Renegade - A Blackthorn Podcast
Renegade is a wine podcast for rebels, witches and the wisely intoxicated. This is a week audio ritual from the founders of Blackthorn, a secret society for wine lovers, witches, and story-seekers. We blend rebellious wine education with mythology, history, and the kind of truths you only tell over a second glass.
Hosted by Allie and Julie, wine educators and storytelling sorceresses, this isn’t your average wine podcast. Expect interviews with rule-breaking winemakers, irreverent dives into wine culture, and the occasional tale from the cellar shadows.

This week we are talking about a very important Spanish white grape, Viura aka Macabeo. Though lesser known, Viura is a principal grape in Rioja white wines, as well as an addition to traditional Rioja reds. Or maybe you know it as Macabeo in your favorite Cava.
Allie brings us a fresh liter of Viura that would be welcome at any picnic. Julie gives you all the details about why this grape has different names and the diverse ways it is used in winemaking. We end with a discussion on wine trends and how what you drink can affect what wines are made. Listen in for all of the details. Grab a glass of your favorite Spanish white and join us! Cheers!
