Episode 220 – Sampling 7 Paso Robles Wines from Sampl!

In todays episode, Shelley and Phil were up against the wall, painted into a corner, between a rock and a hard spot and on the horns of a dilemma, as well as any other cliché that you can think of because they recorded just moments before it published! But this episode is SO fun as we get to sample SEVEN wines from Paso Robles through the Sampl wine club! Sampl is a brand-new way for wine lovers to form relationships with local winemakers by tasting a small amount rather than spending the money on an entire bottle. #HappyFriday! #ItsWineTime! #Cheersing #WineRoulette
