Steven dishes out an answer to the age old question: what's your favourite wine of all-time?

Steven cracks a bottle in celebration of episode #27 of The Drunken Sommelier Podcast. And he drinks from the hip. If you'd like to share in the experience, British Columbia residents can grab a bottle of the 2018 Quails' Gate Old Vines Foch Reserve. If you're from planet earth, grab anything close to you and pour yourself a generous portion. We only go by once. That we know of. Cheers to another milestone!

Steven is once again reeling from a sojourn to wine country and has drunkenly arrived at some extremely important ideas which he has aptly dubbed, "The Four Epiphanies". Listen on, silvergirl.

Steven reflects on a wide variety of subjects and tangents as he enjoys his time on the native land of the Osoyoos Indian Band surrounded by vineyards, mountains, and lakes. Drink on.

Steven draws inspiration from a casual declaration made by the great Jacques Pépin: "I prefer ordinary wines."

Steven ponders how we might flip the script, making our everyday bottles the special occasions, rather than pining for those elusive moments once in a blue moon and letting our expectations get in the way. Buckle up.
