Join us as we review a non-alcoholic Riesling from the producer Giesen that comes to us from Marlborough, New Zealand. Being that we are in the midst of dry January, we thought it would be appropriate to jump into the world of non-alcoholic wine. This week we learned a bit about how non-alcoholic wine is made and we found out nobody is into the StopWastingYourWineOs moniker.

This week, the guys discuss the issue of having old crackly bones and small sleeping children, they peel back the layers on the criteria each of them uses to assess and rate a wine, and the research department uncovers the truth about a potentially misleading sticker placed on the bottle.

Join us this week as we review the Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label Champagne from France. Joel drops some awesome knowledge on us as we dive into the history of the Veuve Clicquot Champagne house in a fun game of “Fact or Fiction” and there is some significant disagreement as to where the guys end up putting this bottle of bubbly.

Will this popular Champagne live up to the Yellow Label hype

Join us this week as we review the Catena 2020 Malbec from Mendoza, Argentina. This week Colin helps the guys search for a replacement for the much-maligned Layer Cake Malbec, Joel helps Colin with the learning segment, kind of, and Aaron finally gets to do the social media sign off at the end.
