From inside the beltway to outside in wine country - wine grape growers Clark and Bonny Lystra talk with us about finding their dream home in the Russian River Valley. There was only one small add-on: 35 rows of Pinot in Siduri's Betty Ann Vineyard.

In this episode we sat back and sipped along. This interview has something for everyone - including those of you who like to geek it up with enology and viticulture.

It's time for the April Grape Gab, and we are getting down and gabbing Gewürztraminer. This white grape has been described as everything from spicy to grandma, to fussy and even "brassy in the glass." Either way, we're happy to grab a glass and get to know our good friend, Gewurz.

This episode explores canned wine beverages, and features the craft wine coolers of St. Mayhem. Those of us who came of drinking age in the '80s & '90s? Well, these are not the wine coolers that we were drinking in our acid washed jeans, spiral perms and parachute pants. 

Actually, those wine coolers of synthesized music days gone by were a whole different category of beverage, and we suss that out here as well.

The St. Mayhem styles and flavors surprised us, and we hope you'll enjoy learning about them.[ad] [sponsored content]

In preparation for a special guest that will joining us from Portugal in the next episode, we thought it would be appropriate to polish up our Port knowledge. This week we are popping off with a Port primer to get the party started. We cover styles, service, and try to get a jump on those burning fortified wine questions.
