Join us at the Lounge at Dixon Place at 7:30 PM on May 10th for a LIVE recording of the show!
Admission is free and wine is 100% available at reasonable prices from our good friends at the Dixon Place bar (BOUNS: it’s the same wine we’ll be tasting!).
(Don’t let Anderson scare you: RSVP now!)
The verdict is in: Audiences love Detective Pikachu! And now that Hollywood knows exactly how much nightmarish CGI moviegoers are willing to tolerate (more than Game of Thrones but less than Sonic), get ready for even more Pokémon fun with these 19 spinoffs already in development!
Promoted after evolving, your favorite furry friend from Detective Pikachu is now overweight and burdened with paperwork.
The hard-nosed, chain-smoking police commissioner is given his own standalone film where he comes out of retirement for one last investigation into Team Rocket— even if it costs him the love of his long-suffering wife, Vaporeon.
The unlikely story of a political romance between Seth Rogen and a fish.
Will she sacrifice her sworn duty to protect the children in the crosswalk in order to save her own baby? Co-starring Liam Neeson.
Last week’s tasting champ Jon Esquivel returns to get showered in historical knowledge (and red wine) as we play a drinking game all about the California Gold Rush in honor of The Prospector 49er Blend. It’s a big, brash, red blend, but does it have what it takes to battle a bear (or kangaroo)?
Grab a glass of whatever you’re drinking and play along at home!
(And don’t forget to join us this Friday at Dixon Place!)
Nose: A hint of lemongrass. Or maybe it’s a hint of lemon and a hint of grass. Whatever it is it’s just a hint, so don’t get carried away with your lemony and/or grassy fantasies here.
Taste: A fresh, zesty Sauv Blanc that is neither memorable nor offensive. You won’t hate it but you won’t love it. You’ll wonder why you didn’t buy a bottle of Oyster Bay instead, but then maybe these doubts are actually the subtle, introspective flavors only a wine this unremarkable could reveal.
This Sauvignon Blanc is so young even Kevin Spacey wouldn’t go for it, but a great choice for a party if you’re looking for something light, refreshing, and just a little refined (you know, a Kevin Spacey-type).
This wine basically has to sneak its way into your basket/cart/handtruck at Trader Joe’s, because it almost looks too normal. With an unassuming name (Spiral!) written in an unassuming font (what is that? Garamond?)–– all at a price point that is exactly $1 more expensive than you want it to be–– this is the kind of Cab you could easily pass by a hundred times without noticing it (I know you go to Trader Joe’s often enough). an unassuming label, and the kind of unassuming price point that you’ll skip over in favor of something with a fancier price tag (and font).
But I sure do hope this wine does make it into your loving, budget-conscious home, because inside this boring bottle lies a diamond in the rough: A big, bold, oaky cab that doesn’t require decanting to knock your socks off. Because I know you won’t decant it. And I know you probably won’t even put socks on to begin with.
Subtle? No, but that’s the point.
Okay, so I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking Uruguay? (Go ahead, ask Alexa where Uruguay is. I’ll wait.)
Once you realize Uruguay is in South America you’re ready to enjoy this crisp, zesty Albariño–– a wine more commonly associated with Catalonia or the Basque Country. (Go ahead, ask Alexa where Catalonia is. I’ll wait.)
Nose: One online reviewer described it as “foamy banana and yoghurt on the nose” and honestly that image is so graphic I felt it was my civic duty to report the review for inappropriate content. Also what the hell does foam smell like?
Taste: Okay wait now I think I get it: This wine is delicate and indecipherably fruity on the nose, but each sip packs a crisp punch of a fresh lemon sorbet chased with a shot of vodka.
This unexpectedly memorable white is reminiscent of salt water in several ways:
You’re-a-gonna make some room on your wish list for this Uruguayan star. Pick it up in a heartbeat if you can find it for less than $15 (but at $20 you can probably find something cheaper and no one will know the difference…).
