About the Podcast

Wine is delicious, but let’s face it, wine can also be funny. Have you ever tried to pronounce some of this stuff? Here at Bottle Blondes, we use our comedy chops and a little good ‘ole fashioned research to explore the wild and wonderful world of wine -- one, two, or maybe six bottles at a time.

Each episode explores either a grape varietal, region, or even wine style. We even have special guests hosts! (Okay its really just us doing a character bit because we like to keep it light and fun!)

About the Hosts

Hallie and Adrien met through the world of improv comedy and quickly discovered that they were both very silly, from New Mexico, and had a blooming interest in learning more about wine. In 2019 they launched the podcast and began their wine education journeys and both are now WSET 3 Certified. Hallie obtained her Italian Wine Scholar designation in 2021 and Adrien her French Wine Scholar designation that same year.

They wine taste together whenever they can and have collectively visited a healthy number of the world’s wine regions including, Oregon (duh! 😉), Washington, California, Portugal, Italy, and Germany.
