We sat down to record this episode just as the Government announced the new COVID-19 isolation and closure measures, which meant it would be the last time either of us would be seeing each other for a while, let alone recording in the same room. In these completely bizarre and scary times, we’re hunting for any sense of normalcy in our lives and making this podcast together is a part of that. So our plan is to keep bringing you our booze and other recommendations, albeit remotely, and we hope that our episodes offer you a little break and piece of normalcy too.

Can you learn to like... or even love... a wine variety that ordinarily turns your stomach? Sauvignon Blanc is the big bad grape The Booze Hags have always feared, but it turns out not all Savvy Bs need to taste like a pineapple with B.O. This week we're also getting deep into the Christmas spirit (is 7 weeks out too early?), take Uber Eats down a peg and have an exciting adventure to plan for!

What we’re drinking: 2016 Amisfield Fumé Sauvignon Blanc, Central Otago NZ

What we’ve been drinking lately:

• 2018 Good Intentions Wine Co. Gris Diddly Dee Pinot Gris, Mount Gambier SA (Terri)

This week your fearless Booze Hags brave that elusive spirit known as whisky, Scotch, Bourbon. Did you think they were different spirits? So did we. But as always seems to be the case when we dive deep into a type of booze, we discover a helluva lot more about this “water of life” than we first thought...

Plus! We're extolling the virtues of BYO, smashing cans from Australia's first female-owned brewing company, getting down and dirty with some excellent TV recommendations and so much more. Cheers!
