  • Renegade: A Blackthorn Podcast: Spring Into Life and Fire
    May 7 2025

    Welcome to Renegade: A Blackthorn Podcast. We are embarking on a new podcast adventure, but our entire catalogue of CrushCast will still be available on this podcast feed.

    Renegade is a podcast for those who want to learn about wine on the fringe and connect it more to everyday life and the mystical.

    In our inaugural episode, we introduce you to Blackthorn, Renegade, and our new content.

    We jump into Spring and talk about how the season of renewal and rebirth can be connected to what you drink and what actions you may take. Allie breaks down the ancient festival of Beltane and the connection between life and fire.

    Grab a glass and unlock an entirely new world that is Renegade. Cheers!

  • CrushCast Episode 74: It's All Greek To Me: Assyrtiko
    Apr 30 2025

    In our final episode as CrushCast, we wanted to bring you all a long awaited episode all about Greece and the underestimated variety Assyrtiko.

    As always we bring you a stellar example of our featured wine, this one is all the way from Attica region of Central Greece. Right in time for spring this mineral-driven white is perfect for Spring and a killer pairing for light seafood and Greek fare.

    Julie takes you to the Greek with a litlle history and Allie finishes the pod with an homage to Assirtiko, Santorini and its ability to survive the centuries.

    Grab a glass and join us! Cheers!

    PS. Not to worry! We will be back with an entire new podcast series next week.
