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.

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.

These wines remind us of how we dress this time of year: a light layer, nothing too heavy, while we say bye-bye to darker colors and hello to brighter ones!

Itching for adventure but maybe getting on a plane is not feeling like the right move these days? A good ol’ campfire might be just what you need, and what better time to grab a backpack, hit the road, and find a secluded outdoor place to hang for awhile (or maybe just one night for some of us)! This episode, we explore the different ways you can camp out – or even glamp out – and get ideas for our next outdoor expedition. ‘Tis the season for tents, s’mores, and being one with nature – just don’t forget to add wine!

Grab a glass and listen in…a storm is coming!
