Adam & Joe are joined by Nick Antelek, Managing Partner of SoNapa’s The Shores location, for a big-bottle edition of Grapes & Debates.

Their good friend Kim Braddock, Central Florida Market Manager for Foley Family Wines & Spirits, came through with something special—a magnum of Lancaster Cabernet Sauvignon from Alexander Valley. After sampling this incredible wine, the conversation turns to a question worth debating: Are the states drinking the most wine also the happiest?

The guys dig into WalletHub’s rankings of the happiest states in America and compare them with the states consuming the most wine. Coincidence? Science? Or just another compelling reason to keep the corks popping?

Then things get a little more serious. With wine sales reportedly down $1.2 billion and grapes being left on the vine, the industry could use a few more heroes.

So consider this your call to action:

Drink good wine. Support the industry. Be a Wine Hero.
