Two Girls and a Grape

Because the Fourth of July is garbage, Drea and Anne are drinking a beautiful wine from Indigenous producer, Kitá Wines, the T’aya 2019 White Blend. Topics discussed in this episode include rage naps, taking care of your face, and a defense of critical race theory. This week’s wine pairs well with seafood, beaches, poetry by Linda Hogan and Luci Tapahonso and music by Esperanza Spalding.. 

Check out more Indigenous wines in this list from Wine Enthusiast.

On this episode Sideways gets some side eye, Anne and Drea offer solutions to your wine troubles, and everyone is grateful for Sandra Oh.  Pairings include wine themed movies to enjoy and things we’re ready to ghost before our next bottle.  

In honor of the movie Sideways, we're drinking Blackjack Ranch's Maximus Syrah.

Anne and Drea welcome a very special guest, Anne's mom, Marcia! In this episodie, they rekindle their love of juice boxes, butcher a beautiful language, expose their darkest family secrets, and share Drea's first boxed wine experience, the Herisson Bourgogne Vin Rouge by Moutard-Diligent.

Recommendations include: picnics and beach days, family reunions, books by Victor Hugo, The Elegance of the Hedgehog, and The Rolling Stones.

In episode 6 of Two Girls and a Grape, we highlight the champagne method used to make this classic cava from global producer Freixenet.  While sipping tiny bubbles, Drea discovers that Anne doesn’t listen to her, they discover a real-life telenovela, and find that this wine pairs well with anxious aliens.

"Funky and unfiltered." "Naturally sparkling."  Are we talking about the wine or are we talking about ourselves? This week, we’re talking tips for wine tasting and sipping on the fresh and fruity Pet Mex 2019 by Bici from Tecate, Mexico. We think you should pair it with brunch and boy bands from the mid-aughts, and hey, since it’s Mother’s Day, pour a glass for you mom as well. Salud! 

Anne and Drea take you south, way south, for this episode, featuring Otto’s Constant Dream Pinot Noir from New Zealand. Tangents include things to do in New Zealand, the “proper” temperature for your wine, and the perfect pairing for your popcorn. 

Recommendations this week:

• Brene Brown in all her forms
• Burnout by Emily and Amelia Nagoski
• The Sum of Us by Heather McGhee
• Dinner parties with Aubrey Plaza, Michelle Obama, Alice Waters
• Otto’s Constant Dream, Pinot Noir, Hunter’s Wines

Today we're taking a journey to one of Drea's favorite places with one of her favorite wines: a 2019 Txakolina from Ulacia Getariako in the Basque region of Spain. If you don't think you like white wine, wait until you've tried this.

This week on Two Girls and a Grape, we get into some quiz based shenanigans by discovering what wine matches our personalities and enjoy a bottle of The Gallavanter Red Blend by urban winery, Donkey and Goat.
