053 - Celebrating International Cava Day 2021 and the First Episode of a New Fiscal Year

Happy International Cava Day! In today’s episode, Shelley and Phil will taste a Cava to honor the day, celebrate the start of a new fiscal year for the Wine Time Fridays podcast, as well as, taste through two wines they purchased from a discount store to see if they hold any value. You never know what gem you can find at a discount store.
