It’s the 4th of July and we’re practically exploding with tastings: A Cabernet from Washington! A Shiraz from Australia! And a surprise LIVE tasting from a place so exotic I don’t know how to pronounce it. Celebrate freedom by trapping yourself in a small space and enjoying your favorite beverage with this action-packed almost-conclusion to my Bright Cellars “Wine Experience” (their words, not mine) here on Chris Tries to Review Wine!
The nation is slowly opening up, but that just means it’s the perfect time to find the wine delivery service you’ll need next time everything shuts down. With that in mind it’s time to ask: Will Bright Cellars surprise me this week? (No, but it’ll still get the job done.)
Summer is here and that means it’s time to try our first white wine from Bright Cellars! What kind of NOTES will Chris have about NOTES Chardonnay? Tune in for a NOTES-worthy experience (and we promise, that’s it for the puns).
Just in time for a Memorial Day Weekend locked in a room alone: It’s a brand new box of wine! Join me as a I try to review the mysterious Cardella Sangiovese and lament my missing trading cards (yes, wine trading cards).
A pair of Petite Sirahs go head-to-head in this extra generous pour of audio magic. Will Pet Name or Obscura emerge victorious? How long until this whole project devolves into rating moonshine on the side of the Jersey Turnpike? Find out on a brand new episode!
My adventures in trying to review DELIVERY WINE continue with this Bourbon Barrel Aged Red Blend (say that five times fast) that begs the question: Wouldn’t I rather be drinking bourbon right now?
Things are getting HOT (literally) on this new season of Chris Tries to Review Wine where we’re exploring the exciting world of wine DELIVERY services, beginning with Bright Cellars!
In our surprise third season premier we relax with a Sauvignon Blanc from a local neighborhood delicaliquortessen— and more!
We're coming to you LIVE from the Lounge at Dixon Place in this week's special LIVE episode featuring LIVE human guests Lani Harms (UCB) and Gabe Templin (Just Press Playhouse). Together they tackle a trio of original drinking games, learn a thing or two about the history of cans from our friends at the New York Times, and taste a pair of wines poured fresh at the Dixon Place bar.
Listen in, play along, and try not to cry when you realize there are over 800 Pokémon!

Last week's tasting champ Jon Esquivel returns to get showered in historical knowledge (and red wine) as we play a drinking game all about the California Gold Rush in honor of The Prospector 49er Blend. It's a big, brash, red blend, but does it have what it takes to battle a bear (or kangaroo)?
Grab a glass of whatever you're drinking and play along at home!
(And don't forget to join us this Friday at Dixon Place!)
It's the return of The Least Terrible Wine of the Month Club (for the very first time!) and longtime wine fan Jon Esquivel is here to help inaugurate the summer weather with an affordable favorite: Bodega Piedra Negra Pinot Gris Rosado (2018). It's just under $10 at Trader Joe's and is perfect everywhere from the porch to a picnic (#TwistOff Life).
Come for the wine and stay for the superhero epic of your dreams as we learn all about the world's most popular story (ENDGAME) in a brand new Drinking Game with a totally catchy title. (And don't forget about Chris Tries to Review Wine LIVE! on May 10th!)
Yes, all that and more. On Chris Tries to Review Wine.
All star guest Allison Frasca returns to compare last week's fancy Cabernet with Parragon Cabernet, an affordable new selection in the Trader Joe's canon. Plus: Allison tells us all about All Star: The Best Broadway Musical (yes, that's a real musical!) and we dig deep into the only superhero movie more exciting than The Avengers (that's right, we're talking about Mystery Men).
Drinking games!
Cheap wine tips!
Smash Mouth!
Yes, this episode truly has it all.

Chris is BACK with a wine so refreshing it can only be described as the melted runoff that pools together in the bottom of that ancient cooler your dad gave you for that camping trip that was what? Five years ago? (And God knows how long he had it before that.)
Oh, but I didn't pay for it so it's pretty good all things considered.
The U.K. is barreling towards Brexit and that's bad news for British Bordeaux lovers, so this week we're double fisting an American Red Wine and a French Champagne as we play a brand new drinking game (Brexi-snatch!) and learn all about Theresa May's no good very bad day(s) in Parliament! All that and more in the latest episode of BYOB News!
