Wine Two Five Podcast

Opening up the mind & opening up the pink … without opening up the wallet too wide. Let your wine shop experts help you select wines in your price range & out of your normal comfort zone to rock your summer sipping. Buck up! Because pink? It’s not a sissy wine (regardless if Val & Steph are drinking it at 11 a.m.) If it has a dragon on the label even better. A Chianti clue will wrap things up & get you ready for Episode 5. We hope you enjoy this episode of Wine Two Five!      

The how on whites: Chilling for warm weather entertaining. The why on reds: Room temperature is not really the right temperature. Plus: Sparkling wines any time. Yes, you can! The lowdown on pink: psst, most pink wines in the world are not sweet. Some things should be saved for a therapist’s couch, but this is so much more fun!

In episode two we go to that place that intimidates so many people: the nose in the glass.  Why do we do it?  What are we looking for?  Bottom line - don't fear the process & don't feel the pressure of checking out your wine using your senses before consuming or purchasing.  Also, one of your hosts admits to being a "closet cork sniffer," & at some point we switch from Burgundy to Rum in this episode, & there may or may not be some "cheesy" dialogue.  We hope you enjoy!    

In our first episode we introduce the concept behind drinking Wine-Two-Five, explore the question of why that bottle of wine may have tasted better on a trattoria table in Italy than back home, & ask YOU a very important question. We're diving in! Welcome to Wine Two Five, where it's not five o'clock & we don't care!
