097 - A Wine Time Fridays Review of Open That Bottle Night 2022

In this weeks episode, Shelley and Phil review their Open That Bottle Night event! And what an event it was! 10 guests, 9 different wines and 12 bottles consumed. Hey, don’t judge us! The stories were grand, the wine outstanding, less swearing than last year and we still needed to use a filter because of a broken cork! Listen to the stories our guest brought about their wines while you enjoy YOUR favorite wine. #HappyFriday! #ItsWineTime! #Cheersing
