Alex and Courtney from OKC met at Trader Joe's. Went out, and you would have thought with the shared love of TJ's (not our TJ, Trader Joe's lol)" it might be enough to at least get a 2nd Date. So we will need to find out what happened here. No cookie butter?

Flying solo this week due to a last minute brewery cancelation, I decided to dip into my own beer fridge and do a week of Okotberfest beers! There are a bunch of local options but I wanted to highlight some of the ones you'll find in the wild...today's I found just yesterday while shopping at Trader Joe's. Oktoberfest Festbier, brewered in Germany's own Flensburger Brauerei; this beer is a great jumping off point to dip your toe in the Festbier style.

Send us a textA ten-dollar Pinot shouldn't be this intriguing—and that's exactly why we opened it. We dive into Trader Joe's Reserve Santa Barbara County Pinot Noir 2023 and unpack how a sideways coastline, cold Pacific winds, and transverse valleys conspire to make Santa Barbara a cool-climate haven for Pinot Noir. From thin skins to see-through color, we decode the visual and structural clues that tell you whether a Pinot is honest, balanced, and worth your glass.We share what “classic California Pinot” means in practical terms: ripe cherry and strawberry up front, rough-edged spice in the mid-palate, and that elusive “what is that?” note—tar, crushed leaves, herbs—that keeps you curious. You'll hear how producer know-how (hat tip to Bozzano & Company) and smart sourcing can deliver complexity at value pricing, and why alcohol labeled at 14.5% can still drink seamlessly when acidity and texture line up. Along the way, we challenge the myth that price predicts pleasure, explain how retail costs get set, and make the case for judging wine by enjoyment, not hype.If you're Pinot-curious or Santa Barbara-bound, we've got practical takeaways: ideal serving temp, easy pairings like roast chicken, salmon, and mushroom-forward dishes, and a simple framework for spotting authentic Pinot in the glass. The bottom line: this TJ's Reserve offers real Santa Barbara character without the $40 price tag. If that sounds like your kind of weeknight win, hit play, taste along, and tell us where you're finding the best value bottles.Enjoyed the pour?

Hurray's Girl Beer isn't just another craft brand. It's a calculated rebellion against an industry stuck in the past. In this episode, Hurray's founder Ray Biebuyck joins Taste Radio editor Ray Latif and Brewbound managing editor Jess Infante to share her vision for a beer brand that doesn't just challenge convention, it openly mocks it. Witty, unapologetic, and intentionally unorthodox, Hurray's markets flavored light beers, including Pineapple Yuzu and Blueberry Lavender varieties, crafted not to honor tradition, but to disrupt it. The brand's satirical, female-forward positioning flips the script in a category that has long overlooked nearly a third of its audience: women. Ray discusses how Hurray's draws more from stand-up comedy than legacy brewing playbooks, using humor and irreverence as tools for connection, and conversion. She also reveals how this disruptive approach is translating into real-world traction, with Hurray's on track to reach over 3,000 retail locations, including Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, BevMo, Total Wine, Sprouts, and Walmart, by Q1 2026. Show notes: 0:25: Interview: Ray Biebuyck, Founder & CEO, Hurray's Girl Beer – Ray traces her roots back to New England and her early career in the corporate world, with stints at J.P. Morgan and WeWork after graduating from college in New York City. She discussed how, at the onset of the pandemic, she stepped in to support operations for a local beverage alcohol brand and recognized a gap in the market: a disconnect between male-dominated beer branding and female consumers. Ray eventually launched Hurray's Girl Beer in 2024 and shares the uphill journey of pitching a new beer brand in a male-dominated, slowing market, and how she carved out a niche by courting an underserved audience. She recalls self-distributing cases out of a Toyota Camry to landing shelf space in 200 retail doors across Los Angeles and Orange County and how Girl Beer secured distribution at Whole Foods, BevMo, and Total Wine. Ray also details the pivotal relationship with an Anheuser-Busch-aligned distributor, which accelerated growth and expanded reach and why she believes the brand is on track for a breakout year in 2026. Brands in this episode: Hurray's Girl Beer, Shacksbury Cider, Woodchuck Cider, Magic Hat, Ben & Jerry's, Seventh Generation, Green Mountain Coffee, Poppi, Olipop, Liquid Death, Garage Beer, Surfside, Budweiser, Bud Light, Golden Road, Elysian, Busch, Heineken, White Claw, Truly, Bud Light Seltzer, Michelob Ultra, Friday Beers

Send us a textDiscover a hidden gem that defies wine pricing expectations with our deep dive into Trader Joe's Grand Reserve Oak Knoll District Chardonnay 2024. At just $12.99, this exclusive offering delivers authentic Napa Valley quality that would typically command three times the price elsewhere.What makes this wine special begins with its prestigious origin. The Oak Knoll District sits at Napa Valley's southern end, where cooling fog creates the perfect environment for Chardonnay grapes to develop complex flavors while maintaining crucial acidity. This microclimate produces wines with remarkable balance—exactly what we found in this bottle. Created by the veteran winemaking team at DNA Vineyards (Dennis Patton and Andrea Silverstein), who bring over 40 years of experience and a track record of crafting Trader Joe's most beloved wine offerings, this Chardonnay showcases their considerable expertise.Upon tasting, this wine makes a bold statement without falling into the over-oaked butter trap that plagues many California Chardonnays. Instead, it offers a sophisticated interplay of stone fruits, citrus notes, and subtle spices, all supported by excellent structural acidity and satisfying mouthfeel. While initially striking in its confidence, the wine reveals additional layers with each sip, growing more intriguing throughout the experience. This isn't a shy, delicate Chardonnay—it's a full-flavored expression that demands attention while maintaining remarkable balance for its price point.Have you discovered a similar value wine that delivers way above its price?

Send us a textCurious about kosher wines but don't know where to begin? Join Domain Dave as he uncorks the Twin Suns Lodi Mevushal Cabernet Sauvignon 2023, a $10 Trader Joe's find that offers fascinating insights into the intersection of wine and religious tradition.This episode goes beyond typical tasting notes to explore how religious requirements shape winemaking approaches. Dave demystifies the concept of "Mevushal" wines – kosher bottles that undergo a special pasteurization process, making them acceptable for anyone to handle while maintaining their religious significance. For the wine-curious who've wondered about kosher wines but hesitated to explore them, this episode provides the perfect introduction.The Twin Suns Cabernet itself represents an interesting departure from modern California wine styles. With more pronounced tannins and oak spice than your typical fruit-forward Cab, it's crafted specifically to complement food rather than stand alone as a sipper. As Dave discovers, this traditional approach transforms dramatically when paired with cheese, allowing its fruit characteristics to shine through while taming its harder edges.Whether you're observing religious traditions or simply expanding your wine horizons, this episode offers valuable insights into an often-overlooked category of wines. From the fascinating family story behind Twin Suns to practical advice on finding and enjoying kosher wines, Dave delivers another informative episode that proves great wine experiences don't require emptying your wallet. Next time you're at Trader Joe's, grab this bottle and a cheese plate, and discover how a $10 wine can create a memorable tasting experience.

After the fall decor has been hung, take some time to explore what's under the surface. As we stroll through the changing woods, consider the preparations that your life requires this Mabon. What am I reading?A Fellowship of Bakers & Magic by J.

Send us a textEver had a wine that stops you mid-sip and makes you think, "Wait, what's happening here?" That's exactly what Seek to Find Central Coast Sauvignon Blanc 2023 did to me. Found at Trader Joe's for just $7.99, this isn't your typical budget Sauvignon Blanc – it's a thoughtful departure from the norm that deserves your attention.What makes this wine stand out is its production method. While virtually all value-priced Sauvignon Blancs are fermented and aged in stainless steel tanks, Seek to Find takes a different approach by incorporating oak barrel aging – a technique more commonly found in premium Bordeaux Blanc and high-end California wines. The result? A fascinating flavor profile that delivers familiar notes of lemon, melon, peach, and apple, but with an unexpected layer of exotic spices that only oak aging can impart. It's like getting a hint of Bordeaux, a touch of Loire Valley, and the sunshine of Central Coast all in one affordable glass.Behind this wine is Treana Wines, a division of the respected Hope Family Wines from Paso Robles, who've been crafting quality wines for over 30 years. They also produce a $50 Sauvignon Blanc using similar techniques, which explains the surprising complexity found in this budget bottle. The highest compliment I can give any wine is that it makes you slow down and truly notice what you're drinking – and this one absolutely delivers on that front. For anyone looking to expand their wine knowledge or simply enjoy something different without breaking the bank, this is a must-try.

Andrew Jones never set out to start a wine brand. What began as a side project to help him connect with vineyard clients has become Field Recordings — a 50,000-case winery with national distribution, strong retail partnerships, and 30% case growth projected in 2025.So what's fueling this momentum at a time when many California wineries are shrinking? Andrew has tapped into what Gen Z and Millennial consumers actually want: wines that are authentic, experimental, and fun. Think Skins, an orange wine that dominates its category; Freddo, a chillable red that's gaining prime shelf space in the cold box; and Fiction, a red blend built to be an everyday favorite. Together, these wines — plus a smart private-label strategy with Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, and major restaurant groups — now drive nearly 70% of Field Recordings' production.In this conversation, Andrew shares how he's scaling differently by:Leaning into orange wine and chillable reds that resonate with younger drinkersDisrupting grocery wine sets by pushing unconventional SKUs into prime real estateUsing private-label deals as growth accelerators without cannibalizing his core brandRethinking distributor relationships with road trips, pool parties, and pop-ups that actually engage buyersBuilding a winery team of 16 with low turnover and high buy-inBalancing authenticity with scalability in an industry often stuck in traditionFor any drinks entrepreneur, this episode is a playbook on how to grow by connecting with the next generation of wine drinkers while still staying true to your roots.Last Call:What does the animal on a wine label say about quality and value?

Minhas, a Calgary-born entrepreneur, engineer, and venture capitalist. [3:28] You know her from the Minhas Brewery, Distillery, and Winery, which has grown into a global empire, with over 90 brands sold across North America and 16 countries. [3:38] You also know her from CBC's Dragon's Den, which premieres its new season, featuring Manjit, in September 2025. Manjit will distill her risk philosophies on reliance and leadership today, here on RIMScast. I'm so excited to have her join us! Let's get to it! [4:01] Interview! Manjit K. Minhas, welcome to RIMScast! [411] Manjit loves risk professionals and loves working with them. She is very excited to speak to risk professionals from many industries at the RIMS Canada Conference 2025. [4:27] Manjit has worked with risk professionals in her companies and through the boards she sits on and the companies she advises or invests in. She sees a variety of talents and skills in risk professionals. They have a technical expertise and a strong foundation in methodologies. [5:01] Manjit says risk professionals identify not just the basic operational and financial risks but strategic risks and mitigation risks. There is so much M&A happening in every sector. Their technical expertise is very important. [5:22] Manjit explains, they are really good at data analysis and modeling, and making that data and a large volume of information into something that matters, that decision-makers can use to make great decisions, and think about the pros, the cons, and sometimes the blind spots. [5:57] The risk officers Manjit hires have her ear. She always likes them to be at the table. She wants their perspective beforehand rather than after. They are good at listening, taking it all in, succinctly communicating, and helping with stakeholder management. [6:18] Manjit believes that with their business acumen and their wealth of knowledge from so many parts of the business, risk managers should be at the table all the time. She wants their input from the outset. [6:42] Manjit believes that more business leaders with that viewpoint are coming up. It's a matter of how long you've been an entrepreneur or founder. Manjit has been an entrepreneur for 26 years. She and her brother started when she was 19. The drinking age in Canada is 18. [6:58] Manjit was studying engineering at the University of Calgary and came up with the idea of getting into the private label spirits business, and a couple of years later, the beer business. They started as a sales, marketing, and branding company, and then got into manufacturing. [7:16] It went step by step. It was not overnight, by any means. She just started young and has been at it for a long time. With that time comes experience, knowledge, and understanding that there are a lot of smarter people than she, that she needs to collect around the table. [7:34] At year four or five, she didn't have the same perspective she has now. Founders and entrepreneurs in early stages are still figuring it out and don't have the resources to have the same perspective as Manjit. As they gain self-awareness, they look to risk professionals. [8:14] As a 19-year-old, Manjit says she had no concept of risk. She didn't have money or a reputation at risk. Now, she has a lot more of those things, plus a list of a dozen more, that are at risk. A young person doesn't think they're risking anything other than time and energy. [8:48] Manjit thinks time definitely makes all of us a bit smarter.  [8:52] The risk professionals working for Manit work under the legal department. [9:42] Manjit talks about her risk professionals. As a business owner, you want to have the confidence that you have someone there identifying risks, assessing the impact, prioritizing risks, developing mitigation plans, and assigning responsibility. The list goes on. [10:18] In this day and age, things are changing so fast, from policy, regulation, and the labor environment. There's a long list of things that companies need to be aware of. They can't just close their eyes. They have to have a plan. [10:47] Manjit is an optimist. She wakes up thinking that where there is a challenge, there is an opportunity. She believes that when things are tough, there are a lot of problems to solve. That's when great businesses are born. Great entrepreneurs are good at solving and discovering. [11:29] RIMS Events!

[12:31] Let's Return to Our Interview with RIMS Canada Conference 2025 Opening Keynote, Manjit K. Minhas!  [12:41] Minhas products include a beer for Trader Joe's, and a fair number of private-label, controlled-label, and white-label brands throughout North America, including food service. If you've had a beer-battered onion ring or French fry on the East Coast, you've had Minhas beer. [13:28] Minhas has a diverse business within the liquor industry. [13:37] Manjit discusses reputational risk. There is reputational risk in any consumer-facing business. She says, often, what separates you from the flurry of competitor advertising is taking some risks with your brand image. [14:15] She shares an example of making a decision early on that was to get noticed, but also to protect the Minhas brand. Marketing professionals are more forward-thinking, and risk professionals are more conservative. Manjit comes to a happy middle-ground decision. [15:40] Final Break! The Spencer Educational Foundation's goal to help build a talent pipeline of risk management and insurance professionals is achieved, in part, by its collaboration with risk management and insurance educators across the U.S. and Canada. [15:58] Since 1999, Spencer has awarded over $2.9 million to create more than 570 Risk Management Internships. The Internship Grants application process is now open through October 15th, 2025. [16:14] To be eligible, risk managers must be based in the U.S., Canada, or Bermuda. A link to the Internship Grants page is in this episode's show notes. You can always visit SpencerEd.org, as well. [16:28] Let's Conclude Our Interview with RIMS Canada Conference 2025 Opening Keynote, Manjit Minhas! [16:39] Manjit states that innovation is one of the fun parts of R&D. Manjit talks about different vodkas and beers. Innovation has a financial and reputational cost, and the cost of pushing away another product from retail shelves, for a variety of marketing reasons. [17:40] There are a lot of reasons you don't want to innovate and upset the apple cart. The risk professionals help by getting the metrics for the decision. When will you see if the risk is paying off? It's an art. There are a lot of people involved, so that leadership can make a decision. [18:33] Manjit says there are a lot of nerves in the launch phase of innovation, after being in business this long. It's different when you're new. Once it's out and Manjit sees the execution phase, that's when she gets excited. All of the pieces of the puzzle have come together. [19:18] When Manjit started the business, it was super cool to see her brand offered on the menu or in the bar. It still is, going to the grocery store with her daughter and seeing their craft sodas. Her daughter went up and turned the bottles so the logos were forward-facing. [19:40] It never gets old. Her brother is the same way. They send photos to each other all the time. They package 600 cans a minute at all their facilities. It's a big operation. But to Manjit and her brother, it's like it's still the two of them against the world. [20:29] It's the drive to keep winning that gets Manjit up every day. Minhas is the 9th largest brewery in North America. How are they to keep climbing that ladder and keep getting better, compared to themselves? [20:53] Some Minhas facilities in the States offer tours. But they have secrets they want to protect. It's a very competitive industry. [21:23] Manjit explains operational resilience and risk strategy in the light of supply chain disruptions and tariffs. It's something we all need to look at and not take for granted. Look at critical operations, people, facilities, technology, third-party dependencies, ownership, and more. [22:08] They look at every part of that as to how they can be resilient and be better than their competitor, and do it more efficiently, quicker, with faster adaptation, and recover when things don't go right. Everybody is a part of it. They're doing more scenario testing than ever before. [22:44] Minhas is looking at different impacts and how long they can get through them. What are the tolerance levels? Their culture is more transparent to both issues, where they are winning and where they are not. Manjit lists the many types of business resilience. [23:26] If your business is not looking at using technology and AI to your advantage, what are you doing? Resilience is more than the easy definition. [23:57] How does Manjit keep a consistent approach to risk across all her verticals? It's communication. Manjit doesn't think there is such a thing as too much communication. Ideas have to be shared. It has to be a collaborative space to understand everything that comes. [24:25] A lot of people know Manjit from Dragon's Den. She has been on for 10 years and just finished filming her 11th season, which is airing soon. She'll let people take selfies with her. [25:11] Some of what to expect from Manjit on September 15th, in Calgary: She'll talk about her story, lessons learned, mentorship, the courage, skills, and talents that have brought her success, and fun stories about leadership. [25:37] Manjit will give some advice on how to build confidence, self-awareness, negotiation, and lots of fun things. She will leave about 15 minutes for an open Q&A session. She always enjoys learning what people in the audience are wondering. It's fun! [26:08] We look forward to seeing you on September 15th, 9:00 a.m. In Calgary! It's been such a pleasure to meet you! Thank you for joining us on RIMScast! [26:44] Special thanks again to Manjit Minhas for joining us here on RIMScast!

We talk about how their author/illustrator collaboration came to be, Nancy's long-con to get her husband to cook Taiwanese classics, the untapped potential of Taiwan's beaches, and the popularity of Trader Joe's scallion pancakes. Find this wonderful beautiful book on Gloo Books or wherever you get your books, and hang out with Nancy and Felicia at their book launch event at On Waverly on Sunday, September 14.

In this episode of "Normal World," Dave Landau and Angela open by mentioning that 1/4 Black Garrett is away and wish him well. The show kicks off with riffs on the news cycle, from Snoop Dogg facing backlash over a family film and President Trump's proposal to admit Chinese students to SpaceX delaying its Starship launch. The hosts also spotlight a bizarre viral post attributed to “Pope Black.” The panel then pivots to Cracker Barrel's rebrand controversy, lampooning corporate attempts to modernize while discarding tradition. The discussion shifts to Trump's executive order on flag-burning, with debate over free speech, Supreme Court precedent, and shifting political stances from figures like Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden. A “Half-A**ed Top Ten” follows, mocking other supposed un-American activities, from shopping at Trader Joe's to ordering lettuce-wrapped burgers. The episode closes with the End of the World segment, where the team reacts to NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani's failed attempt to bench-press 135 pounds, questioning how one recovers his “man card” after a viral moment like that. Today's guests on "Normal World" are Austin Robertson, Jeremy Ryan Slate, and Rob Eno. Sponsors Craftco- Flying Ace Some bourbons chase trends. Flying Ace chases legacy.

In this rerun episode of Parenting is a Joke, Ophira Eisenberg sits down with economist, bestselling author, and parenting data sage Emily Oster for a conversation filled with surprising truths, hard-earned wisdom, and the kind of advice that actually helps. Emily shares how she applied her data-driven brain to everything from optimal sleep schedules to discipline strategies, allowance systems, and even pet ownership (her kids gave a PowerPoint presentation that ultimately landed them with pet snails). They talk bedtime math, caffeinated tea mishaps, and whether butthole is really a bad word. Emily explains why parents should embrace "pleasure data"—what works for you, not just the kids—and makes the case that locking your child inside is no safer than letting them walk to the bagel store. She also shares insights from her newest book The Unexpected, covering the reality that nearly half of pregnancies involve complications, and how isolating that experience can be. Plus, you'll hear about the time her son accused her of loving marathon training more than him, and what it means to raise kids with freedom in a culture obsessed with control. If you've ever frozen a snail egg or wondered whether Trader Joe's ginger chews count as medical advice, this one's for you.

The Nerds debut a new Budget Rehab segment, dissecting a real family's budget to reveal strategies for saving more, investing smarter, and managing lifestyle costs. Plus: tariffs' role in rising auto insurance. Why are auto insurance premiums continuing to climb, and what do tariffs have to do with it? How can a real family adjust their budget to meet their financial goals? Hosts Sean Pyles and Elizabeth Ayoola debut a new Budget Rehab segment, where they take a hands-on approach to evaluating a listener's finances. But first, they're joined by senior news writer Anna Helhoski and insurance Nerd Andrew Hurst to unpack the forces driving auto insurance costs higher in 2025. They discuss how tariffs on imported parts, inflation, and more expensive claims are putting pressure on premiums—and what drivers can do to find competitive rates in a shifting insurance market. Then Sean and Elizabeth are joined by Garrett, a listener who receives the first “Budget Rehab” on Smart Money. They walk through his family's finances step by step, from a stretched grocery bill and drained emergency fund to the challenges of saving while raising a young child. The conversation covers how Garrett and his wife can rebuild their financial cushion after buying a new car, prepare for the possibility of living on one income, and expand retirement savings through tools like IRAs and solo 401(k)s. Along the way, they highlight practical strategies for balancing wants and needs while still leaving room for joy in the family budget. Inspired to navigate your finances with an advisor?

When the weather's warm (okay, scorching hot), and the last thing you want to do is heat up your kitchen, turning up the heat on your grill is a great way to get dinner on the table. In this episode of Inside Trader Joe's, we're going outside for some grilling tips from some of our grill-grate gurus. In place of the usual suspects, we're firing up some unexpected burgers and well-seasoned lamb. Then we're taking a trip through the garden to discover some truly delightful (and delicious!) veggies and fruits that really shine after a few quick minutes over an open flame. Have a listen, then switch off the oven, heat up the grill, and enjoy these dog (and burger!) days of summer. Transcript (PDF)
