It's the return of The Least Terrible Wine of the Month Club (for the very first time!) and longtime wine fan Jon Esquivel is here to help inaugurate the summer weather with an affordable favorite: Bodega Piedra Negra Pinot Gris Rosado (2018). It's just under $10 at Trader Joe's and is perfect everywhere from the porch to a picnic (#TwistOff Life).

Come for the wine and stay for the superhero epic of your dreams as we learn all about the world's most popular story (ENDGAME) in a brand new Drinking Game with a totally catchy title. (And don't forget about Chris Tries to Review Wine LIVE! on May 10th!)

Yes, all that and more. On Chris Tries to Review Wine.

All star guest Allison Frasca returns to compare last week's fancy Cabernet with Parragon Cabernet, an affordable new selection in the Trader Joe's canon. Plus: Allison tells us all about All Star: The Best Broadway Musical (yes, that's a real musical!) and we dig deep into the only superhero movie more exciting than The Avengers (that's right, we're talking about Mystery Men).

Drinking games!

Cheap wine tips!

Smash Mouth!

Yes, this episode truly has it all.

Chris is BACK with a wine so refreshing it can only be described as the melted runoff that pools together in the bottom of that ancient cooler your dad gave you for that camping trip that was what? Five years ago? (And God knows how long he had it before that.)

Oh, but I didn't pay for it so it's pretty good all things considered.

The U.K. is barreling towards Brexit and that's bad news for British Bordeaux lovers, so this week we're double fisting an American Red Wine and a French Champagne as we play a brand new drinking game (Brexi-snatch!) and learn all about Theresa May's no good very bad day(s) in Parliament! All that and more in the latest episode of BYOB News!

My guest Kate Fisher joins me to talk about the New Yorker's mind-bending profile of an author gaslighting an entire industry, then we bend our own minds around Elizabeth Warren's proposal to break up big tech, play a drinking game, and face off in the Lightning Round (with explosions)!
