Grenache and Gratefulness

Happy Holiday Season! Tonight Scarlett is sipping on some yummy wine and sharing her take on why we should all practice gratefulness, and the research backs her up on this one so don't roll your eyes! Learn about how having a daily gratitude practice can actually help improve your life, and why grenache wine is so good for a wintery night.

Rose and Red Flags, Part 1

There's a new winery on the block and today we sit down with the tasting room lead from Tekstura Wine Co to talk about rose, red flags, and continue the debate of which X-men is which wine.   What's a red flag? A sign to run from a relationship, be it romantic, occupational, or based in friendship. There are a thousand red flags out there and we only had time to get to a few, and those were just in the relationship category, so watch for part 2 coming soon!

Spooky, Scary, Anxiety!

We are deep into spooky season so it's only fitting that we talk about something scary; anxiety! More specifically, this episode is a deep dive into a listener question about the connection between alcohol and anxiety, and why alcohol causes some people anxiety. Tune in to also hear Scarlett's new head cannon: Pinot Noir is the X-Men of wines because of all the lovely mutations that come from it! We are getting a little more serious in this episode, but still keeping the jokes, references, and general nerd levels as high as always. Cheers gang!

Smartly Storing Wine and Setting SMART Goals

Today (ok it was a while ago, life got busy) Ethan and I sat down to discuss how to be smart about storing your wine and SMART about setting goals! Tune in for a debate about if mid-September is too early for Halloween decorations, hot takes about NOT storing your wine in a skunk infested crawl spaces, and why setting the goal of running a marathon only makes sense under specific circumstances. We are here for your wine questions, here for your life questions, and as always drinking some yummy Oregon wine, cheers all!

Deciphering Labels and Destroying Stigma

Today I am joined by one of my regular partners-in-wine, Ava Rose! We are discussing how to read the label on a wine bottle (well, for American wines at least) so you can gather information about what is in a given bottle and continue to gather data about what kinds of varietals, areas, and styles you like in your wine. Then, Ava and I jump into a discussion about how common struggling with your mental health is, and remind you that just like any other injury or illness; mental illness deserves care, compassion, and healing.
