This week’s pairing? A delicious Napa Cab with aftershocks. The 2014 Matthiasson was rattled by an earthquake while in barrel, and it shook us into a chat about natural disasters, including the recent flood that impacted our neighborhood. Earthquake? Flood? Fire? We weigh the options like it’s a twisted fantasy draft and admit which calamity we’d actually prefer to weather – with a glass in hand, of course.

We are thrilled to chat with our latest guest, Lisa Lee, a wine entrepreneur in Myrtle Beach who took a vision of a high-end wine bar with unparalleled hospitality and made it a reality with The Tasting Room on 9th. Her story is inspiring, her personality energetic, and her desire to bring the best to the Arts & Innovation District of Myrtle Beach is heartwarming. Tune in to hear her nontraditional, yet exciting journey of opening a wine bar in a coastal community where most sipping is usually done with cocktails on the beach. Lisa chose a deliciously fresh Provençal rosé from Château Minuty to sip on – grab your own and listen in!

Pour a glass and buckle up – this week, we’re sipping wine and diving into the recent wave of plane accidents and mid-air incidents making headlines around the world. From collisions to mysterious technical failures, it seems like every week brings a new reason to clutch your armrest a little tighter.



Are these just isolated events, or is something bigger going on? Is commercial aviation still the safest way to travel, or are we overdue for a reckoning in the skies? Join us for a candid, slightly buzzed conversation on the state of air travel and what it all means for your next flight.



Cheers, turbulence, and a bottle of Giant Sky Sauvignon Blanc – this one’s got it all.

Have you ever wondered what type of ingredients are in your skincare products? How about your staple loaf of bread or favorite dessert? Well we were, so we downloaded Yuka, a phone app dedicated to analyzing the health impact of food and cosmetics. We got busy scanning products, and boy were we surprised! Join us as we venture down the rabbit hole of what we’re putting inside and onto our bodies. And what better wine to pair this topic with than a Merlot from one of our favorite sustainable and family-owned Napa Valley vineyards – Cakebread!

We’ve decided to stir things up a bit – literally and figuratively, asking each other the conversation starter questions we’ve collected from our PureWine Wands since Episode 87. Paired with these random questions, we drank Seriously Cool, a cinsault from South Africa. Listen to our off-the-cuff answers and think about how you would answer these questions!

Would it surprise you to learn that there’ve been some incredible wine heists – ranging from hundreds of thousands to over a million dollars worth of the liquid libation? Yours truly could not believe how seemingly common it is for these types of raids, let alone the frequency (hitting the same place twice?!) and lack of security when retail shops and restaurants alike boast some of the highest quality and priced wines in the world. In the glass, we travel to Italy’s boot, and feel like “the grape thieves” drinking this delicious and affordable wine.

Thinking back 20 years ago, we never thought we would already be in the era of electric and self-driving cars (Back to the Future, anyone?) As this technology is pushed to become more mainstream – we want to truly understand if they are for the better. Are they more environmentally-friendly and safer to us, the drivers? Or is there a sinister hand at play? Join us while we debate the future of vehicles while we sip on Sinister Hand Red Wine from Columbia Valley.

We couldn’t think of a better way to mark 5 years of the Drunk Bitches Podcast than with a blind tasting….and who doesn’t love a blind tasting?!

Join us and laugh along as we guess our way through the glass. Hint hint: this time we have a red and a white!

What’s all the hype with vision boards?! Since we are fairly early in 2023, we decided to look more into what vision boards are and if they can help us accomplish our goals for the year and beyond.

Calling all Pet lovers! This episode we circle back to the discussion we had 3 seasons ago (episode 98 to be exact) when we debated on whether to bring a furry friend into the household.

All while drinking the perfect wine for this episode, PETS!

We finally did it!! We are so excited to bring you the first of what we hope to be a series of blind tastings.

Listen in as we guess our way through wine – of course in our own DBP way!

4 years?! Time sure does fly when you are having fun…especially while drinking wine! This episode we break out the wines we picked up on our inaugural DBP visit to Sonoma at a charming winery in Carneros. We both chose the same wine, but different vintages in anticipation of popping them for a special occasion. Listen in as we celebrate our DBPversary, and reflect while enjoying two beauties from the same vineyard! Sip along, because it’s a celebration, bitches!

All poured! Left to right: 2013, 2015, 2016, and 2017 Silverado Vineyards’ Soda Creek Ranch Zinfandel. Thanks to our nifty Coravin (this podcast is not sponsored), we were able to drink straight through without having to open all four bottles!

Spring ahead, fall back…it’s the saying we hear twice a year that drives us mad! Whose idea was it to institute daylight savings time? Does everybody recognize it? And why, oh why, do we still have it? We break down the arguments for and against this widespread practice while ‘Day’ drinking, if you catch our drift. Grab a glass to listen or help you adjust to the changing clocks!

Bet you didn’t think there was a wine out there called Furmint, but in fact, there is! You’d probably also be surprised to hear it is from one of the only countries that has its own oak too – Hungary! Not only does Hungary sit on the same latitude as the infamous Burgundy, but it produces a wine that was once called “the wine of kings and the king of wines.” Pour yourself something fit for a king and explore Hungry for Hungary with us!

Do you have what it takes? To really sink your teeth into it and get it done? Nothing worth it ever comes easy, and this episode we drill down into what “True Grit” really means.

But, hey, let’s make the journey fun and sip along with our episode’s namesake – True Grit Reserve Petite Sirah. Grab a glass, press play, and join us!
