Uncorked Premiere Episode Recap

What do you think of when you think of wine? How tasty it is? How snobby it can be? The funny sounds people make while they’re tasting? Not drinking effing merlot? Uncorked premiere episode introduces us to the Master Sommelier test & 6 people preparing for an exam that will make their careers. It is also an exam that very few people (like around 200) have actually passed in its 40-some year history. Because of how hard this exam is, I’m assuming that we may see someone pass the exam, or we may not which is kind of unusual for […]

Jane the Virgin Chapter 27 recap: Britney Spears and a Wedding

So after reading almost everyone’s comment on last week’s recap of Jane the Virgin, it’s pretty clear Team Rafael is winning the fan vote. I’m with all you Team Rafael fans but please, continue to watch the show. Jane hasn’t officially made her decision just yet and I have a feeling she’s not choosing Michael. The walls might say that Jane wants to be with Michael but I know she doesn’t really want to be with him. Rafael confides in his sister, crazy Luisa who got him in this mess, who tells him that he should pull the cancer card. […]
