It took a bit longer than anticipated, but we are back for Season 3!! And I am joined by two guests to kick off the new season - Andy and Adam Jester have returned. In the kickoff to this season, we try a couple of gins from South Carolina and chat about their trip to England over 20 years ago and their potential banishment from the country, their upcoming trip to Ireland, the French 75 cocktail, Adam’s hockey career and we end the episode with not one, not two, but three Off the Beaten Path selections.

Come for the gin, and stick around to hear Adam actually sneak in multiple choices for his topic 🎙️

Cheers!!

Wake the kids, call the neighbors - Toe Squished Grapes is back to cap our 2024 season with a special holiday episode. However, instead of wine this year, they are exploring non-alcohol options for the holidays, with not one, not two, but three beverages for us try. In this jam packed episode we cover the new drink concocted by Molly - the Lemon Drip, sneak in a little football talk, try to figure out if it is an adaptogen or adopt a gin, discuss gift ideas for kids, tackle some Christmas movie trivia, and share three special Off The Beaten Path topics. They packed a ton into this episode.

Come for the non-alcohol options, and stick around to hear us debate an issue that continues to divide our country - is Die Hard a Christmas movie or not? Oh, and we even sneak in a little show and tell 🎙
