In this week’s episode, Lindsay opens the storybook and tells an often forgotten unsettling fairytale: Bluebeard. As the Quail Oak is poured, the ladies open doors they shouldn’t, gush over colorful beards, and recount their favorite Taylor Swift music videos. So grab a yearless sauvignon blanc and try to find the moral of this twisted tale. Ladies Who Dye Their Beards will ensure you never ignore the ick again.
