We say farewell to NORMAL SCHOOL of WINE as we have relaunched our project, still and always dedicated to spreading WINE WISDOM FOR EVERYDAY LIFE...
We say goodbye to Normal School of Wine, NRML Wine, and all of its affiliated "NRML" brands. Unfortunately, with that, we also must say farewell to NORMAL SCHOOL of WINE THE PODCAST.
For Julie and I this has been a labor of love, our little baby, and a project that we have loved and nourished through three seasons. We thank you all for your continued support over the years!
We hope you check us out in the future and visit us and see what we're doing in our new project PINTA PRODUCTIONS and PINTA SCHOOL OF WINE

The penultimate episode in the season! Our dynamic duo heads for the storied, manacled, libraries and drawing rooms of most-respectable Bordeaux!
Along the way they welcome the New Year... hello 2024!
Alas, they share no news on the current new rebranding but they do tease a major announcement coming our way!

BONUS EPISODE - OUT OF THE VAULT
"The Lost Champagne Episode"
Out of the Vault-- while we recorded this episode 2 years ago, it was never published add has languished in the dark recesses of the World Headquarters of Normal School of Wine, forlorn, forgotten... Until now!
Our dynamic duo break-down wine laws; sea-aged wines; and pop-open the bottle to reveal the mysteries and magic of "capital C" Champagne!
Styles, types, and stylings are discussed and we see if the chump gets stumped in this bonus episode! And, remember what Julie says: Don't let a flute chat ya! #champagnelife

Nobody hide! It's going to be alright as we dive into a the divisive world of Chardonnay!
Our brave hereos boldly divide the room as they delve into the controversies of Chardonnay.
Fear not thee who hateth the oak... we're talking styles, places, and favorites. Along the way the dynamic duo, Alejandro and Julie, talk what to pair with Korean food; what to bring to a party when no one cares about wine; and we'll see if the chump is finally stumped!

We take off to the fairy-book town of Chablis whose Kimmeridgian hills resplendent with vines give us legendarily long-lived; crisp; mineral-laden, er, Chardonnay! Along the way we make a few stops to unpack the truth about wine clubs; how Climate Change is impacting Europe's storied vineyards, as well as touhcing-down on the formula for choosing a wine for parties and we'll see if the Chump gets stumped on this brand new episode!
All aboard and join us for a dive into one of our favorite elittle wines from Burgundy: the much misunderstood and adored Chablis!

The dynamic duo strike back! After an almost, ahem, year hiatus NORMAL SCHOOL of WINE is back and better than ever!
We're coming out with a third season with all the hilarity, wine and hijinks you've come to expect! Coming at you monthly with regular episodes as well as bonus episodes, interviews, and more!
WINE OF THE POD
Every month (at the end of the a podcast episode) we'll reveal the following month's "Main Topic" as well as give you the stats for a wine for you to drink along with us as we discuss the wine and dive into pod's mainline subject.
We will rarely give you a specific wine (i.e. a specific brand and vintage) - instead we'll give you some parameters for what wine to get at your local independent wine shop (say, "Chablis" or a "Valpolicella") -- in fact, we'll even give you a graphic you can download to your mobile device and show the folks at your local wine shop so you can join us with your bottle and curl up to some wine-wisdom every episode!
THE WINE of the POD for SEASON 3 - EPISODE 1:
A crisp, zippy, white wine from Sicily between $16 - $25USD.
Think things like Catarratto, Carricante and/or even a crisp (and dry) Zibibbo.
Check out and download the WINE OF THE POD graphic here
Drink well my friends!

Leave those tiki torches home because we are talking woke whites - We don't want to hear “I don’t like white wine” as we leave the 8-crayon crayola box behind and explore a world beyond Pinot Grigio (ok, three wines...) . Another wine legend leaves us, Sting gets stung, and the dynamic duo dives into some very woke white sponsored by Georgia-based distributor Rive Gauche Wines.
