Drinking Problems: Wine from Voice Media Group on Vimeo.

We've put the palate to the test in Drinking Problems, a video series in which our tasters, ranging from a James Beard Award-winning chef to a comedian who simply appreciates a good drink, give us the good, the bad, and the ugly of what they're drinking.

In this episode, three tasting teams have signed on to sample four different wines and give us their tasting notes.

Sergio and Country Velador of Super Chunk Sweets and Treats in Scottsdale, Joshua Hebert of Posh Improvisational Cuisine in Scottsdale and Christopher Gross of Christopher's Restaurant and Crush Lounge in Phoenix, and Marisol Chavez and Sara Palmer of For A Good Time Call Improv Troupe try a Chardonnay by Charles Shaw (you probably know it as Two Buck Chuck), Pandora Arizona white wine by Pierce, Dayden pink table wine by Arizona Stronghold, and Savigny-Les-Beaune 1er Cru “Aux Guettes” by Domaine A. Machard De Gramont.
