Ah, Thanksgiving! A time to celebrate and give thanks for all the blessings in our life. A time to get together with our family...and dread the inevitable, uncomfortable conversations. But this is why we drink wine, people! And for today's episode, Carrie Flaspohler and I talk about the Top 3 Thanksgiving wines we'll be pounding...errr...sipping while mom points out those few extra pounds we seem to be carrying and that maybe that's why we're undeserving of a serious partner. We're pairing our favorite wine with our favorite uncomfortable conversations, so pour yourself a glass and commiserate with us. It's a judgment-free zone!

In this special bonus episode, we say farewell to the spooky season with Ellen Clifford, host of the popular wine podcast—and perhaps the only goth wine podcast—The Wine Situation. Together, we count down six of our favorite all-time scary movies, along with the wines that pair best with them. Spolier alert: Apothic Red is not involved at all. So, pour yourself a glass of something luscious, light the candles, and compare notes as we reveal the six scary movies that rocked us the hardest!

In the final episode of my two-part series on the Rules of Ghosts, I reveal the life-changing event that shaped the way I now look at the world beyond our own. Yet, I'm still left with questions. Namely, why hasn't a ghost just come up to me and said, Yo, JT, I'm a ghost, and we need to talk?" 

To get some insight into this answer, I reached out to writer, witch, and spirit medium Kristen Nedopak.  Kristen's own incredible story—and the way it shaped her worldview—gives some fascinating perspective into the spirit world, and why it's something important to be in tune with.

And what wine pairs with learning the Rules of Ghosts? The 2020 Tous Les Jours Chenin Blanc/Viognier Blend from California. Why? No reason. Like, literally, I have no specifically good reason at all. It's just a super yummy and totally quaffable white wine that only costs $15 and comes with free shipping. So you should get some. Now.
