In this episode, we dive into this kooky and wild adventure! “Big Swiss,” by Jen Beagin, is the story of Greta, a woman living in a small town and working as a transcriber. A local sex therapist asks her to transcribe sessions with his local patients and inevitably, Greta recognizes one of these voices while at the dog park. The voice belongs to none other than “Big Swiss.” “Big Swiss,” aka Flavia, and Greta get caught up in an affair that will keep you turning pages late into the night. This is a story about companionship, trauma, starting a new chapter, and the ways in which we build our lives according to our fears.With this LGBTQ+ book, we wanted to focus on queer winemakers. In a past episode, we featured the wife duo of Camins 2 Dreams, so we were pleased to find another partner duo in love at Birdhorse Wines. To celebrate this queer story, we chose their rosé from the 2023 Pride Pack.
