Welcome Nightcap hosted by Allie and Julie of Renegade: A Blackthorn Podcast.

We begin our new series of minisodes with a little trip to Tuscany. Allie tells us how some wine rebels in the heart of Tuscany broke the rules and ended up starting an entirely new style of wines with a mix of Old and New World Wines.

Grab a glass of your favorite beverage and sip along with us! Cheers!

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!

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.

Cool Climate wines are often talked about in tasting rooms and mentioned about from wines all around the world. We took this opportunity to break down what that means for how they taste, where they come from, and what that can mean for you as a consumer.

We always have a great time creating content for our Patreon. We decided to share one of our latest favorite episodes where we ask some critical questions.

Have you ever wondered why a small French province would have rules about aliens? Are you looking for an exclusive and discreet club in southern France? In this episode, we have some excellent stories paired with not-so-excellent wines.

Join us and learn why it is always smart to have a backup bottle of wine. Cheers!

We’re bringing you another one of our interview episodes this week!

Recently, we had someone ask us if we had any special content planned for March since it is Women’s History Month. But we don’t celebrate women only one month out of the year. We are proud to be a women-owned company, and we are proud to consistently feature women winemakers and women in the industry both in our online wine shop and on the podcast.

That being said, we’re speaking with Terah Bajjalieh of Terah Wine Co. located in the Bay Area in California. Terah is an all-natural winemaker, and she sources her fruit from small organic vineyards from all over the Central Coast and into Lodi. Since her fruit comes from some lesser-known areas and she is a small producer, she is always experimenting with different grape varieties and styles.

Enjoy learning about Terah, her wines and her work in mentorship to help other women who want to get into the wine industry. You know, in the spirit of Women’s History Month and all.

Grab a glass of something fresh and join us! Cheers!

In this Sispsode, we take you to the island of Madeira. What makes this place special is the wine that it produces. Madeira wine is made by a special process of heating and cooling that makes it truly unique and able to stand the test of time.

Allie shares a special bottle of Madeira and she tells you the story behind this famous wine and how it was discovered.

Grab a glass and join us! Cheers!
