This is the June episode, and the theme is Through the Fire — because June is a crucible. The heat is rising, the days are stretching, and the Summer Solstice is coming — the longest day of the year, when the sun sets fire to everything it touches.

We taste a savory Rosé that reflects the season and share stories of 2 women who are changing the wine in Tavel, the heart of complex Rosé in France. Warm, welcoming, and rebellious wines that embody the heat of Soltice and our welcome to Summer.

Grab a glass of what you love this season or take a chance on a savory Rosé. We will be here with you to share and enjoy in fire and light. Cheers!

If you find yourself in need of a nightcap, you are in the right place. We welcome you to join in on a short story of war, wine, and identity.

Alsace has been making wine since ancient Roman times, but it has been in the hands of both Germany and France for hundreds of years. This struggle between cultures has formed a unique culture and influenced the aromatic wines in Alsace.

As we celebrate spring and you find yourself looking for something to sip, reach for a glass of Alsatian white wine.

Welcome Nightcap hosted by Allie and Julie of Renegade: A Blackthorn Podcast.

We begin our new series of minisodes with a little trip to Tuscany. Allie tells us how some wine rebels in the heart of Tuscany broke the rules and ended up starting an entirely new style of wines with a mix of Old and New World Wines.

Welcome to Renegade: A Blackthorn Podcast. We are embarking on a new podcast adventure, but our entire catalogue of CrushCast will still be available on this podcast feed.

Renegade is a podcast for those who want to learn about wine on the fringe and connect it more to everyday life and the mystical.

In our inaugural episode, we introduce you to Blackthorn, Renegade, and our new content.

We jump into Spring and talk about how the season of renewal and rebirth can be connected to what you drink and what actions you may take. Allie breaks down the ancient festival of Beltane and the connection between life and fire.

Grab a glass and unlock an entirely new world that is Renegade. Cheers!

In our final episode as CrushCast, we wanted to bring you all a long awaited episode all about Greece and the underestimated variety Assyrtiko.

As always we bring you a stellar example of our featured wine, this one is all the way from Attica region of Central Greece. Right in time for spring this mineral-driven white is perfect for Spring and a killer pairing for light seafood and Greek fare.

Julie takes you to the Greek with a litlle history and Allie finishes the pod with an homage to Assirtiko, Santorini and its ability to survive the centuries.

Grab a glass and join us! Cheers!

PS. Not to worry! We will be back with an entire new podcast series next week.
