In this episode, we’re bringing the tradition, the competition, and a little bit of chaos to the table. We kick things off by diving into a blind tasting chosen from of our NCAA Bracket style Elite Eight wines—from crisp Vinho Verde to Bordeaux powerhouse Château Pontet-Canet.

We pair wines with classic Derby food, then head into the two-minute warning: a mint julep build-your-own challenge, complete with crushed ice hacks, spritz variations, and a strong case against overdoing the simple syrup.

 A quick sports survey of the past month and a reveal of our favorites round out the episode. So whether you are betting on the track or what’s in your glass—kick back and sip along with us.
