Hollywood has a huge influence on the American public, and the 2004 movie, Sideways, has been widely attributed to Merlot’s drop in popularity. This episode we discuss how the nation’s “Merlot mania” quickly turned into “Merlot malaise.” Sideways may have been the thorn in Merlot’s side, however other lesser known factors in the wine world played into Merlot’s downfall. Join us as we discuss the movie, the ironic twist at the end, and the mystery of Merlot as it makes a comeback. Should you drink it or listen to Miles and not drink any “f***ing Merlot!”? Not sure? Grab a bottle of Thorn Merlot by The Prisoner Wine Company and try some with us! #MerlotMe

What motivates you through life and why do we do the things we do? Do you only do things for the rewards (or to avoid negative consequences)? Is there anything you do just for the fun of it anymore? In this episode, we talk about the difference between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation and what role each plays in our lives – from childhood to adulthood. Touching on some of our earlier motivations – playing piano, dusting stairs, and working at a job that wasn’t entirely rewarding, we dive into this topic with the 2016 INTRINSIC Cabernet Sauvignon from Washington.

Wanting to delve into the topic of the millennial generation, we couldn’t have asked for a better wine match for Episode 3’s topic! Beaujolais is a French grape that has a unique production called Beaujolais Nouveau – the first harvest. In this episode, we compare millennials to the young, Beaujolais Nouveau and the sub-group “xennials” to the longer-aged, more mature version of the varietal. Popping open the 2015 Beaujolais-Village from Georges DuBoeuf, we find a wine-themed amusement park (yes, it exists!), find out if we are true “xennials,” and dispute the pros and cons of the millenial generation.
