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!

We finally did it! Not only are we doing a vertical tasting this episode – trying 4 bottles of the same wine, each a different vintage – but, we are also breaking out our Coravin! Join us for this special wine experience, as we drink through Silverado Zinfandel from Napa Valley.

All poured! Left to right: 2013, 2015, 2016, and 2017 Silverado Vineyards’ Soda Creek Ranch Zinfandel. Thanks to our nifty Coravin (this podcast is not sponsored), we were able to drink straight through without having to open all four bottles!

Spring ahead, fall back…it’s the saying we hear twice a year that drives us mad! Whose idea was it to institute daylight savings time? Does everybody recognize it? And why, oh why, do we still have it? We break down the arguments for and against this widespread practice while ‘Day’ drinking, if you catch our drift. Grab a glass to listen or help you adjust to the changing clocks!

Bet you didn’t think there was a wine out there called Furmint, but in fact, there is! You’d probably also be surprised to hear it is from one of the only countries that has its own oak too – Hungary! Not only does Hungary sit on the same latitude as the infamous Burgundy, but it produces a wine that was once called “the wine of kings and the king of wines.” Pour yourself something fit for a king and explore Hungry for Hungary with us!

The only way a great wine can get better is with an inspiring story to back it. With a philosophy of winemaking that transcends decades of war, a wine legend is born. In this episode, we explore the story of the Lebanese winery, Château Musar, and the man behind it all – Serge Hochar. Serge continued to pursue quality, organic winemaking throughout a 20 year civil war and only lost 2 vintages. With a delicious wine and a remarkable history – Serge and his legacy leave us awe-struck! Find a bottle of Musar Jeune (or, if you’re really ambitious, the elevated Château Musar) red blend and drink though this life-altering story with us! All Hail the Almighty Château Musar!

What is DBP’s utopia? Wine Country! Though we love it, we know that planning a trip to wine country can seem overwhelming. In this episode, we recount stories and share recommendations from our trips to Willamette Valley, Oregon, and Napa Valley, California – like how to avoid getting too tipsy, how to select your wineries, and how to cut costs – so you can experience wine country like a DBPer, too.

New to Slovenian wine? Us, too! So listen into this episode to learn what you’ve been missing out on!
