The Drunken Sommelier

We searched. We stalked. And we found one. In between the wild and violent snapping of shirtless selfies in front of such mirroring devices ranging from those in public washrooms to car windows to the back of a silver spoon, Connor Bouchard enjoys a glass of wine. Here's the rest of the air-headed material he came up with on the topic while in conversation with Certified Drunken Sommelier™, Steven Lane.

Guitarist extraordinaire and wine enthusiast Michael Fabro joins Steven on the podcast to nosh on some Spanish-inspired nibbles, slosh some Spanish wine, and discuss all the tangents surround his latest instrumental Spanish guitar-influenced album entitled "Tasting Notes". Get relaxed, make sure you have a couple bottles at the ready, and enjoy an extended ramble complete with a live performance from the one and only Michael Fabro. 

Steven discusses the importance of otherwise high-minded wine people embracing trash wine as a means of pushing the wine needle forward.

Steven is sick & tired of being sick & tired. And wine is to blame. 

Steven jumps off another high-dive, this time inspired by the Talking Heads. What is the distinction between allowing creativity to take you to an unknown place versus creating solely for an intended outcome? Big questions, big answers.

Steven extrapolates on the lyrics of Walter Becker & Donald Fagen to pose yet another existential question: how crucial is experimentation when it comes to developing not just your palate, but the wine industry at large?

Steven signs off of 2020 early (who wouldn't want to do that?) with a second mailbag edition. Is he losing his mind? Or just showing his true colours? The Drunken Sommelier Podcast will return with season 2 in January. Stay tuned and thanks for listening!

Steven cracks a bottle of Freemark Abbey Cabernet Sauvignon and lets loose on the differences between reviewing a wine, rating a wine, and preferring a wine.

Steven digs into The Drunken Sommelier mailbag and responds to a few questions from listeners. What could go wrong?

Many of us are in desperate need of physical touch & affection amidst limited social interaction right now. Steven talks about how wine can fill the gap.
