Join the ladies for an intro into sweet wines. As the weather cools, we head into dinner party season.

Join the ladies for the first of a series of "skin contact" episodes that explore white grape varieties that have been fermented with their own grape skins. Reminder: you can tune into video content on YouTube. In this first episode the ladies planned on just doing skin contact aromatics but after both bringing a muscat blend (I'm sure everyone is shocked that the resident Gewürztramonster didn't feed her obsession), it's opened up an interesting opportunity to explore variations on this same subject! This week's wines: 2016, Jasse, Domaine Gauby - Roussillon, France 2018, Tragolargo Blanco, Vinessens - Alicante, Spain

Launching season two in style, you can now follow the video content of the podcast on the Juice Wine Podcast Youtube channel. Clinging on to the last memories of summer Emily shares recipe tips for Frozé all year round and naturally Guen finds a way to talk about gewürz, by inviting listeners to name or send recipes for a frozen gewürztraminer cocktail after failing miserably to come up with her own. This week's wine and extras are: 2017 Riedlin Rose - Baden, Germany Classic Martini Rosso - Piemonte, Italy

On another terrace in the sun join the Ladies and couple of bottles of Syrah/Shiraz. Do you prefer a tried-and-true classic or a young and fresh attitude?

Joined serendipitously on this sunny afternoon by the artist formerly known as Briefmarken Weine, Nicola Sessa, a dear friend of the ladies and previous owner of a wine bar called Briefmarken that used to be the only place in the city to drink amazing and memorable bottles of Italian Wine. Emily words on Nicola Sessa: "His bar used to be an oasis in the dessert for me: the only place to drink decent Italian wine in Berlin as well as being one of the few places that really created a unique and very personal environment for wine drinking. I still smile today when I reminisce of my evenings there, it was seamlessly easy to slip into a long night of many beautiful bottles and endless games of Scopa (SCO-PA!) with Guen and Nicola until the early hours. He gave us irreplaceable evenings built on fine wine, inspiring conversation, card games and most importantly friendship." Join Nicola and the ladies as they share a couple of bottles of age worthy Italian whites, to show that Italian white wines deserve to share the limelight with Italian reds. This week's wines: 2016 Filagnotti, Cascina Degli Ulivi - Piemonte, Italy 2014 ;Ante' Etna Bianco, I Custodi - Etna, Sicily, Italy

The ladies take the merkin mic out on the town for a saturday afternoon session at Standard Serious Pizza here in Berlin to chat with owner Florian Schramm about Pizza pairings!

Join the ladies in Emily’s kitchen as they dip a toe into volcanic wines.

Today it is Tenerife and Campania. This week’s wines: 2017 Benje Tinto, Envinate - Ycoden Daute Isora, Tenerife, Spain 2012 Taurasi, Feudi di San Gregorio - Campania, Italy

Join the ladies on Emily's balcony as they sample a few Austrian wines!

Join the Ladies on Emily's balcony for an introductory chat about the often divisive topic of "Natural Wine". What is it? What's it's history? and is it a fad or the future of wine?

Join the ladies for a post Easter Sunday roast chat on Emily's balcony with a couple of inte-roasting pairings. Guen clearly couldn't think of a good roast pun so if you have one please share it.
