This week on Drinks with Dee Dee & John, the conversation comes to you straight from the Kentucky Castle — yes, an actual castle — where bourbon, travel, history, and real talk all collide.

From sipping True Story bourbon and sharing laughs about charcuterie mishaps to exploring America’s past through stops at Jamestown, Williamsburg, Yorktown, and Saint Augustine, Dee Dee and John reflect on what makes this country extraordinary — and why history matters more than ever.

The duo also dives into their ambitious “Happy Birthday America” 50-state tour, a nationwide journey celebrating America’s upcoming 250th birthday through music, storytelling, and a powerful new documentary designed to inspire Americans to rediscover their roots.

Along the way, they share unforgettable travel moments — driving a Bronco along the Outer Banks, visiting veterans memorials in Jacksonville, experiencing the historic Greenbrier Resort, and uncovering the stories that don’t always make it into textbooks.

Plus, a fun giveaway straight from horse country:

🐎 What horse won the very first Kentucky Derby?

Answer correctly and you could win Dee Dee’s lavender beret! It’s a heartfelt, humorous, and passionate episode that blends patriotism, personal stories, American history, and lively conversation

— all served with a splash of bourbon and a whole lot of love for the USA.

🇺🇸 God bless America — and thanks for tuning in.
