This week Meg + Mel play myth busters with some of the most common myths floating around: does wine give you worse hangovers? Can you keep bubbles in sparkling with a tea spoon? Can you chill red wine? Are blends any good? Do you need to use expensive decanters? We dive into all these and more! 

What Meg's been drinking this week: Langhe Nebbiolo.

Listener Question: If Pinot Grigio and Pinot Gris are the same grape, why call them different things?
