In this episode, we dive into a few bottles that really got us talking. First up, we taste a fantastic white Burgundy that seriously overdelivers for the price — classic, elegant, and perfect for spring sipping.

Then we head off the beaten path to explore some new Georgian white wines that are fresh, fun, and full of character. If you’re looking to discover something different, you’re in for a treat.

And with Easter just around the corner, we chat through some food and wine pairings to help you elevate your roast lamb, chocolate eggs, and everything in between.

Santé!
