This week’s pairing? A delicious Napa Cab with aftershocks. The 2014 Matthiasson was rattled by an earthquake while in barrel, and it shook us into a chat about natural disasters, including the recent flood that impacted our neighborhood. Earthquake? Flood? Fire? We weigh the options like it’s a twisted fantasy draft and admit which calamity we’d actually prefer to weather – with a glass in hand, of course.

We are thrilled to chat with our latest guest, Lisa Lee, a wine entrepreneur in Myrtle Beach who took a vision of a high-end wine bar with unparalleled hospitality and made it a reality with The Tasting Room on 9th. Her story is inspiring, her personality energetic, and her desire to bring the best to the Arts & Innovation District of Myrtle Beach is heartwarming. Tune in to hear her nontraditional, yet exciting journey of opening a wine bar in a coastal community where most sipping is usually done with cocktails on the beach. Lisa chose a deliciously fresh Provençal rosé from Château Minuty to sip on – grab your own and listen in!

Pour a glass and buckle up – this week, we’re sipping wine and diving into the recent wave of plane accidents and mid-air incidents making headlines around the world. From collisions to mysterious technical failures, it seems like every week brings a new reason to clutch your armrest a little tighter.

Are these just isolated events, or is something bigger going on? Is commercial aviation still the safest way to travel, or are we overdue for a reckoning in the skies? Join us for a candid, slightly buzzed conversation on the state of air travel and what it all means for your next flight.

Cheers, turbulence, and a bottle of Giant Sky Sauvignon Blanc – this one’s got it all.

We’ve decided to stir things up a bit – literally and figuratively, asking each other the conversation starter questions we’ve collected from our PureWine Wands since Episode 87. Paired with these random questions, we drank Seriously Cool, a cinsault from South Africa. Listen to our off-the-cuff answers and think about how you would answer these questions!

Would it surprise you to learn that there’ve been some incredible wine heists – ranging from hundreds of thousands to over a million dollars worth of the liquid libation? Yours truly could not believe how seemingly common it is for these types of raids, let alone the frequency (hitting the same place twice?!) and lack of security when retail shops and restaurants alike boast some of the highest quality and priced wines in the world. In the glass, we travel to Italy’s boot, and feel like “the grape thieves” drinking this delicious and affordable wine.

Thinking back 20 years ago, we never thought we would already be in the era of electric and self-driving cars (Back to the Future, anyone?) As this technology is pushed to become more mainstream – we want to truly understand if they are for the better. Are they more environmentally-friendly and safer to us, the drivers? Or is there a sinister hand at play? Join us while we debate the future of vehicles while we sip on Sinister Hand Red Wine from Columbia Valley.
