The Wine Pair Podcast
Drink Better Wine. People are drinking less, so every bottle needs to be memorable. Joe and Carmela help you discover affordable wines you'll love: hidden gems, chillable reds, and old favorites worth another look. Each week, they take on a new grape, style, or region, explain why it matters, and taste two wines under $25 they bought themselves. They don't accept samples, so their reviews are real. They tell you what wines really taste like and pull no punches when a bottle is a dud. Decanter calls the show “fun, irreverent, chatty, and entertaining.” New episodes Sundays.

Fan Mail
My local Ralphs, where I've been buying Meiomi pinot noir by the six (for a 30% discount), now stocks only a new "Bright" version. With an ABV of just 8%, my response is "no effing way!" JG, Lake Forest, CA
