Stop Wasting Your Wine – Détails, épisodes et analyse

This week on the podcast, we're diving into the often overlooked world of the Mencía grape with a review of the 2020 Rectoral De Amandi, Heroic Edition. Discover the story behind Mencía and its breathtaking home in Spain’s Ribeira Sacra region—where steep, terraced vineyards make winemaking nothing short of heroic.

But it’s not all serious wine talk. Brace yourself for a chaotic round of "Spellmolier," Colin’s least favorite (and most hilarious) game, and marvel at Joel’s uncanny ability to pull off the impossible at the last minute.

Tune in for laughs, learning, and a wine you might just want to add to your collection. Don't miss out on the fun!

This week, we’re bringing you a Texas-sized interview with James Smith from Château Wright in Fort Davis, Texas! Along the way, we take an unexpected detour to Mexico before diving into James’ fascinating wine adventures and the exciting buzz around the Texas wine scene.

As first-timers to Texas wine, we were caught off guard—in the best way—by the magic coming out of these bottles.

And, of course, we’re keeping things fun with another round of PiNope or ChardonnYay. Tune in for plenty of laughs, some surprising discoveries, and a deep pour of Texas wine goodness.
