Episode Revisit: Are Non-Alcoholic Wines really that Bad?
Is non-alcoholic wine getting better—or is it still missing the magic? Nikki revisits a lively tasting with friends to explore what NA wine does well, where it falls short, and how to enjoy it for what it is.
Chardonn-YAY or Nay? Three Generations Weigh In…
Chardonnay is the most misunderstood grape in wine—mostly because it can taste wildly different depending on how it’s made. In this episode, Nikki hosts a three-generation blind tasting of six Chardonnays (from $15 to $70) to prove that there’s a style of Chardonnay for almost everyone… even the people who swear they hate it.
Happiness and Hope: Catching up with Sensory Expert Dr. Hoby Wedler
A holiday pizza night turns into an unforgettable tasting when Dr. Hobie joins Nikki and friends to try Sollevato’s first-ever Grenache—complete with sensory deep-dives, wild truffle honey goodies, and a spontaneous haiku that might just belong in the show notes.
Grenache and Gratitude: My thoughts on both…
When the UPS truck pulled away with the first shipments of Sollevato’s new Grenache, Nikki felt the weight of a decade-long dream, a year of loss and healing, and the joy of finally sending something meaningful into the world—one bottle at a time.
Our Holiday Wine Playbook with Nikki and Michael
What’s the perfect Thanksgiving wine? Nikki and Michael say the real answer is a lineup: start with bubbles, add Viognier, bring Pinot Noir (lots of Pinot), and save the Cabernet for after dinner. Plus: a speed round pairing wines with classic holiday dishes—and the leftover stuffing waffles you didn’t know you needed.
