Holiday Wine Vs Uncle Bob | David Gibson | Barrels and Roots
from Barrels & Roots · host Sean Trace
In this episode of Barrels & Roots I sit down with Napa Valley wine pro David Gibson to tackle something we all secretly dread, holiday family drama. From Uncle Bob’s 30 minute political monologues and conspiracy theories to body shaming, money fights, crypto disasters and long running family grudges, we walk through the wildest Thanksgiving and Christmas table moments and pair each one with the perfect wine. I share my own stories from Napa to Vietnam, talk about using Gamay, Pinot, Riesling, rosé, Prosecco, Champagne, Merlot, Shiraz and big Napa Cab as “social lubricants” to soften tensions, and we keep coming back to one thing, how to stay in the middle, protect your peace, and still enjoy the people you love. If you want real talk on family, mental health, and smarter holiday wine choices, all wrapped in one honest conversation, this is the episode to pour a glass to.
