Happy Spring everyone! We are back with our Oscar double feature series in a Timmy extravaganza! This week we tackle Dune Part II as well as the Bob Dylan biopic, A Complete Unknown, all paired with an iconic American wine—Ridge ‘Three Valleys’ Zinfandel. Does Timmy boy wow us or bore us? Come sip with two complete unknowns to find out!

Happy Sunday! This week, we’re scouring our local neighborhood for Brutalist architecture. We didn’t make the trek to New Haven to see the famous Bruer building, but we did spend the afternoon watching Brady Corbet’s opus The Brutalist starring a magnetic Adrien Brody. We pair it with the papal drama Conclave, starring Ralph Fiennes. Two wines—one American, and one Hungarian, proved to be interest...

It’s Oscar night! Over here we are starting this glittering night with the first of our Oscar series— a side by side of the much talked about Oscar favorite, Emilia Perez and the indie coming-of-age, I Saw the TV Glow. Help us compare who did it better between these two movies tackling the queer experience. We sample a non-alcoholic proxy as we try to heal from the wintertime blues. Sip along with...

Happy Valentine’s Day, lovers! We hope you had a spicy time. This week we reflected on the huge Hollywood loss of David Lynch while watching his “rom com” masterpiece, Blue Velvet. We sip some pink bubbles as we fall down the rabbit hole where we find a demented Dennis Hopper huffing nitrous and a tormented cabaret singer in Isabella Rossellini. Learn about champagne and how Stephen King and David...

Did you survive January, sippers? We barely did! We are coming back to bring you a pairing for a cold, snowy day. This week we revisit our favorite villain, the charismatic Hugh Grant, in his A24 debut of ‘Heretic’. This horror-thriller tale about the dangers of knocking door-to-door left us questioning everything. Paired with a warm and spicy Provençal red makes for a perfect winter match. Sip an...

It’s been a minute, screeners! We survived the holiday season and are back for the year with a brand new episode about the charming and sentimental “Wild Robot”. We paired this beautifully animated film with a brambly Cabernet Franc from the Loire Valley. Come along and sip with us on this light-hearted tale of a friendly robot and an adorable gosling. Cheers!

We are back, BABY! We took a hiatus to get through the holidays but we are back with part two of our deep dive into Ti West! This week we chat all things A24 Ti West with the ‘X’ trilogy starring the indomitable Mia Goth as Maxine/Pearl. We will not accept a movie we do not deserve (cough cough Maxxxine?) as we dissect Ti West as a neo-horror auteur. Sip along as we screen this last chapter of the...

We are back! Today we are taking a deep dive into the world of Ti West, horror auteur extraordinaire. We speak about his early start and all of the films that set his path up to the wildly successful ‘X’ franchise. We pair everything with a smoky Etna Rossi, straight from the slopes of Europe’s only active volcano. Sip with us and dive in deep!

Happy new episode day! We are still candy hungover from Halloween but we are diving in to our first documentary feature, Will & Harper. This feel-good road trip saga takes on a journey of friendship and self exploration to better understand the late-blooming Harper Steele with the help of her inquisitive pal, Will Ferrell. Grab a bottle of Anthill Farms Pinot Noir and a box of tissues for this bea...

It’s what’s inside that counts, right?! Today we’re taking a trip to a pre-wedding reunion that has seven friends feeling each other from the inside out in Greg Jardin’s It’s What’s inside. This body swapping movie that takes us on a wild ride. We pair it with Magic Box red blend and sip along this trippy romp of a movie. Come sip with us, cheers!

Here we go again….this week we are back with Joker: Folie a Deux featuring the method madness actor Joaquin Phoenix and his couldn’t-save-it co-star, Stefani Germonatta aka Lady Gaga! We gab about this sequel that maybe could have been swapped for a therapy session. Let’s sip and work through it together on this episode of Sip & Screen!

Happy freaky Friday! This week we are exploring the sometimes horrific, sometimes beautific and often gratuitous horror film The Substance starring Demi Moore and Margaret Qualley as her hotter younger double. We crack open a delicious Riesling to sip (or guzzle) as we break down the body of this film. Sip and Screen with us!

IT’S SPOOKY SEASON!! Our favorite time of the year is here and we are celebrating by a double header! We rewatch the 1988 Tim Burton classic Beetlejuice in preparation to watch the new Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. We sip on a morbid Spanish red and chat about a 30-year-old franchise that gave us the kooky mind of Tim Burton on a shrimp cocktail platter. Sip, screen and listen with us!

In this episode, we recount an amazing trip to Mexico City and how Casa Azul inspired us to dig into the 2002 Academy-Award winning Frida, starring an exceptional Salma Hayek as the famous artist and revolutionary. We pair it with a unique Mexican wine and wax poetic about love and the pain of life.

Come with us as we travel back in time to the year 1980, when the iconic Jane Fonda, Dolly Parton and Lily Tomlin first formed their lifelong friendship in this galpal workplace comedy, 9-5.

We dive into the complicated and dark history of Venezuela to make sense out of current events while watching this independent film—paired with a delicious Venezuelan rum in a Venezuela Libre

We take a fun jaunt into the dungeons & Dragons world, all while sipping Donnachadch Pinot Noir!

We tackle the Oscar winning Anatomy of a Fall—paired with a perfect bottle of red for a snowy, spooky night
