rosés. Unless they're Blood Roses...

Pairs With Double Standards For Male Wine Influencers: The Men Tell All Oct 21, 2020

Show notes

Following an insightful and sometimes controversial discussion with six women wine influencers (I know, I know, they hate being called that) about double standards on social media, it's time to turn to male wine influencers and hear what they have to say. And this wasn't an easy task. Of the 20 male wine influencers I contacted in total, only 4 agreed to be on the podcast. But what they have to say is as broad in scope and perhaps as controversial as what the women had to say. Are there double standards? If so, who created them? And does the pressure to sexualize posts for Likes and Follows come from within or without?

Pairs With A Return To The BevMo Five Cent Sale Oct 14, 2020

Show notes

A year and a half ago, Christine and I merrily ventured to our local BevMo for the annual wine-purchasing Bacchanalia that is the "Five Cent Sale." Last week, with similar excitement, I journeyed back to BevMo to reap my haul of amazing wine bargains. Instead, I faced the same disappointment as a 10-year-old girl opening a dead puppy for Christmas. Why? What's gone wrong? Have I just become a cynical wine snob, or are there bigger issues at play here?

Pairs With Val d’Oca Prosecco & Double Standards for Wine Influencers Oct 07, 2020

Show notes

Are female wine influencers subject to a double standard? Is there pressure on women to create suggestive and provocative social media content in order to generate more Likes, Follows, and comments? Do we, as an audience of wine lovers and appreciators, willingly create an environment that rewards sexualized posts over informational posts? With no less than four bottles of Val d'Oca Prosecco in hand, I talk to six women wine influencers who've had tremendous success on Instagram about their personal experiences with online sexism: is the pressure real, is it internal or external, and does it affect how they create content?

Pairs With A Trip To Clarksburg, Part 2: The Julietta Winery Sep 30, 2020

Show notes

In the second part of my trip to Clarksburg, Maria Ramirez (@Uncorked_Notes) and I explore the Julietta Winery, a gorgeous property on the edge of the Clarksburg AVA. Tastings in hand, we take stock of our trip as well as a little personal inventory. Unfortunately, my inventory consisted of a Blanket of Existential Dread, while Maria's contained a small Comfort Zone. What does it take to shed that blanket and to exit that zone? About ten wine tastings at the Julietta Winery, or is it something more?

Pairs With A Trip To Clarksburg, Part 1: Clarksburg Chenin Blanc Sep 24, 2020

Show notes

With existential dread creeping up on me like an internet stalker, a nice trip to wine country seemed just like the ticket to clear my head and refresh my soul. With area expert and wine influencer Maria Ramirez (@uncorked_notes) as my guide, I spent the day visiting Heringer Estates, the Clarksburg Wine Company, and Julietta Winery, sampling all kinds of amazing Clarksburg Chenin Blanc and learning all about this small but thriving AVA just south of Sacramento, CA. But no cure to existential dread comes without a few side effects: like the constant questioning of why we do what we do. And when that question turns to sexism in the world of social media influencers, it just may be that another bottle of Clarksburg Chenin Blanc will need to be uncorked.

Pairs With Mer Soleil Silver Chardonnay and My Cat’s Interview Of Me Sep 04, 2020

Show notes

With the release of my debut novel, Pairs With Life, just around the corner, my publisher requested that put down the Mer Soleil Chardonnay long enough to do an interview on my podcast. The problem is, I'm not exactly famous yet, so it's not like Edward R. Murrow is willing to rise from the grave and give me an interview. (And if he did, it'd be pretty gross and terrifying anyway). So, with no one else to turn to, I got my cat, Jazzy, to involuntarily volunteer to interview me about my book's release. Through the miracle of Google Translate - and a glass or three of Mer Soleil Silver 2017 Monterey County Unoaked Chardonnay - Jazzy suppresses 300 million years of feline predatory evolution to talk about the motivation behind my book.

Pairs With Le Grand Courtage and “Going” Back To School Aug 25, 2020

Show notes

With a glass of Le Grand Courtage sparkling wine in hand, we toast our kids returning to school. But they're not really "returning," are they? Not with a global pandemic going on. The challenges that parents and teachers face with Remote Learning are at once unknown and a bit scary, and having to follow up a summer of lockdown with autumn of the same, it may seem like we're all experiencing a malady that's all too well known in the wine world...

If you enjoy Le Grand Courtage sparkling wine, you're going to love the sparkler you find on The wine Spies. Get all the amazing wines we drink on the podcast for up to 70% off retail price! Sign up for daily, no-obligation offers from The Wine Spies. Click here to sign up.

Pairs With A Trip To The Whole Foods Wine Section Aug 18, 2020

Show notes

Not just a Meat Market for the Meatless Set, the Whole Foods wine section is consistently one of the best of any major retailer. This week, I take a trip to my local Whole Foods. With my 401(k) in hand, I find the best values you can among their wine shelves. And after finding - and drinking - the Top Four wines from their Imports section, some thoughts and feelings about Jeff Bezos come to the fore. And maybe a soapbox (or two) comes out...
