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 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.

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.

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.

It's finally time for Pinot Noir for the Wine & Dime Crew, and they're talking WNBA. Before Chris and Lyndsay dive into the W playoff matchups, they discuss league expansion to Portland (are the Fire back?) and pay a small tribute to Diana Taurasi just in case this is in fact, it.

The Wine & Dime crew is back and this time they're drinking South African wine.
