In today’s episode of Smörgåsbord, Angel and Mik talk about the very wet and very fun Haro Wine Festival. They cover the history of the festival, its roots from the Rock (not you, Dwayne), as well how the festival is celebrated today.

 

Also, Angel shares her distaste for wine, or maybe just feet juice. And Mik gets all snooty with tomatoes and wine. They also offer valuable information on how to do the festival at home.

 

If you want to share how you will do your own wine festival at home, remember to use the #pandemicwinefight and tag us @geekhappynetwork on Instagram.
