The Boozy Biddies Podcast is a fun, irreverent exploration of wine education through drinking wine. Join your hosts, Kara and Calla, two long-time friends (and boozy biddies) for a discussion of all things wine. We'll be going over wine basics 101, and introduce you to different wine regions and varietals.
If you've ever wondered:
-What the heck is a noble grape?
-How is wine made?
-Are all wines aged in oak?
-How do I make sense of French wine?
-How do I pick out a good wine at the liquor store?
This podcast is for you.
So grab a glass and join us, because the best way to learn about wine is to drink as you learn! Let's learn ALL about wine.
