This week I sit down with Alex Basich, my first true guide on my wine journey. Alex owned the wine shop Noble Grape in Chicago, where I first started digging in, asking questions and exploring new wines. 

Alex introduces me to the 'glou glou' wines with 3 wines he loves to drink this time of year, preferably while he's sitting around a camp fire, 6 feet away from good friends. We dive into an A. Pegaz Beaujolais Villages, a Broc Cellars La Boutanche and bring it home with a Dr. Frank Franc. Check all these wines out at your local bottle shop or if you're in Chicago at Noble Grape in West Town.
