In our final episode as CrushCast, we wanted to bring you all a long awaited episode all about Greece and the underestimated variety Assyrtiko.

As always we bring you a stellar example of our featured wine, this one is all the way from Attica region of Central Greece. Right in time for spring this mineral-driven white is perfect for Spring and a killer pairing for light seafood and Greek fare.

Julie takes you to the Greek with a litlle history and Allie finishes the pod with an homage to Assirtiko, Santorini and its ability to survive the centuries.

Grab a glass and join us! Cheers!

PS. Not to worry! We will be back with an entire new podcast series next week.

We’re bringing you another one of our interview episodes this week!

Recently, we had someone ask us if we had any special content planned for March since it is Women’s History Month. But we don’t celebrate women only one month out of the year. We are proud to be a women-owned company, and we are proud to consistently feature women winemakers and women in the industry both in our online wine shop and on the podcast.

That being said, we’re speaking with Terah Bajjalieh of Terah Wine Co. located in the Bay Area in California. Terah is an all-natural winemaker, and she sources her fruit from small organic vineyards from all over the Central Coast and into Lodi. Since her fruit comes from some lesser-known areas and she is a small producer, she is always experimenting with different grape varieties and styles.

Enjoy learning about Terah, her wines and her work in mentorship to help other women who want to get into the wine industry. You know, in the spirit of Women’s History Month and all.

Grab a glass of something fresh and join us! Cheers!

In this Sispsode, we take you to the island of Madeira. What makes this place special is the wine that it produces. Madeira wine is made by a special process of heating and cooling that makes it truly unique and able to stand the test of time.

Allie shares a special bottle of Madeira and she tells you the story behind this famous wine and how it was discovered.

We are so excited to bring you an entire episode on South African Wine. Although you may not see them too often in the American market, South Africa is the 7th largest wine producer in the world.

We sip stellar sparkling wine from an area known for high quality and explore a Cap Classique wine that can keep up with its European counterparts.

We then tell the story of Mr. Siguqa, a child of a black winery worker under Apartheid, who now owns his winery and vineyard.

Through a complicated history of ups and downs South Africa is a major contender in the wine world and their wines are worth your time.
