The Wine and Uncorked Chronicles Podcast: Stairway to Nope-where
This week on The Wine and Uncorked Chronicles, we're taking a trip down memory lane (and maybe a few flights of stairs) to revisit a legendary (and slightly disastrous) university night out in London. Remember that friend who always takes pre-gaming a little too far? Buckle up, because we're about to relive the night Fiona (names may have been changed to protect the slightly inebriated) attempted to conquer a Shoreditch fire escape, all in the name of a good time (and questionable footwear choices). Was it our finest moment? Debatable. Was it hilarious? Absolutely. Tune in for a cautionary tale (or maybe just a testament to true friendship) and a reminder to always, ALWAYS prioritize proper footwear selection for your adventures. Check out Gran Morer 2018 wine from Slovenia- Thank you Vivino for the ratings!For more stories about navigating the sometimes messy, always entertaining world of relationships, check out our friends at Six Brown Chicks: Six Brown Chicks website Hosted on Acast.
