"I’m a beautiful butterfly!" This week Rachel and Adina explore their first Pixar movie with Adina's pick, A Bug's Life. They are joined by Adina's childhood friend and insect aficionado David Marias. Rachel pairs the movie with Michael David’s Petite Sirah, whose circus animal label and giant taste perfectly fit into Bug City. Adina dives into some of the famous voice actors featured in the film, and Rachel spills the tea on some behind-the-scenes drama before the movie was released. Together, they point out some Pixar Easter Eggs and learn from David the shocking truths about the realities of a bug's life in the real world. So put on some bug spray, pour yourself a glass, and rewind back to A Bug's Life. Cheers!

"I'm not bad, I'm just drawn that way." In this episode, Adina and Rachel fall down a rabbit hole into 1988’s version of 1947 to discuss Rachel's pick, Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Adina pairs this with the full-bodied Boom Boom! Syrah to pay homage to the onomatopoeia of cartoons. Rachel has a lightbulb moment with some foreshadowing of the film’s villain, while Adina questions the judicial system of Toontown. Together they laugh their way through the most expensive movie of the 80's and figure out who, indeed, framed Roger Rabbit. So pour yourself a glass, join them in Toontown, and rewind back to Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Cheers!

"If she doesn't scare you, no evil thing will!" Adina and Rachel join the Twilight Bark this week with Adina's pick, One Hundred and One Dalmatians. Rachel pairs this pup-tastic movie with a Pinot Noir from Chateau La Paws, who donates a percentage of sales to No-Kill Shelters. Adina shares the details of the new animation technique used in the movie that Walt was not a fan of and Rachel leads us in her magical made-up game of "Spot Count!" Together they name each of the unnamed pups and celebrate the canine heroes shown throughout this film. So pour yourself a glass, cuddle up with (wo)man's best friend, and rewind back to One Hundred and One Dalmatians. Cheers!
