Listen "What to Drink This Week: Malbec, Mencía & a Travel Game-Changer"

Episode Synopsis


If life’s felt a little loud lately, consider this your reminder to slow down and pour something thoughtful.



This week, Julia is sipping a high-altitude Malbec from Luigi Bosca Los Nobles—floral, engaging, and practically begging to be paired with mushroom risotto.



Michelle’s pouring a chillable red that stole her heart in Uruguay: a bottle of Mencía from Bodegas Mérica. Light, aromatic, and flexible enough to handle tacos, spice, and Texas summer heat—it’s the definition of drinkable.



Also in this episode:



– The game-changing travel tech upgrade Michelle swears by (hint: it involves a mouse)



– Why Uruguayan wine deserves more shelf space



– The power of wine with a story



– And how community and connection are helping us just get better, even when the world feels heavy
