We think an executive order that says the official drink of fermented grape juice is wine is warranted at this point.

In our latest episode, we investigate whether Trader Joe’s Reserve wines deliver actual value—or just a cleverly marketed price tag. Listen before you go to TJ’s! thewinepairpodcast.com/episode/just... Love radically.

Love wine? Then you should care about immigration policies. Without immigrant labor, vineyard work doesn’t get done.

“The Church of England has ruled that alcohol-free wine cannot be used in Holy Communion, as it would violate ecclesiastical law.” In the Catholic church, this is not the case as the wine has to be fermented, but alcohol-free wines remove alcohol after fermentation. www.decanter.com/wine-news/ch...

The U.S. wine industry runs on immigrant labor. In Napa, 73% of vineyard workers are immigrants—many undocumented. If mass deportations happen, who’s picking the grapes?

Do you cellar any of your wines or not? Are you patient enough to do so, or are you into more instant gratification? Or do you feel like aging wines is BS?

Italy’s best-kept sparkling secret? It’s not Prosecco. It’s Franciacorta! Wait, you’ve never heard of it?!? thewinepairpodcast.com/episode/sorr... Love radically

It has always been strange to me that New York does not allow wine sales in grocery stores. I am sure there are strong feelings on both sides, especially how this will impact small wine shops www.news10.com/news/ny-news...

We just released our latest episode, and it’s about why Franciacorta is the Italian sparkling wine you need to know. thewinepairpodcast.com/episode/sorr...

Think Cabernet Franc meets Syrah meets Pinot Noir, with deep dark fruit, spice, and a hint of gunsmoke. That’s Blaufränkisch. If you are looking for a new red wine to try, this might be your next bottle 🍷 thewinepairpodcast.com/episode/wtf-...

Wondering who makes Costco wines? More and more winemakers have been happy to put their name on Kirkland Signature bottles, but it is interesting to see where they are sourced. www.chowhound.com/1741553/who-... BTW, here is one of our recent Costco reviews: thewinepairpodcast.com/episode/cost...

Be honest: Have you ever heard of Blaufränkisch? 🤔 🇦) Of course, love it. 🇧) Heard of it, never tried it. 🇨) Blau-what-now?

Screw caps on wine bottles should be used much more frequently. Both wines we reviewed this week had them, and it is just much easier to deal with. Do you agree?

WTF is Blaufränkisch? And why don’t more people talk about it? We think this underrated red deserves some attention. Fruity, spicy, and surprisingly good—find out what makes it special in our latest episode. thewinepairpodcast.com/episode/wtf-...

We kind of think wine in a can is brilliant. Small, easy to carry, easy to open. And, each can is half a bottle! Thoughts?!?

Müller-Thurgau offers fresh citrus, green apple, and light floral aromas—perfect for fans of aromatic whites. If you like crisp wines with depth, this one could be for you!

Wine clubs are generally scams - like Scout & Cellar. Have you ever had a good experience with one?

A bit of wine trivia for the day: Müller-Thurgau was thought to have been created by crossing of Riesling and Silvaner - but DNA testing showed it is actually a cross of Riesling and Madeleine Royale. thewinepairpodcast.com/episode/arom...

Have you ever tried Müller-Thurgau? We’re diving into this aromatic dry white in our latest episode, and we’d love to hear your thoughts. Do you gravitate toward it, or are you more of a Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio drinker? thewinepairpodcast.com/episode/arom...
