Ryan O'Connell

Ryan O'Connell (Will and Grace, Awkward) joins Ellen and Shaughn to whine about famous Youtubers. They pair it with a Matteo Corregian Roero Arneis DOC from wine sponsor Gregory Condes Wines. The hip sip tip from Ellen is a Napa Cabernet Sauvignon from Shafer named TD-9. Shaughn's hip sip tip was a super fancy Côte Rotie aka Northern Rhone Syrah. In between whining Ryan details his rocky relationship with Kim Crawford, Shaughn tells stories of Hollywood parties with Logan Paul, and Ellen spills goth life with Marilyn Manson details. Then the Los Angeles wine scene gossip gets hot from what's good at the grocery store (Ravenswood, Miraval and Fetzer) to where to shop (DomaineLA, Silver Lake Wine, Lou) to what bars to hit (Tabula Rasa, Bar Bandini, Everson Royce Bar). The lighting round covers what "arneis" means, the difference between organic wine and wine "made with organic grapes", and who has the top billboard song. Sadly it's not My Bloody Valentine.

Augustus Prew & Corporate Wines!

This week Shaughn and Ellen take the show on the road! All the way to San Diego! They took The Court of Master Sommeliers intro level course! A full two day lecture and then a killer exam! Did they pass?? You'll have to listen to find out! Join them at the glam resort and go through the process of taking the course with them: from watching the instructors imbibe on their own time to learning how to do a proper blind tasting using the deductive method!  The wine of the week was a stellar Bandol rosé from sponsor Gregory Condes Wines, but plans went awry and a Ridge blend made a surprise appearance! Bonus interviews with a fellow wine-test taker/stuntwoman Katie and master somm Sur are included! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Shaughn & Ellen v. The Court of Master Sommeliers!!

Anthony Hines (Producer/writer of Sacha Baron Cohen productions) joins us for some freeform whines! And since he rebelled against telling us his whine in advance, we paired it with a rebel wine aka a Super Tuscan (Cab/Sangiovese Tuscan vino) from sponsor Gregory Condes. The wine is "La Massa" which is a Super Tuscan! A wine that stepped outside the rules of Tuscany. The hip sip tip from Ellen is going to Prizon, a K-town bar where she enjoyed fries and soju drinks that taste like Dimetapp in the best way. Shaughn's hip sip tip is a whisky (moonshine) his chums Bob and Becky made in California. The whines are freeform and start in with Ellen's women-in-comedy whines. Then they all cheers fuck Trump.  Anthony dishes on writers' round tables, the homemade wines from back home across the pond, and the terror of home-brewed dead bodies in Lake Hollywood. Gossip goes into the Royal fam back in England, from upcoming nuptials to the Queen-mum's drinking rituals.  Things go on to the Scientologist's schemes and driving dinner parties in the UK. It is all about the party. The lighting round covers where Super Tuscans came from, where sparkles in the UK come from, what the hell Claret is and what Rioja is. Pour a drink an get into it!

Gregory Condes

Shaughn and Ellen strike a power-pose to hold up the man with a plan, the man behind the wine! Gregory Condes the wine importer dugout, joins for more fun wine talk than whines and that is okay.  The hip-sip-tip from Ellen is a Nebbiolo from Mexico. Shaughn hip-sip-tips a holiday coffee specialty from Go Get Em Tiger that is a cross up between toffee nut coffee and cup o' noodles. The hippest, quite possibly.  They take a question from the mailbag as to what a wine aficionado should bring to a party of non-winos that everyone will appreciate. Ellen recommends Ravenswood zin (her go to for everything) and the guest of the day Greg seconds the notion of Zinfandel--it is a wine group hug!  This time the guest brings the wine: a 2014 Dirupi Valtellina Superiore DOCG! AKA a really tasty nebbiolo from Lombardy in Italy. Greg regales Shaughn and Ellen with tales of Faso and Bilba, the guys behind the wine as well as descriptions of the breathtaking beauty of the land. They all three promise this is not sponsored by Southwest though they all like to fly that way. Learn more about Italian winemakers, what to pair with Nebbiolo and really...what IS in the glass? You can debate the rose petal v the peppers all you want but if the glasses are from Grandma the wine is gonna be good. The take home message for everyone is get wine from a good source and drink with good company and it is going to be good. Cheers! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Megan McIver

This week Megan McIver (Cosmos in the City, bubbleologist) is in the house for whines, wines and bubble talk!Before getting into whine and wines, the Grape of Thrones is Tannat. Originally from France it is deliciously tannic and juicy!Megan's whine is about etiquette at gyms so it is paired with a wine that is lean and strong: 2016 Santo Winery Santorini Assyrtiko! This Greek wine from a volcanic island is dry and bitter but the alcohol comes out to arm wrestle. Her whines start with her hot yoga studio. Should one put up with a fire alarm and keep on tree posing? Is one riddled with enough toxins to do so? Megan recently was faced with this question. They all confess their workout styles: Megan teaches kids Zumba, Shaughn shows off lifting or runs the Grand Canyon, and Ellen either pliés at ballet or uses youtube workouts.The wine is fascinating, and the crew gets into how dangerous the Santorini climate can be and the wild way they train the grape vines to deal with the wind. The wine is well-hydrated. What does that mean? Tune in to find out. Then they get deep into their bubbles--and for once not the ones coming from a secondary fermentation. And there is a Batman sidebar so nerds tune in. Lightning round covers pine-flavored Greek bevs, how much red v. white wines the Greeks make, just how drunk the ancient Greeks got and the shape of Santorini vines. Prance on! We will. Also We Stand For Stems! Let us make #standforstems a thing. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
