Episode 1: Awkward at First Sip

00:00

Welcome to the very first (and very much still finding our groove) episode of Wet Hot Wine! Meet Brit, Chelsea, Shannon, and Stephanie, four friends who adore wine, friendship, and apparently diving headfirst into podcasting without reading the instruction manual.

In this debut, we introduce ourselves the only way we know how by bringing a wine tied to a fond memory and telling the story behind it. You will hear about the bottles that made us fall in love with wine, the vineyard moments that stuck with us, and a few personal anecdotes we definitely did not plan on sharing but did anyway. We talk tasting notes, wine preferences, parenthood chaos, and how this whole idea started as an excuse for a fun and regular bestie hangout.

Fair warning, we are brand new to this. We are a little stiff, a little awkward, and absolutely still warming up, but the laughter and the friendship are real. Think of this episode as the first pancake. Slightly misshapen, still delicious, and made with love, so please give us some slack.

Pour a glass and settle in. Episode One is unfiltered, heartfelt, and definitely awkward.
