Wines with Wingspans

Wemby's World

On this episode of Wine & Dime, Chris and Lyndsay are back with some Spanish wine to discuss all things WNBA and NBA playoffs. They begin with the messy start in Dallas, the surprising (and once again kind of depressing) Chicago Sky, Portland's atmosphere being fire, and the impact of international scouting being apparent so far in teams like Phoenix and Toronto. They close the episode by declaring the Sixers frauds, attempting to figure out the path forward in Minnesota, recapping Spurs/Thunder and previewing Knicks/Cavaliers.  Wine Pairing: Ego Bodegas "El Goru" Jumilla 2022 (Spain) Follow us @wineandimepod on Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok

They finish the episode with some NBA playoff thoughts, including the Knicks beating up on Philly, and fraud watch in Houston and Cleveland.  Find Christan's work on Twitter and Instagram @christanwnba Wine Pairing: Henry of Pelham Old Vines Baco Noir Ontario VQA 2025 Follow us @wineanddimepod on Instagram, TikTok, and Twitter

The Seattle Storm are Big as Hell

Amateur GM Hours

A lot has happened since the gang last recorded, and with the WNBA Expansion Draft coming soon, Chris and Lyndsay cracked open some Sicilian wine and dug. They kick off the episode with amateur GM hours and do a mock expansion draft with Lyndsay picking for the Tempo and Chris for the Fire. They wrap up with a discussion about the next generation of NCAA WBB coaches and who is waiting to take the torch from Geno and Dawn (if anyone), the G League's strange playoff format, and an ode to the Round Mound of Rebound, Charles Barkley.  Wine Pairing: Cusumano Nero D'Avola Sicilia DOC (Sicily, Italy)  Follow on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and Twitter @wineanddimepod
