NPR Pop Culture Happy Hour 2019

NPR’s Pop Culture Happy Hour podcast draws listeners into a fun and freewheeling chat about the latest movies, television, books, comics and music. To help the conversation flow further, we propose this full-bodied, fruit-rich red.

The winemaking team had their pick of top-notch grapes, thanks to California’s fantastic 2019 vintage. They selected juicy, perfectly ripened bunches of berry-packed Petite Sirah, deep Petit Verdot and gently spicy Zinfandel. As the finishing touch, they treated the wine to four to five months in barrel.

This is exactly the kind of luscious, crowd-pleasing red that will get the conversation started and keep it rolling through dinner. (Try it with barbecued meats, your favorite takeout pizza and more—you really can’t go wrong.) You’re in for ripe berry, dried plum and dark chocolate notes, with soft tannins and a long, smooth finish.

Order your share of this limited-edition red today and break a bottle out when good friends come over.
