In this episode, Blair, Keith and Kelly discuss the possibility of alcohol laws changing because of the pandemic. Are some of these new laws here to stay? Keith and Kelly battle it out over whether or not pairing wine with food is a "thing." Keith takes the scientific approach, while Kelly argues consumers should just drink what they like and not worry about whether or not it goes with their food.
