We're diving headfirst into the wild world of St. Patrick's Day celebrations, and trust me, it’s going to be a green-tinted rollercoaster ride! Forget the boring old traditions; we’re serving up a recipe for the most questionable green wine imaginable. I mean, who knew that blending Sauvignon blanc with spinach and crushed Skittles could lead to such a beautifully disastrous concoction? It’s all about embracing those poor life choices while sipping on what we've hilariously dubbed the “Emerald Elixir of Desperation.” So, buckle up as we navigate through this culinary chaos, share some witty banter, and throw in a few tips on how to not only survive but thrive during this festive madness. You might even want to call in sick to work on Tuesday—just saying!

Takeaways:

• We kicked off the episode with a hilariously absurd idea for St. Patrick's Day that involves questionable wine choices and spinach, because why not?
• Our concoction of green wine includes crushed Skittles and a dash of regret, making it the perfect drink for celebrating bad decisions and overcooked corned beef.
• Naming our bizarre beverage is key, so we suggest something fancy like "Emerald Elixir of Desperation" to distract from its questionable ingredients.
• The taste test revealed that our green wine tastes like a bad attitude in liquid form, but at least it embodies the spirit of St. Patrick's Day!
• We remind everyone to enjoy St. Patrick's Day safely, as nothing screams festive like a hangover from our questionable drink choices.
• In the end, we embraced the chaos of holiday traditions, highlighting the absurdity of participating in celebrations we don't quite understand.

We finished our last episode with Angela from Prairie Berry Winery talking about their wine club, and it's one of the biggest wine clubs in the United States. How big is it? So we have one of the largest wine clubs in the country. We have about 5000 wine club members from across the United States. We ship our wines four times a year to our members, and then they enjoy other benefits, such as event discounts and shipping perks, and our wine clubs called Gen Five. So it's a play on Generation Five, which, as I mentioned before, is the fifth-generation winemaker. I've never seen anything like it. When our guests come in this summer, and try our wines, most often, they live outside of the region.

Our featured winery is, we continue our conversation with Angela of Prairie Berry Winery in Hill City, South Dakota. So we’ve won over a thousand international awards for our wine. When I tell people that sometimes, you know, they look at our labels as very whimsical and attractive, people enjoy the artwork on our labels. Right. And so when I tell them about the awards that we won, for example, for our flagship wine Red Ass Rhubarb, they’ll say, oh, it’s the name, but wine competitions are blind. So the judges don’t know what they’re tasting, which speaks for itself. Okay. I would be remiss if I didn’t ask about your most awarded wine and how you came about the name.

Our featured winery is: We venture to Hill City, South Dakota. The oldest existing city in Pennington County. A 15-minute mule ride from Mount Rushmore. And about 70 miles from Belle Fourche, South Dakota, which is the geographic center of the United States. Hi, this is Angela from Prairie Berry Winery. I am the director of sales and marketing. Hello, Angela. I’ve heard of a Rocky Mountain oyster, but what is a prairie berry?

Our featured winery is we conclude our interview with Stephen Cipes, proprietor of Summerhill Pyramid Winery in Kelowna, British Columbia. As we've learned in past episodes from Stephen, it's all about making wine to its purest form, and that includes serving local and organic food in their restaurants. And what exactly does local and organic mean, and why is that so important?

Our featured winery is where we continue our conversation with Stephen Cipes, proprietor of Summerhill Pyramid Winery in British Columbia, Canada.

Well, we started out of our little garage making wine in 1990, and 91, and we introduced the same Strutt in December 91 to right in the beginning of 92 in New York City to great reviews there, as I mentioned. So the official opening is 92, but we've been making wine since the late 80s.

Let's get down to the wonderful story of Summerhill Pyramid Winery. Stephen, your accomplishments would fill a New York City phone book. But let's start back at the beginning. Where did all of this begin in connection with the Earth of the land and begin? It goes back to my childhood. I love growing things in the soil, being outdoors, and climbing trees a little. As a little boy, I've always been an outdoor kid, and I, you know, got involved in real estate development in a way that would save the wetlands and the steep slopes and very involved in early in the 60s, 60s hippie, if you will, out there protesting the way people built things. I was one of the founders of why environmental rules are so strict today, why they can't just fill in wetlands and stuff like that was my original push in New York
