My adventures in trying to review DELIVERY WINE continue with this Bourbon Barrel Aged Red Blend (say that five times fast) that begs the question: Wouldn’t I rather be drinking bourbon right now?
We're coming to you LIVE from the Lounge at Dixon Place in this week's special LIVE episode featuring LIVE human guests Lani Harms (UCB) and Gabe Templin (Just Press Playhouse). Together they tackle a trio of original drinking games, learn a thing or two about the history of cans from our friends at the New York Times, and taste a pair of wines poured fresh at the Dixon Place bar.
Listen in, play along, and try not to cry when you ...
Last week's tasting champ Jon Esquivel returns to get showered in historical knowledge (and red wine) as we play a drinking game all about the California Gold Rush in honor of The Prospector 49er Blend. It's a big, brash, red blend, but does it have what it takes to battle a bear (or kangaroo)?
Grab a glass of whatever you're drinking and play along at home!
(And don't forget to join us this Friday at Dixon Place!)
It's the return of The Least Terrible Wine of the Month Club (for the very first time!) and longtime wine fan Jon Esquivel is here to help inaugurate the summer weather with an affordable favorite: Bodega Piedra Negra Pinot Gris Rosado (2018). It's just under $10 at Trader Joe's and is perfect everywhere from the porch to a picnic (#TwistOff Life).
Come for the wine and stay for the superhero epic of your dreams as we learn all abo...
All star guest Allison Frasca returns to compare last week's fancy Cabernet with Parragon Cabernet, an affordable new selection in the Trader Joe's canon. Plus: Allison tells us all about All Star: The Best Broadway Musical (yes, that's a real musical!) and we dig deep into the only superhero movie more exciting than The Avengers (that's right, we're talking about Mystery Men).
Drinking games!
Cheap wine tips!
Smash Mouth!

Chris is BACK with a wine so refreshing it can only be described as the melted runoff that pools together in the bottom of that ancient cooler your dad gave you for that camping trip that was what? Five years ago? (And God knows how long he had it before that.)
Oh, but I didn't pay for it so it's pretty good all things considered.
The U.K. is barreling towards Brexit and that's bad news for British Bordeaux lovers, so this week we're double fisting an American Red Wine and a French Champagne as we play a brand new drinking game (Brexi-snatch!) and learn all about Theresa May's no good very bad day(s) in Parliament! All that and more in the latest episode of BYOB News!
My guest Kate Fisher joins me to talk about the New Yorker's mind-bending profile of an author gaslighting an entire industry, then we bend our own minds around Elizabeth Warren's proposal to break up big tech, play a drinking game, and face off in the Lightning Round (with explosions)!

The BYOB News miniseries continues as Chris and Anna O’Donoghue dig into the roots of American (and British) rage with the help of a very large bottle of Rosé. Get all the links by subscribing to the BYOB Newsletter at byobnews.wtf.
