November 01, 2018 Ep. 09 My Sweet Baby Gamay
Gamay, gameasy, makes you feel so breezy!! Intro into the prime time gamay zone in France: Beaujolais. These wines that are transformative are also usually best served soon after release, they’re the hit of every fall dinner party table. Plus! My oldest friend Libby Babbott-Klein wrote a dope ass baby book called Baby Feminists and we chat and taste gamay and it’s awesome.
