We ask whether those online "super duper" wine deals are really so super, or even duper (Hint: no), we have some listener questions about snooty restaurant wine service, and we have horrible wine writing that's boutique and artisan.

Today, we make wine (semi)relevant for Cinco de Mayo and pair some wines with Mexican foods. Plus we have some info and history on tequila.

Today we decide if we're in a Golden Age of Wine, we talk to a winemaker who says maybe wine is too good, and our listener questions include what other whites to try if you like Chardonnay and why it is some people say "critter wines" with the same scorn they use with the word "Kardashian."

We have studies on where people buy wine; we have a Stanford professor's book that says menu descriptions and prices are linked; we tell you about wine recovered from a Civil War shipwreck; and a listener asks about pairing wine with master sauces.

We translate wine bottle back labels with the help of a Harvard psychologist's study, we answer listener questions, including one about cherries, and we have some history about sugar going into wine.

We go back to the question of what's better, cork or screwcaps? And, do you even care? We have listener questions about the temperature to store wine, and our Horrible Wine Writing includes a winemaker who "vilifies" his wine.

We answer the question, do you need to talk like a wine pro? Hint: Of course not. We explain why. And we untangle some of those words that those semi-pros throw out.

We ask the age-old question: What's better at picking you a wine, a mess spectrometer that deconstructs chemicals, or astrology? We also take on some maybe wacky theories, including where those headaches might come from, and we have some questions that might help people understand wine labels.

On St. Patrick's Day, we take a detour and talk about that crazy-hot supernova, craft beer, and about how it connects to wine. We also answer the question, what has more calories, beer or wine, we have a few horrible beer reviews, and we have some wisdom from one of history's greatest beer drinkers – Cliff Clavin of Cheers.

We give some useful info about grapes and vineyards, we take questions that question some of our answers – not saying we blame them – and our Truly Horrible Wine Writing is especially horrible.
