A Wine Podcast for the Rebellious Palate
Wine was never meant to be locked behind gatekeepers, hushed tones, and dusty rulebooks. Renegade is where we smash that bottle wide open. Each week, we take you beyond the tasting notes — into the hidden histories, cultural myths, and untold stories that shape the way we drink.
Hosted by Allie and Julie, Founders of Blackthorn, Renegade is part wine education, part storytelling, and part rebellion. One episode might unravel the strange journey of a grape across centuries; another might expose the myths the wine industry doesn’t want you to question. Always thoughtful, sometimes irreverent, and never pretentious.
Whether you’re here for the lore, the learning, or just a glass of something good, Renegade is your invitation to drink differently.
