Bottle Blondes is the unstuffy wine podcast for funny people. Wine is delicious, but let’s face it, wine can also be funny. Have you ever tried to pronounce some of this stuff? Here at Bottle Blondes, we use our comedy chops and a little good ‘ole fashioned research to explore the wild and wonderful world of wine -- one, two, or maybe six bottles at a time.

    Episode 24 - Natural, Organic, and Biodynamic Wine

    This week, new age tech moguls and aspiring natural wine enthusiasts Hunty Miles and Mack Horsey guest host for the Blondes. They cover questions that often pop up around the natural wine movement and explore the differences, and the overlapping similarities, between organic and biodynamic wine production. Join Hunty and Mack as they pitch ideas to start their very first NFT winery, decide how many personal shamans they need, and regale the harrowing time they summited Mt. Everest… for the 4th time.

    Episode 23 - A Very Portugal Holiday

    That's right, we just got back from holiday – not in Portugal unfortunately – but from a brief little excursion to Long Beach, Washington, where we recorded this episode just for you! Take a journey through Portugal as we cover some of the country’s main exports to the U.S., including Vinho Verde, red blends from the Dão DOC, plus fortified dessert wines from Port and Madeira. Learn about the famous Douro Valley and listen to some fun facts that you can casually drop into conversation with your friends over a fine glass of Tawny Port while sitting in your immaculate study that smells of rich leather chairs  and old books.

    Episode 22 - Lodi & Paso Robles

    “There is Zinfandel in them thar hills!” Why yes, old-timey prospector man, there is! California is known for its big red wines (like Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa), but they are also known for spicy and fruit-forward Zinfandel! So move over Napa, because this week Hallie and Adrien are taking a steam locomotive to Lodi and Paso Robles to showcase other diverse regions in California’s massive wine country.

    Episode 21 - Green Spain

    From our very green corner of Portland, OR, we take you to another lush and rainy place...known as Green Spain! Or Basque country, to be more precise, where citizens drink the lightly fizzy wine known as Txakoli (CHA-koh-lee), and use way too many consonants in everything. Hallie and Adrien discuss this upper northwest corner of Spain and why it’s a haven of white wine, and even get a visit or two from a famous pop star (please Seal, don’t sue us).

    Episode 20 - Quick! Call the Cape Doctor! (South Africa Part 2 of 2)

    For part two in our series covering the Coastal Region/Western Cape of South Africa, we play an exciting game of South African Jeopardy, look at the Bordeaux blends of Stellenbosch, welcome the comeback of the blind tasting... And of course, play 7 things, in which we are pretty sure Adrien has a new product pitch for Shark Tank for cold single people and Hallie has big carnival plans for some sheep.

    Episode 20 - Quick! Call the Cape Doctor! (South Africa Part 1 of 2)

    In the first part of our series covering the Coastal Region/Western Cape of South Africa, we look into the area’s history, wine origins and discuss some of the strange names they have for climate and soil. We explore the appellation of Swartland, Chenin Blanc, and discuss Pinotage’s strange history from a life at an “experimental farm” to a grape that divides wine critics with fun tasting notes like banana oil and road rage.

    Episode 19 - Demystifying French & Italian Wine Labels

    This year, Adrien became a French Wine Scholar and Hallie became an Italian Wine Scholar through the Wine Scholar Guild. So this week, we decided we would use some of our new knowledge to help anyone still hopelessly staring at French and Italian wine labels in your local supermarket going, “what the whaaaaa?” Plus we each talk about a region we found particularly interesting during our studies: Campania in Italy, and the Roussillon in France.

    Episode 18 - The Heartbreak Kid

    No, we are not talking about a mediocre Ben Stiller movie from 2007, but the grape that breaks hearts from France to Oregon: Pinot Noir! Citing irreconcilable differences and cultivation difficulty as reasons to divorce growers, sometimes Pinot pulls through in just the right terrior and puts in the work to make the marriage work. And speaking of Oregon, this particular Pinot Noir episode we are on our home turf of the Willamette Valley AVA. Join us as we explore some of the Valley’s main Sub-AVAs.   ----more---- BossaBossa by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/3455-bossabossa License: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license No Good Layabout by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4140-no-good-layabout License: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license
