Wine for weird times

03/24/20 • 42 min

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.
