For the season finale, I'm sipping on Martha's Chard with my old friend Jessica! We start off with me getting closure from her leaving me at the job we used to work together before transitioning to life as a stay at a home mother, including during quarantine. I ask about her hair maintenance and love for yoga before we get into what her most extensive change since I last had a long conversation with her: her social media presence. She details how she went from a modest few hundred followers to 90,000, how she turned picture she had always taken into OnlyFans content and how she deals with horny comments on the daily. For all those who are fans, there is a lot of free game for you in this episode!

Today I'm sippin' on some of the very rumors you'll ever have with old friend and archaeologist, Tommy Dows! I marvel at his new Indiana Jones look as we discussed our instant friendship. Tommy, using his own words, takes me thru the process of one of his jobs--how it works, what they look for and what needs to be preserved. Tommy was gracious enough to share with me some trinkets that he's collected across his journeys before we finish up with having a wedding during the pandemic.
You've seen Ren & Stimpy and Cow & Chicken--well this is Tree & Stump!

If your best friends can't pop your podsome cherry, who can??

It's a very sober episode of Clueless Vino but it's also a special one because the guest is my son Dante! Affectionately known as (to me) "The Yung Gawd," we enjoy some sparkling red and white grape juice as well as sparkling cider. We discuss his school year and whether he likes in-school or virtual more. We also answer some fan questions, including what his super power would be and what Pokemon starter he'd pick. We also discuss why monkeys don't make the best pets. Having this episode will serve as a great time capsule as we grow older and it was so great to have this moment with him!

On this week's episode, we have owner of the FoodiO enterprise, Jamie Grant! A lot of unique looking bottles dominate the show today (HXM LIEBFRAUMILCH Riesling, Murphy-Goode Cabernet Sauvignon, Francis Coppola Diamond Claret Cabernet Sauvignon) We discuss the creation of FoodiO and what she hopes to accomplish with the business, views on religion and faith and of course, #TallPeopleProblems.

We're taking our glasses to California for this episode (Karen Birmingham's Pinot Grigio and 19 Crimes Cali Blend) as we discuss her journey to her doctorate, her overview of education and goal of impacting as many children as possible and her days as bruiser on the soccer field. I've personally witnessed the drive and determination by "B" and I wanted to give her her flowers, especially during Women's History Month. 14 years of friendship can't possibly be fit into one podcast but you definitely get a taste here, so pull up a chair and enjoy...just don't break the chair!

Our glasses were filled with some variety this week (Iaconis Chardonnay, Casillero del Diablo, Iaconis Cabernet Sauvignon) as we talked about his new love of weight lifting and what he ultimately wants from his basketball program.

On this week's episode, we have my good friend Akeem Holmes. A former Randolph-Macon basketball player like myself, we got together to drink some wine (Maximin Grünhäuser Herrenberg Riesling Kabinett, Sonoma Valley Wine Red Blend, and Luis Vieria Montaria Red Blend) and chat it up about a variety of topics, including his involvement with the nonprofit, The Assist Project, the importance of protecting one's peace, and his favorite memories as a member of the Randolph-Macon basketball. The episode may seem like it went through preproduction but it's just two friends having an efficient and seamless conversation!

For the first episode of #CluelessVino, my guest is not a guest but rather is here everyday at my house. My wife @, who doesn't even like wine mind you, is the first guest and we got to try three very different wines, Quevdo Family's Alvarhino, Chris Baker's Rose of Pinot Noir (Williamette Valley), and Franc Dusak's Zinfandel (Sonoma Valley) while discussing multiple topics, including our recent wedding, our thoughts on the recent ending to #ChillingTalesofSabrina, as well as our thoughts on watching #FoodWars together. We also played Do You Know Me to and found out which of us knows the four oceans and if either of us has played Spin the Bottle. I hope you enjoy the first episode and continue to come back for more and remember, #DrinkUp
