Episode Details

In this weeks episode, Shelley and Phil review their Open That Bottle Night event! And what an event it was! 10 guests, 9 different wines and 12 bottles consumed. Hey, don’t judge us! The stories were grand, the wine outstanding, less swearing than last year and we still needed to use a filter because of a broken cork! Listen to the stories our guest brought about their wines while you enjoy YOUR favorite wine. #HappyFriday! #ItsWineTime! #Cheersing
