Show Notes: 019 - Jumping the Shark
| We're back! This week, Sam and Lani discuss jumping the shark - how to do it, how not to do it, and... well... what it is. For those of you who are worried, it doesn't involve any actual sharks. We may drink a lot of wine, but we're not crazy. We manage to not answer the question of the week while encouraging cats with bad grammar. Also, we go long. Really long. But that's because we're making up for all those weeks we missed, and not because we can't shut up. Right? Riiiiiiiggggggghhhhhht. |

What are we drinking?
Sam had a Mondoro Asti from Italy. $14 a bottle. 7.5% alcohol.
Wine notes: Fine and constant, light straw yellow delicately sweet with right balance of acidity. Rich, intense, aromatic, fruity, with traces of acacia and orange blossoms, and scent of wild mountain honey..
Lani had a Brut Zero Cava from Spain. $10 a bottle. 12% alcohol.
Wine notes: The Brut Zero pops out with a refreshing blend of apple, pear, and citrus aromas that carry through from the nose to the finish.
