Amanda Salvatore and Jackie Rae Aubel of the Guilty Pleasure podcast are in the house and here to make sure Shaughn and Ellen stay on track!
Before getting into the whines, this week’s Grape of Thrones is Albariño, a scrumptious white wine most known for being from Rías Baixas and Vinho Verde.
This week’s guests want to whine about passive aggressive notes! When you are passive aggressive you say one thing and mean another so Shaughn and Ellen went with a wine that is called one thing but signifies another–SHIRAZ AKA SYRAH! They are drinking the 2016 Yangarra PF Shiraz McLaren Vale!
As for passive aggressive notes, the foursome deal with how to approach noisy neighbors, ponder whether Shaughn lived next to a serial killer, and how to deal with bullies and bad roommates. They also go deep on glassware. Martini glasses get a passive aggressive note?
The lightning round covers what tree influences the taste of Australian wines, what Shiraz used to be known as in Australia and where else in the world is phylloxera-free!
Cheers!
