New Year, Same Kangz

It's that time of the year when everyone is making their New Years resolutions, so Chris and Lyndsay decided to ring in the New Year by making resolutions for every team in the NBA.

A (Basketball) Festivus for the rest of us

It's the first holiday season for Wine & Dime so Chris and Lyndsay wanted to do something special. Chris and Lyndsay kick things off by asking basketball Santa for some things they would like to see in the next calendar year of basketball before pivoting to an angrier holiday tradition: the Festivus airing of grievances. Like Frank Costanza with his loved ones, they have a lot of problems with people and trends in the hoops world and now everyone is going to hear about them.

The Julius Randle Experience™

The NBA season is nearing the 25 game mark so Chris and Lyndsay decided it was time for a vibe check. They start out with a quick chat about why Beaujolais is one of the ultimate good vibes wines (it doesn't take itself too seriously) before recapping the developing dumpster fire in Philadelphia, and a deep dive on four franchises that Chris and Lyndsay felt needed more discussion. They end by creating their ultimate starting five of former NBA players who would cook in today's league.

8 Simple Rules for Being an Ethical Hater

Chris and Lyndsay react to the WNBA Draft Lottery and Dallas getting the right to draft Paige Bueckers, and discuss James Harden passing Ray Allen on the career 3-pointer list and why celebrity wines are always an interesting endeavour. After that, they talk about why being a hater is the most satisfying way to watch sports and present a simple set of rules as a guide to being an ethical hater.

Victor Wine-banyama

After a brief hiatus, Chris (DNP-CD) and Lyndsay (OUT - Wine Tasting in Tuscany) have returned to the lineup, this time drinking a Gewurztraminer. After some brief discussion about this exciting and odd grape, they break down the New York Liberty winning their first ever WNBA Championship over the Minnesota Lynx, where those teams go from here, and the lack of WNBA head coaching job security and the causes/implications, before pivoting to early NBA action and Vince Carter's jersey retirement.

No Sleep til Brooklyn

Chris and Lyndsay are back with their takes on the WNBA playoffs to date including: how the Liberty inspired their wine choices (bonus wine this week!), no Aces three-peat, why the Connecticut Sun are still on fraud watch, and the Minnesota Lynx and their Pheends. After talking about the teams still in it, they move to the teams who are officially in the off-season and some quick NBA pre-season thoughts.
