Wine For Normal People Radio: Episode 50(!) -- Summer Sippers

Source: Wikipedia
YAY! Episode 50! Thanks to everyone for listening. Very cool milestone!

We banter a bit about our experience opening an old bottle of wine (we'll do a bonus clip of the experience soon), we do shoutouts, and then we have a fabulous listener question: If you have a vegetarian diet, what types of wines should you think about? As a preview -- vegetarian or no, you follow the flavor of the food! The options are much more varied than most people think.

Then it's on to the main topic: Summer Sippers. Click here to listen now!

Here's a quick rundown:
  • Reds: We have some specific ideas for grilling out. Then we discuss wines that can "take a chill" and be sipped. High on the top of the list: Beaujolais (NOT Nouveau). Here's a link to the cool new Beaujolais web site that I love and that will help you figure out which area's wines will work best for you (look under regions): Discover Beaujolais
  • Rosé: Love it. Nothing else to say besides that.
  • Whites: We steer clear of the standard fare and try to mix it up a little bit, giving you some ideas from France, Spain, Germany, and Austria.
  • Bubbles: No summer is complete without bubbles...and M.C. Ice reminds us that they aren't JUST for sipping.
Welcome summer in the Northern Hemisphere! And thanks for sticking with us for 50 episodes! Here's to 50 more!
