Inside Pour: After Hours

Swan Boats & Grüner Veltliner | Ep4

This week we’re talking about Kristy’s trip to Austria with the Left Foot Charley [https://www.leftfootcharley.com/] wine club and…it may have been the best trip ever. Once the childcare logistics, emotional spiraling, packing chaos, work prep, and household survival plans were complete, Austria delivered. Incredible wine, breathtaking vineyards, amazing people, endless Grüner (and a bit of Absinthe!), beautiful meals, and the kind of travel moments that remind you why getting out of your routine matters so much, like padding around on a swan boat in Austria instead of answering 47 texts about the carpool plan changes. We’re talking Austrian wine culture, group travel stories, mom guilt, travel chaos, and the emotional whiplash of going from “someone needs poster board tomorrow” to drinking wine in vineyards halfway across the world. Also discussed: how moms prepare to leave town like they’re deploying overseas and why re-entering real life should come with a recovery period. Featured Two Wines: Weingut Christ [https://shop.weingut-christ.at/en] | Bisamberg Wiener Gemischter Satz DAC A ripe Viennese Classic, a unicum, which could not be more distinctive. Maturity and minerality combined in one wine. Sorry, you may have to go to Austria to get this one... Left Foot Charley: 2023 Blaufränkisch [https://www.leftfootcharley.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/2023-OMP-Blaufrankisch.pdf], a polished expression of a naturally rustic grape, balancing refinement with untamed character. Like cleaning up a rock star, you can smooth the edges, but the wild soul is always still there underneath.

SLO Coastin' | Ep3

In this episode we get into the ⁠⁠SLO Coast AVA⁠⁠ [https://slocoastwine.com/news/san-luis-obispo-coast-ava-whats-in-a-name/] in California and an absolutely killer tasting with ⁠⁠Rajat Parr⁠⁠ [https://www.parrwines.com/rajat-parr] at Phelan Farm, plus wines from Mikey Giugni of ⁠⁠Scar of the Sea⁠⁠ [https://www.scaroftheseawines.com/] and ⁠⁠Lady of the Sunshine⁠⁠ [https://www.ladyofthesunshinewines.com/]. We also somehow cover rivers turning into lakes, trips to the dump, personality types that probably should be studied, the very specific energy of a two year old on his birthday, and why getting older is making us more bad ass.

Double Dutch & Culvers | Ep2

During this episode we’re pairing aged Burgundy with Culver’s (yes, really), getting into the ultimate party trick that is Double Dutch, and talking about how music and wine connect people across generations and cultures. We also get into the whole Gen Z vs Millennial conversation and why we’re not buying into all the doom and gloom around the wine industry right now. Sparkling wine is for everyone and we’re popping bottles. Featured wine: NV Prosecco Superiore Brut Sommariva, imported by Kermit Lynch

Full Send From Day One | Ep1

This is our first episode and we’re just going for it. We talk about how we met nearly 25 years ago, how that turned into running multiple businesses together, raising families, and somehow still being the ones saying yes to everything. You’ll get a feel for how we actually work together day to day, what makes it work, and why “full send and figure it out later” has become a bit of a theme for us. It’s a little chaotic, a lot of fun, and pretty much exactly what you can expect from us going forward. We hope you enjoy it!
