In today’s episode, Chad taste-tests a Pumpkin Chardonnay live on air, the latest (and strangest?) fall concoction to grace the shelves. Will it be an unexpected triumph of autumnal innovation, or will it end up in the Hall of Pumpkin Spice Shame?

 

Cousin Seth watches in suspense, and you’ll be right there with them for every sip—good, bad, or downright terrifying. Could this Pumpkin Chardonnay be the next great seasonal surprise, or is it just gross enough to warrant a public warning? Tune in to find out!

 

Audience Question:

“Would you be brave enough to try a Pumpkin Chardonnay? And what’s the weirdest pumpkin-flavored item you’ve ever tasted—hit or miss?”
