  • QUAIL OAK
    Feb 17 2022

    This week we'll be trying the very accessible Quail Oak Chardonnay! Typically retailing for around $4, this #California white has been called "unpretentious" with notes of butter and peach. Will this be another example of a low cost, high Quail-ity wine? Or is this one for the birds? Listen to tomorrow's episode to find out!

  • BETWEEN US
    Jan 27 2022

    ORANGE. The color of sunsets, fruit, and maybe the color of this wine? That's up for debate. Nina and Gaby try this Field Blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Blanc. Between Us is from LA based Coly Den Haan and Angelica Luna, in collaboration with winemaker Rosanna Stefano on the border of Collio and Friuli in Italy.

  • BAKARI
    Jan 20 2022

    We've got some good news... That's right, it's time to open a new bottle of bubbly with Gaby and Nina! No, put down the champagne cause this week we're popping the cork on our first Pét-Nat. What's that? It's short for “pétillant naturel" - a French term meaning “naturally sparkling.” Think a sparkling wine meets a crisp beer: extremly refreshing... and just a little funky. Made from organic Cortese grapes farmed in Italy, could this fresh Bakari Confondo be your new fave?
