Host Meredith recaps The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 4, Episode 16 “Whine Country,” as the cast continues the Napa trip and tensions briefly ease: Teresa and Jacqueline agree to move forward, Teresa and Melissa talk about magazine interviews and bankruptcy coverage, and the group tours wineries before celebrating Caroline’s 50th birthday with a sunset dinner. The episode’s defining moment occurs when Joe Giudice takes a phone call on a hot mic and insults Teresa (“my bitch wife…such a cunt”), leading Meredith to argue it confirms cheating rumors and highlights Joe’s behavior. The next day, Jacqueline discusses Chris wanting to clear the air with Joe, and at the final dinner Teresa’s toast thanks the hosts and the Gorgas but not Kathy, prompting backlash and Caroline refusing to raise her glass. Meredith views the toast drama as overblown and previews a bigger fight next episode.
