This is a special re-release of this very relevant and important show on Earth Day. Jason Haas, perhaps the greenest guy in in wine, joins to discuss the challenges the wine industry faces in becoming gentler on the earth. From regenerative agriculture (which is way less woo woo than biodynamics!) to sustainable transport and packaging, we cover the latest thinking of how to make the wine industry greener and better.

Happy Earth Day all!

Tax Day in the US has come and gone. Many of us are getting a refund, so if you have a little extra change, here are some great wines to consider.

A few on the list are...

• Burgundy in red and white: Pinot and Chard
• Pomerol in Bordeaux
• Syrah from The Rocks District of Milton-Freewater in Walla Walla Washington
• Old Vine Zinfandel from Sonoma, Napa, and Amador County
• Châteauneuf-du-Pape BLANC

I offer descriptions and explanations of each wine in the show. I hope you enjoy and find a way to spend your tax money!

This week friend, listener, Patron, and wine diva @wineshenanigans and the wine game show @Wineopardy Monica G. joins to talk with me about wines made by celebrities, aka Celebrity Wines. We run through what they are, how many of them are made and then we discuss specifics. We wrap with our analysis of whether or not we would recommend buying these wines.

We make two caveats:

1. These are our opinions about these wines – don’t sue me!

2. Some of these brands are impossible to obtain, so we haven’t had many of them – distribution is spotty

Then we define, explain, and then categorize these wines -- those that are legit and those that are not.

Some of the legit celeb wine brands we discuss are: Francis Ford Coppola, Fess Parker, Brad Pitt/Miraval, Dave Matthews with Blenheim and Dreaming Tree, Pink's Two Wolves, Drew Bledsoe's Doubleback wines, Kyle MacLachlan's Pursued by Bear wines, Kylie Minogue's wines, and Mary J. Blige's Sun Goddess wines.

A fun show! Don't forget to follow Monica on Instagram @wineshenanigans!
