15: The Wine Episode: Pairing Every Phase of Your Cycle

This week on InPhase, Lauren and Robin are joined by wine enthusiast, actress, and certified cool girl Natalie Pelletier for the episode they have been dreaming of doing: what to drink in every phase of your cycle.Natalie got her start in the wine world at Dominic's in LA under a female wine director who changed everything for her. She has since worked alongside some of the most respected women in the industry, and now sells organic, sustainably farmed wines across California.Together, Lauren, Robin, and Natalie break it all down: a warming Pinot Noir or lighter-bodied red for your menstrual phase, a crisp Sauvignon Blanc or skin contact orange wine for follicular, something sparkling for ovulation (Lambrusco counts, and yes it pairs perfectly with pizza), and a fuller-bodied red blend or textured rose for luteal. Plus what's actually happening in your body during each phase, why your alcohol tolerance shifts throughout your cycle, and the one simple thing to look for on the back of a bottle that can change everything.Also covered: the case for pet nats, why intentional red blends deserve more credit, how Robin accidentally thought Normal People was a love story, and the time Lauren found herself half a glass into ovulation and ready to write a thesis.Natalie is on Instagram at @irishfrecklegirl and @drinknattywines.Robin Dybevik: I’m good with that!
