What to DrinkWhat to Drink When it's #CharcWeek: Oberon Napa Cabernet & Charcuterie#CharcWeek, a weeklong celebration of Charcuterie and great wine, is upon us - can you believe it?!
This week legendary winemaker Tony Coltrin of Oberon wines helps us build the perfect Charcuterie Board to pair with his iconic Oberon Napa Cabernet. Tony recently celebrated his 50th vintage and worked for the likes of Robert Mondavi & the Mondavi family. His "old school" style of Napa Cabernet is all about balance (and usually less ABV) which makes for a versatile wine to pair anything during #CharcWeek.

What to DrinkWhat to Drink in a Bubble Bath: Raeburn Sonoma ChardonnayThis week wine industry legend Derek Benham joins us with his Director of Winemaking for Purple Brands, Steven Urberg, to discuss why Raeburn Sonoma Chardonnay is *the* perfect pairing for your next bubble bath!
Why it works:
This is a bright Chardonnay with great acidity and a smidge of creaminess that will titillate the senses, even with multiple bath bombs going off!
Pair this Chardonnay with Dungeness Crab or Swordfish.

What to DrinkWhat to Drink When You're Not Drinking: Lyre's Non-Alcoholic SpiritsThis week we tackle What to Drink when you're not drinking! Whether it be Dry January, March Sadness, or Sober 'Tober, a reset is nice every once in a while. Avoid the "Empty Hand" syndrome at parties with Lyre's Non-Alcoholic Spirits. These libations are meant to sub in for all the classics (Gin, Whiskey, Rum, Liqueurs, etc.) so that you can become an amateur mocktail-mixologist (Mock-tologist?) at home OR ask your bartender to "make it a Lyre's." Nick Crutchfield, Lyre's Global Head of Education, gives us the skinny on this line of Spirits and RTD's (Ready-to-Drinks).

Enduring InterestMarc Conner and Lucas Morel on Ralph Ellison’s “The Little Man at Chehaw Station” and “What America Would be Like Without Blacks”Ralph Ellison wrote one of the greatest novels of the twentieth century, Invisible Man. He was also a gifted essayist and in this episode we discuss two essays in particular: “The Little Man at Chehaw Station” and “What America Would be Like Without Blacks.” The former was first published in The American Scholar in the Winter 1977/78 issue. In my view it’s one of the finest meditations on American identity ever written. That latter first appeared in Time magazine in April of 1970. They both appeared in a collection called Going to the Territory in 1986 and can also be found in The Collec...2022-09-061h 12
