Episode 195 – Sipping Back with Joy and Curt Grady of Bottle Joy – A Vintage Encore!

In today’s episode, Shelley and Phil are back in a very unique Speakeasy, sitting across from our good friends, Joy and Curt Grady from Bottle Joy! But wait, we have a surprise special guest appearance, too! Who could it be? You’ll have to listen! But we digress. Curt breaks out some very imaginative wines for this episode and they announce two new wine clubs, so you’ll want to join one (or both) of those before they fill up! In the meantime, #HappyFriday! #ItsWineTime! #Cheersing #WineAndPuppies #LegalShipments #MoanFromTheGallery #ForeignBodies #LaughOff #FastEddie  #SighOfRelease #BottleJoyUnplugged #SipSipHooray #WineTimeWithTheGradys
