QSS Ep 44: Southwest France + Unemployment

DISCUSSIONS DU JOUR:

FRAAANNNCCCH WINE HERE'S SOME MORE OF IT!!

 

We are now in Southwest France. Where? Exactly.

 

We are exploring two regions…

Gascogne - known for its dry, light-bodied white wines that are crisp and citrusy

and

Cahors  - known for its intense & tannic Malbecs and Tannats

 

We also talk about the wines from last week* and touch on wine faults like VA and mouse 

*NOTE: when we say "last week," we actually mean episode 42… little date switch up

 

The THERAPY section… isn't very therapy-ish… or very therapeutic… idk

 

We talk about…

- Unemployment & passing time while waiting for answers 

- Dans new hobbies… Being a plant girly? EDC pouches ????

- Fear of reaching out to people & fear of rejection

 

This one's kinda random so bear with us

 

Wine 1: Domaine Duffour Cote de Gascogne Blanc ($10) *Note: yes, Elodie said this was Ugni Blanc -- she was wrong

Wine 2: Crocus L'Atelier Malbec de Cahors ($18)

 

ABOUT THE QUE SERA SYRAH PODCAST:

After many consecutive Sunday mornings at the wine bar discussing our wine obsessions and our personal lives, we thought to ourselves… do you think other people might care about this stuff? The answer to that question is still ambiguous. But we recorded a podcast anyway.

 

Here's the deal:

🎤It’s a podcast about wine & therapy

🍷Dan and Elo will each bring a wine each week to taste & discuss

😩We will also bring our traumas & triumphs from therapy that week to share openly with the world

 

The goal is to learn about wine and get a little tipsy and be VULNERABLE TOGETHER. How cute?!
