We thought we would kick the New Year off with a very special treat. One that we were thrilled to experience personally, and to be able to bring to you – the distinct honor of interviewing the Queen and Godmother of Wine herself, Karen MacNeil, on her newly released third edition of the Wine Bible. Grab a drink and listen in!

We finally did it!! We are so excited to bring you the first of what we hope to be a series of blind tastings. We both chose a wine for the other to blind taste, and were having a total blast not only guessing what each other chose, but putting our palates to the test. Listen in as we guess our way through wine – of course in our own DBP way!

4 years?! Time sure does fly when you are having fun…especially while drinking wine! This episode we break out the wines we picked up on our inaugural DBP visit to Sonoma at a charming winery in Carneros. We both chose the same wine, but different vintages in anticipation of popping them for a special occasion. Listen in as we celebrate our DBPversary, and reflect while enjoying two beauties from the same vineyard! Sip along, because it’s a celebration, bitches!

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!

2020 was definitely one for the books, with pretty much everyone ready to slam the door on the year and start fresh with a new one. Since we didn’t think everyone wanted to relive the dark incidents that will brand 2020 for years to come, we decided to dedicate this episode to highlighting some of the more uplifting events of the year and share some of our personal triumphs and accomplishments. Pour yourself something fabulous to toast as we ring in the New Year and say BUH-BYE to 2020!

What a crazy year 2020 has been?! So bizarre, in fact, that many of you may have missed the release of the documentary, The Phenomenon, and the long-awaited admission of the government’s cover-up of UFOs. Well, no fear – your DBP girls are here to fill you in! We discuss key aspects of the film, including the veracity of the documented UFO sightings, the declassification of government intelligence, and if our extraterrestrial friends are actually trying to tell us something. Are there hidden messages in their visits to our planet? Perfectly paired with this out-of-this-world episode is the Napa red blend, Galaxy, and trust us when we say you’ll def want to have a drink in hand for this one!
