This week we’re sipping Barolo and tackling life’s most important questions—like what actually makes the perfect breakfast burrito. Crispy potatoes? Bacon vs. sausage? Salsa inside or on the side? Things get heated fast.

Then Megan reveals she put Eddie down as a referral for a job interview, which leads us into a full-on rehearsal of the potential phone call. Let’s just say… HR might have concerns.

Wine, burritos, and fake professionalism—classic Kill The Bottle chaos. 🍷🌯

This week we’re getting a little more real than usual. Megan steps back into theater and talks about what it means to face your fears head-on, while we sip on a Napa Cabernet from Coombsville and reflect on getting older—and why your circle starts to get smaller.
Eddie has a message for the people who only call when they need something (you know who you are), and we dive into a spicy conversation about the younger generation—work ethic, quitting too soon, and what’s changed.
It’s wine, growth, tough love, and a few laughs along the way. 🍷

This week we’re cracking open some premium ready-to-drink cocktails—Certo—and diving into whether RTDs are finally leveling up. From there, we get nostalgic (and a little existential) talking about aging and watching our childhood celebrity crushes grow up right along with us.

We also break down the Noma controversy and what it says about the future of restaurants, labor, and the fine dining world. And of course, Eddie shares a throwback story about a celebrity flirting with him at a supermarket—because why not?

Cocktails, culture, and chaos—just how we like it. 🍹

This week we’re joined by Advanced Sommelier Matias Marroquin—one of the youngest to achieve the title in the United States—for a conversation all about life, wine, and what it takes to reach the highest levels of the craft.

In honor of March Madness, we put Matias to the test with a bracket-style showdown of iconic wines. From legendary regions to powerhouse producers, only one bottle can come out on top. Which wine reigns supreme? You’ll have to listen to find out.

This week we’re sipping Gigondas and catching up on everything. Eddie shares an update on his dad, plus a wild (and frustrating) story about a terrible Miami EMT experience. We talk about the buzz around Noma in LA, and of course—some things never change—Eddie is still roasting Megan about her ex’s missing tooth. It’s equal parts real talk, food chatter, and classic Kill The Bottle chaos. 🍷
