Champagne has a deep history in France but it wasn't always the preferred beverage for poppin bottles on yachts. Champagne is so cool it's also misunderstood and has evolved through history in a very interesting way. But we are going to be diving deep and revealing the truth behind the bubbles. The when, the why, the how and the current evolution of everyone's most misunderstood wine: Champagne. My current favorite Champs on the site, click here! Produced by Dear Media.

August 08, 2019 Ep. 38 The AUSTRIA Download
I was lucky to travel to Austria in June with Jenny Lefcourt and Amy Atwood and it was one of the most inspiring trips I have ever taken! We visited some of the unsung heroes, producers who are each inspiring for their adherence to what it means to coexist in this world. Dope wines from these Austrian winemakers in the shop now! We do have other amazing wines from people like Meinklang but I didn't visit them on this trip. A lot of these wines are a little higher price point, more collectible, BUT! We have some other Austria wines in the shop that are also a more approachable price points.
