In the next chapter of the Wine for Sophisticated Homies Saga, Ben Draper and Jason Booth take you inside the secretive world of Chenin Blanc.

Kick back in your porch hammocks with a bottle of aged Vouvray and listen to the words that are coming out of our mouths.  You'll learn all about this intriguing white wine grape and the hammock will relax your back after that stressful week at work you had.  If you do not own a porch, or a hammock, well, not much we can do...sucks to suck.

In this episode Ben and Jason explain the Spanish wine world to you.  So pop open that pocket Freixenet you've been holding onto for a special occasion and bust out some wide-grained, American oak deck chairs so that you can sit back, relax and learn all about Spanish wine law, the DO system, and the weather and geography, including why the rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain.  

We recommend aging this podcast for two years in barrel and three years in bottle, so that five years years from now it'll be listening lovely.  If you have any gran reservations about this then listen to it now.  

Cheers Homies.

To Celebrate our 50th Episode, the Wine Homies get very drunk and talk about life.  No stuffy wine theme for this episode, just innapropriate conversations between your two favorite unserious sommeliers.

We actually talk about our own lives...alcohol leads to honesty.   

The episode is over 50 minutes so you can get drunk while you listen to us in your car or in church.  Cheers Homies, thanks for the dedication.

Pop open a bottle of Amaro to enjoy with this podcast.  If you don't know what an amaro even is, then listen to the podcast, learn, and then listen to the podcast again with an amaro.  If you don't like listening to things twice, then force your loved one to listen to it.  Either way it doesn't matter to us. Actually it does matter to us.  Listen to this podcast 3 times.   And that's final.
