Running for the Wine

Rebecca and Morg talk about the things that motivate them to keep running, which turn out to be as diverse as loving the stats, wanting to keep up with your kids, and maintaining the ability to out run a sloth. When it comes to wine Rebecca admits it's the challenge that keeps her going, and the fact that there is so much to learn. Plus they bring back the "Can't run? Read!" segment.

Talk soon turns to wine and all the different ways you can interpret gear in the wine world. Plus Rebecca and Casey find an interesting solution to the problem of wine storage...
