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.
