Sips and Sneaks created by AJ and SJ, to demystify the intimidating landscapes of both Wine and Sneakers. Topics include Wine and Sneakers but everything in between, from food to sports to even pop culture. Grab a glass and lace up every Tuesday and Friday as they make both more relatable and more fun. Because Life’s better with new shoes and great wine!
The fellas are once again back in the booth for another Burst Pod! As a reminder, these are quick, to the point and almost all business. Shorter than a Sprintz, but designed to be quick reactions to things in our world that folks ought to know. For this installment, we are back with another edition of the Spotlight or Spotlights, the name is still under development. However, we got two Sips that deserve their praise according to AJ. And yes, we heard you loud and clear after last week, so we have a much more approachable cocktail for fall and a Riesling coming from an unexpected area. From there, SJ shares a sneaker that took the sneaker world by storm this week after the NBA is back in action. Tune in to see how the two feel about them and how the pair compares with other notable colorways. As always, please Like and Subscribe!
