Suggested pairing: my gosh any bottle mentioned in this episode MRQ is just CONVINCED that the only people who listen to this podcast are broke 21-year-olds and thinks he needs to provide them with $15 gems so they have the chance to "ball on a budget." (aka drink good wine at an affordable price) The jury is out on whether or not his assesment is correct, but regardless, who is going to turn down a good value? This episode is FANTASTIC and is filled with top notch wines at prices even freelance writers (MJQs profession, fyi) can afford.  If you like this episode, please let us know by LEAVING A REVIEW on itunes and perhaps we will include a "wine hack of the week" in every episode.

Suggested pairing: A Trimbach Riesling We are back in France.... not literally, of course. I wish. But yes, this week we return to France to continue our (six part?) overview of French wine.

Suggested Pairing: Water, water, water, and more water The name of the game is THE SHOW MUST GO ON. Even though Madeline is literally suffering from food poisoning before, during, and after this episode..... the DTMAW duo recorded anyways. Yes, there was a moment where she ran away to vomit. Yes, she did edit it out. Anyways, on a happier note, Matthew took (and passed!) the Level 1 Sommelier Test this week. He gives us the low down on what the test is like, what it takes, ect. Madeline does the other type of wining (ha ha.. get it)... and honestly talks a whole lot less. As usual, it's pretty entertaining.  Questions, comments and corrections: dadteachesmeaboutwine@gmail.com Updates on the show are best found on our instagram, @dadteachesmeaboutwine https://www.instagram.com/dadteachesmeaboutwine/ Madeline can be found on instagram: @burghgal, and on her blog: www.burghgal.com MR has no online footprint #babyboomer 

Suggested pairing: vouvray wine What an episode! We start our epic road trip through French wine in the Loire Valley! We break down the most important AOCs, and the big grapes in the region. As always, we sneak in a few bargin wines to keep your eyes out for. Also, my dad realizes he bought the wrong bottle BY MISTAKE halfway through the episode. It is pretty fun to see him so confused and lowkey flustered. My dad is not often epically wrong, so don't miss out on this!  Questions, comments and corrections: dadteachesmeaboutwine@gmail.com Updates on the show are best found on our instagram, @dadteachesmeaboutwine https://www.instagram.com/dadteachesmeaboutwine/ Madeline can be found on instagram: @burghgal, and on her blog: www.burghgal.com MR has no online footprint #babyboomer 

Suggested pairing: Something from the Loire Valley My dad couldn't stand the though of craming French wine into one, 35 minute episode... so instead we are doing a series! This episode will provide important overview information on French Wine and general information on how wine regions are designated in France.  Over the next three episodes, we will be going over six important AOC regions.  If you have any specific French wine questions.... now is the time to ask! dadteachesmeaboutwine@gmail.com, or on instagram: @dadteachesmeaboutwine. Can't wait to go on this trip to France w/ u!

  Suggested pairing: please don't spend 1k on a bottle of wine just for this podcast... Drinking two month worth rent of wine (ugh, it hurts) What a special edisode we have this week! We have our first podcast guest (Joe), and we collectively drink $1500 worth of wine.... and talk about it. What makes a 35 year old wine worth $1000? And what does a wine taste like when it has been cooped up in a bottle for that long? How to do prepare it? What do you serve it with? How do you describe the taste. These issues - and more! - are what we tackle on this weeks epsiode. Plus it is fun to have another voice in the mix (Joe)!   Questions, comments and corrections: dadteachesmeaboutwine@gmail.com Updates on the show are best found on our instagram, @dadteachesmeaboutwine https://www.instagram.com/dadteachesmeaboutwine/ Madeline can be found on instagram: @burghgal, and on her blog: www.burghgal.com MR has no online footprint #babyboomer
