Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes! (Again!)
No podcast this week, but our brand new name + logo debut + collabs across Wine and Movie Substack!
Remember last week, when we announced we were rebranding our flagship podcast to “Vintertainment” but never fear, this Substack would keep it’s OG name?
Oopsie.
As we thought it through, and talked it through, it became clear that the most sensible thing was to rebrand this whole enterprise.
VINTERTAINMENT covers everything we do - wine and entertainment, sometimes together, sometimes speperately.
It all becomes official next week. No podcast episode this week, but next week we’re dropping a special episode that will act as the official rebrand announcement, a recap of who we are and how this has all evolved, alongside a “greatest hits” sampling of both Dallas’ and my own fave episodes of the past two years. From our beginnings as “The Wine and Comics Pairing Show” on YouTube, to the launch of “Wine and…” here on Substack (and the podcast-o-sphere.)
We’re upgrading to Substack’s relatively new “custom domain” offer, and becoming VintertainmentStudios.com All previous links should redirect, so no need to update anything if you’re linking to us!
We posted this on Notes earlier this week, but here in all its glory is the full widescreen new logo for our podcast and Substack! Art by the incredible
, whom everyone should follow forthwith.
We are also rearranging our paid tiers and how those will work going forward. I want our content to be worth something, but also easy to support in these financially trying times. Separate post about that coming soon!
This Week’s Collabs
Our second WINE CONVERSATION (an evolving convo amongst numerous wine writers here on Substack) just concluded, and
, the gal who came up with this month’s topic just posted the COMPLETE CONVERSATION in a single post! Check out all 6 parts:
Look for our third Wine Conversation to get started in the next couple of weeks!
Oscar Predictions!
I also got to participate in
’s OSCAR ROUND TABLE, a beautifully designed PDF, magazine style, collecting the work of 14 film Substackers including Maria and myself, as we give our predictions for the Oscars and defend our opinions!See who we think Will Win, Should Win, Dark Horse possibilities, and “Snubbed But Not Forgotten”. I got to weigh in on the Best Editing and Best Live Action Short categories.

Have a great weekend, everyone. And if you’re watching the Oscars this Sunday, make sure you’re pouring a glass. Or two. Or a bottle. Or two. ;P
What a meaningful and memorable name and logo! I absolutely love it! ❤️✨
I missed the change, but I think it's very clever. Good luck Dave, Dallas and Vintertainment!
