Emily knocks one out of the park with her brunch remix of Beyoncé's Single Ladies, (it's so good it might be worth a cease and desist) and together they taste a few bottles alongside Burgers from Burgermeister here in Berlin.

Join us for a drink this week as we share some celebratory wines! Emily gifted/challenged me to a blind wine that I wrongly ended up *convinced* was at RAW this year 🙈 (embarrassing.). Let’s say it’s been a long week, as I’m sure it’s been for many of you with the holidays fast approaching!
