Rather than the binge drinking, amateur drunk night that is normally an American St. Patrick’s Day, the studio is treated like a true pub where days gone by and hopes for the future are discussed.  Bryan and Matt are joined by Sarah to relax into some red beers and chat about the upending of the industry on this day a year ago, how things have adapted, what they see moving forward and discuss...

Thanksgiving wines and the cellar- Thanksgiving has stood the test of time, did our wines do the same? Join us as we dig into Bryan’s cellar (and the store) and taste some wines (and some other goodies) that are perfect for the Thanksgiving Holiday.  Thanksgiving is a reminder of why some of us started drinking and setting wine aside for all these years.  Some turn out really well and so...
