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 71: South African Wines
We are so excited to bring you an entire episode on South African Wine. Although you may not see them too often in the American market, South Africa is the 7th largest wine producer in the world.
We sip stellar sparkling wine from an area known for high quality and explore a Cap Classique wine that can keep up with its European counterparts.
We then tell the story of Mr. Siguqa, a child of a black winery worker under Apartheid, who now owns his winery and vineyard.
Through a complicated history of ups and downs South Africa is a major contender in the wine world and their wines are worth your time.
