Gather round peeps, the Wine Homies are breaking down Merlot, that wine that your dad drinks...and definitely your grandparents.
This grape also died after Paul Giamatti took a verbal axe to that cherry tree, but thankfully it has survived the pop culture scare and is now doing okay again (Pinot is still doing better).   
We're going to do a quick run through on this grape. The facts, the regions, and the way it tastes (inside your mouth).  So curl up by the fireplace with a Merlot and some Werther's Originals...and enjoy.

Over the many illustrious years that this podcast has been in existence, we've avoided interviewing any real people. Because real people, like Warhol's art subjects, are actually quite boring. Enter Molly Brooks. Molly is a sommelier/industry extrordinaire from the sumptuously sunshiny San Diego area and I believe you'll find her as remarkably interesting as I do. I'm not interested in interviewing boring people. Enjoy the exception:  The wickedly intelligent, provocatively well-spoken, Molly Muthalovin' Brooks.    

Episode 112: The Unsinkable Molly Brooks

On this episode, grab your tiny, tulip glasses and seat your rump on a seaside stump. It's time to learn all about Sherry. Tap some ass and order some tapas and tap a short glass of all that is encompassed within this illustrious return to podcasting form. Jason's back, ya'll.     

Episode 111: My Sherry? Uh. . .More.

On this episode, Sommelier Extraordinaire and avid TV watcher, Jason Booth, puts on his critical pants and does a thorough review of the new Starz television show 'Sweetbitter' based on the Stephanie Danler novel of the same name. The novel is called 'Sweetbitter', not 'Of the Same Name', though if there were a novel called that, my intense hope would be for it to be made into a TV show for the sheer fun of the double entendre. On this episode, I use the all of the meanings for all of the words (segue) to roll right over the idiocy included therein. Nothing is sharper than a clever tongue (other than an eyelid papercut) Enjoy the savagery of my Hotcake Hot Takes.  And check out our sponsor: WineAccess.com/Homies for a 20 percent discount on holiday wine gift purchases.

Episode 110: A Critical Review of 'Sweetbitter'

The Court of Master Sommeliers Cheating Scandal in all its glory and subterfuge.

Episode 109: CHEATER!

On this episode Jason is wearing a long, sheepskin turtleneck and pouring lemony water all over his body. Why? To be thematic, ya dumb-dumbs. This is the Sémillon podcast and no, he won't apologize for it. *Snap, Snap, Snap!*
