242 - Holiday Party Etiquette

In today's episode, Shelley and Phil taste through two wines that are great examples of wines to take to a holiday party during this season of parties. Off the beaten path and great price points. Shelley even wanders away from wine and into the subject of shoes! What? We'll discuss a little holiday party etiquette as well. #HappyFriday! #ItsWineTime! #Cheersing
