Episodes
In our final episode of this season of Wines We Drink, hosts Keith Herndon and Charlotte Varnum drinking and enjoying an exceptionally bright wine from Sancerre, but it is a Pinot Noir and not the Sauvignon Blanc that made the region famous. We will see you next summer for season five of Wines We Drink!
In Season Four’s eleventh (penultimate) episode, hosts Keith Herndon and Charlotte Varnum explore a red blend from the renowned Bordeaux region of France that is a seductive combination of mostly Merlot and a bit of Cabernet Sauvignon.
In this episode of Wines We Drink, hosts Keith Herndon and Charlotte Varnum open another red blend, this time one from Canada made in the Bordeaux style that is described as “full of fruit with a classic and elegant structure.”
In Season Four’s ninth episode, hosts Keith Herndon and Charlotte Norsworthy Varnum are opening a red blend, but simply calling it a red blend is only the beginning of the story for this amazing Pacific Northwest wine.
In Season Four’s eighth episode, our hosts, Charlotte Norsworthy Varnum and Keith Herndon, are opening a full-bodied red from the country of Georgia made from Saperavi, a unique grape that calls the birthplace of wine its home.
In Season four’s seventh episode, hosts Keith Herndon and Charlotte Norsworthy Varnum are enjoying a California red wine perfect for hot summer barbecues. It’s made from a varietal – Valdiguié – that was misidentified for decades.

In Season Four’s fifth episode, hosts Keith Herndon and Charlotte Norsworthy Varnum are talking about another of Keith’s wine trips – this one to a lesser known region: the Temecula Valley. We’re sampling a beautifully balanced bottled of Viognier, a grape varietal synonymous with the Northern Rhone that has found a home in Southern California.
In Season Four’s fourth episode, hosts Keith Herndon and Charlotte Norsworthy Varnum are talking about Keith’s trip to the Finger Lakes in upstate New York and drinking his selection of an exceptional dry Riesling.
In Season Four’s third episode, we’re drinking and talking about a dry Gewürztraminer from the Sonoma Coast.

Join hosts Keith Herndon and Charlotte Norsworthy Varnum for this week's sip.
In Season Four's second episode, hosts Keith Herndon and Charlotte Norsworthy Varnum are recording in the Wine Kitchen, but visiting Spain for a wonderful grape blend that makes vibrant rosé.
In Season Four’s opening episode, hosts Keith Herndon and Charlotte Norsworthy Varnum express their enthusiasm for returning for another season of Wines We Drink — another case of episodes is on deck for you this summer. We’ll talk about our big wins in the Taste Awards and set up the overall season as another summer of focusing on finding exceptional wine values.

In season three’s ninth episode we’re opening a bottle of Keith's favorite Italian varietal – Sangiovese – but this bottle hails from a place far from the Chianti countryside.
In season three’s eighth episode we’re opening a luscious Cabernet Sauvignon-Syrah blend from the South of France, but our listeners may be surprised by how amazingly affordable it is.
In season three’s seventh episode we’re drinking and talking about Sherry, but to address the variety of styles, Charlotte and Keith are sampling three bottles: a Fino, a Palo Cortado and a PX.
In season three’s sixth episode we’re drinking and talking about another excellent sparkling wine from California’s Napa Valley.
In season three’s fifth episode we’re drinking and talking about a white wine blend that hails from one of Napa Valley’s “royal” wine families.
