The Crush

Whitney Adams and Christina Pickard

Follow them on their virtual adventures around the wine world via their imaginary friend Carmen Grape-iago. The ladies chat about everything from their travels, tastings, gripes and loves, to more informative stuff like demystifying wine terminology, essential wine and food pairings, and ‘quickfire’ interviews with winemakers, sommeliers, and other major players in the wine trade. Prepare to learn a lot, laugh a lot, and end up loving wine as much as they do.
