065 - Ramping Up to Shiraz Day 2021 With a Müller-Thurgau & a Little Mollydooker Shake

In this episode, Shelley and Phil ramp up to #ShirazDay, which is next Thursday, with ANOTHER unique white wine, a Müller-Thurgau, and then visit one of their favorites, a Shiraz from Mollydooker. Both of these wines are available, so grab one or both, pour a glass (or two) and sip through these with them! #HappyFriday! #ItsWineTime!
