Hey y'all!

Welcome back to another solo episode with me, Kristen, today! I'm catching up on everything that's gone down so far in 2026 when it comes to booze and it's a lot.

I'm talking about Dry January, the new alcohol guidelines from the clowns at HHS, the Year of the Fire Horse, Jeffrey Epstein, Sean "Diddy Combs, and Diageo's ties to all things dirty business. I'm even giving my review of Emerald Fennel's "Wuthering Heights." Strap in!!

Hey y'all!

I'm so excited to bring you the first new episode of 2026! I've got Sara and Max on the show today, founders of Glasrose Farm. The American opera singer and German-born wine maker are raising their daughter on an organic vineyard filled with live oaks and herds of grazing sheep.

Sharing a deep love for the land and a commitment to mindful living, the vineyard is not just their home but a testament to their creativity and commitment to sustainability.

After a Dry January turned February and beyond, Max decided he wanted to make something new. The couple has been developing a beautiful zero proof beverage made from organic verjus from their vineyard and exciting and unexpected ingredients like cardamom, hibiscus, and black pepper.

Check out their offerings!
