We did it. 100 episodes. No missed weeks. No skipped pours. This week, we celebrate by going back to the bottles that changed the game for us. One red. One white. Both unforgettable. We’re talking benchmark wines, wine fridge drama, and how far we’ve come since episode one. If you’ve been with us since the start or you’re just popping in, this one’s for you. Let’s raise a glass to good wine, good people, and 100 straight Tuesdays.

This week we pop open the 2019 Zlatan Otok Plavac Mali from Hvar, Croatia. Joining us is guest host Ellen Lainez, a wine educator and founder of The Wine Consul. Her work brings wine education to life through hands-on experiences and training across the hospitality industry.

We dive into five things you need to know about Croatian wine. Then we fire up a round of Pick Your Poison to keep things fun.

So, pour yourself your favorite glass of Croatian wine if you’ve got one. If not, this episode might convince you to fix that.

This week, we dive into not one but two Txakoli wines from Ameztoi, a standout producer from Spain’s Basque Country. Never heard of Txakoli? You’re not alone. Returning guest Dr. Coleman leads the way as we explore these zippy wines and the grapes behind them, Hondarrabi Zuri and Hondarrabi Beltza. Plus, we test a new game called Somm Lier (yeah, we’re still workshopping the name).

So, grab a glass of your favorite Txakoli wine, which if you don't have one you soon will, and join us for another fun, curious, and slightly fizzy episode.

This week, we uncork a bottle of Ulrich Langguth 12° Sekt from Germany’s Mosel region. Sparkling wine on the show? You know what that means, we’re celebrating. This time, it’s a toast to Aaron as he welcomes his newborn daughter.

Join us as we dive into the 2024 Cedar Rose Vineyards Silica from New Jersey’s Outer Coastal Plain AVA. This bold blend of Viognier, Albariño, and Sauvignon Blanc will have you asking why more winemakers haven’t put these grapes together!

Joining us is Steve from NJ Stomps the Grape, our go-to New Jersey wine expert, who breaks down the New Jersey wine scene and gives us some fascinating insights to the history of New Jersey wine.

On this episode the gang have a lively discussion about the unique blend that was so graciously sent by Cedar Rose Vinyards, and answer the very real question: would you tell a friend their homemade wine suck?

So, grab a bottle of your favorite white wine and join us for laughs and a great time!
