Clueless Vino

It's a legendary episode as I hang out with old friend and emerging Tik Tok personality, Katie Stuart, lately known as Bar Daddy! One of Richmond's most beloved bartenders, of course it was only right to have her whip up two different wine cocktails for the show. In between, we had a glass of recent award winning wine, Scott Kelley Oregon Pinot Noir! We discuss a variety of topics, including mental health, bar etiquette, her love for Demi Lovato (give her a follow Demi!) and crazy drinking stories. They may call her Bar Daddy but she'll always be KStu to me! It's a wild episode that's one for the ages!

It's a Revenge of the Nerds type episode! I'm joined by Cassie Proffitt, a fellow Randolph Macon graduate and fellow lover of all things nerd culture. We have some very fun wines, including Rod Easthorpe's Sauvignon Blanc and Kaleidoscope Red Wine Blend. But none more appropriate than Ugo Lestelle's VII as Cassie is the seventh guest AND we are both huge fans of Final Fantasy VII. Listen as we discuss the storied franchise as well as her journey to becoming a huge fan of Star Trek. If you love Star Wars, are a Trekkie love spiky haired main characters or just love anything nerdy, this is a must listen!

On this week's episode, we have owner of the FoodiO enterprise, Jamie Grant! A lot of unique looking bottles dominate the show today (HXM LIEBFRAUMILCH Riesling, Murphy-Goode Cabernet Sauvignon, Francis Coppola Diamond Claret Cabernet Sauvignon) We discuss the creation of FoodiO and what she hopes to accomplish with the business, views on religion and faith and of course, #TallPeopleProblems. Just over 90 minutes is not nearly enough to tap in to all the knowledge Jamie has on food. She has an amazing mission statement built from an amazing story. I feel like I only scratched the surface of what she knows but if you're interested in learning more about food and how it can impact any and everyone, this is one episode you're not going to want to miss!

On this week's episode, we have one of my best friends, Dr. Brittany Lopes! We're taking our glasses to California for this episode (Karen Birmingham's Pinot Grigio and 19 Crimes Cali Blend) as we discuss her journey to her doctorate, her overview of education and goal of impacting as many children as possible and her days as bruiser on the soccer field. I've personally witnessed the drive and determination by "B" and I wanted to give her her flowers, especially during Women's History Month. 14 years of friendship can't possibly be fit into one podcast but you definitely get a taste here, so pull up a chair and enjoy...just don't break the chair!

On this week's episode, we have good friend, Casey Jones! Our glasses go through a marathon of different flavors (House Wine Rosé, Beauty in Chaos Pinot Grigio and Mauricio Lorca Malbec) while we discuss having the perfect wedding despite tight state restrictions, our different reasons we love our respective king-sized beds and answering the timeless debate: N'Sync or Backstreet Boys.

On this week's episode, we have Head Coach of JR Tucker Boys Basketball, Adam Desgain.

Our glasses were filled with some variety this week (Iaconis Chardonnay, Casillero del Diablo, Iaconis Cabernet Sauvignon) as we talked about his new love of weight lifting and what he ultimately wants from his basketball program. We also have fun reminscing on a few moments we shared as members of the Randolph-Macon basketball team. A very fun episode for me because it's great to see how Adam's love of basketball has transformed into a coaching career at his alma mater!

On this week's episode, we have my good friend Akeem Holmes. A former Randolph-Macon basketball player like myself, we got together to drink some wine (Maximin Grünhäuser Herrenberg Riesling Kabinett, Sonoma Valley Wine Red Blend, and Luis Vieria Montaria Red Blend) and chat it up about a variety of topics, including his involvement with the nonprofit, The Assist Project, the importance of protecting one's peace, and his favorite memories as a member of the Randolph-Macon basketball. The episode may seem like it went through preproduction but it's just two friends having an efficient and seamless conversation!

For the first episode of #CluelessVino, my guest is not a guest but rather is here everyday at my house. My wife @, who doesn't even like wine mind you, is the first guest and we got to try three very different wines, Quevdo Family's Alvarhino, Chris Baker's Rose of Pinot Noir (Williamette Valley), and Franc Dusak's Zinfandel (Sonoma Valley) while discussing multiple topics, including our recent wedding, our thoughts on the recent ending to #ChillingTalesofSabrina, as well as our thoughts on watching #FoodWars together. We also played Do You Know Me to and found out which of us knows the four oceans and if either of us has played Spin the Bottle. I hope you enjoy the first episode and continue to come back for more and remember, #DrinkUp
