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.

CrushCast Episode 63: Our Little Known Friend: Viognier
Viognier has had a complicated past and at one point was almost extinct. Spread by the Romans and cultivated by the French it could have been lost to history. Now being planted around the world, Viognier has had a modest resurgence helped by the famed Condrieiu and a little-known but secretly famed monopole.
We talk about history and our experience with the variety.
Don't shy away from a Rhone White and find one to sip on your own. Join us in an exploration of this aromatic white wine and just how good it can be with food, or on its own. Cheers!
