Standing Still

The Wine Episode!!! Recently, I had been looking to further educate myself on the romance and intricacies of wine. Luckily, my friend Will works, and sells, in that very industry. Thus, I invited him on to take me to school, and he brought along his coworker, and certified sommelier, Dakkar to add to the mix. They each brought a bottle of their own, and then we hit Bevmo. My only instructions were to maintain a variety and to keep it under $100, and they didn't disappoint. We ultimately sat down with six bottles of wine ranging from a rosé to much heavier reds. What foods pair well, the thoughts behind each country's specialties, proper procedures, and so much more! Life is RAD.

Quis and Amber are good friends and join the show to discuss a variety of topics and catch up on life.

Whether men should take baths, giving back to the community, and much more. Life is RAD. WATCH ON YOUTUBE!!
