Tired of guessing which wine to buy? We were too. That’s why Colin, Joel, and Aaron set out to make a wine podcast that actually helps you drink better wine. Each episode features an honest wine review, a bit of wine education, and plenty of laughs along the way. We keep things casual, skip the snobbery (except for Colin's occasional wine nerd moment), and focus on what really matters: finding wines worth your time and money. Whether you're new to wine or just looking for a more approachable way in, you’re in good company here. Pour a glass and join the conversation!
