It's Wine-O-Rama on The Mike & Judy Show this week as they are joined in studio by Jean Luc Le Du of Le Du's Wines. Start your Christmas celebration early with Mike & Judy as they taste "pizza wine" and champagne on air and give listeners some accessible advice on how to enjoy the best wine for your buck. Is Beaujolais Nouveau worth drinking? What wine is best to drink with pizza? Later on the show, Frank DeCaro, author of The Dead Celebrity Cookbook, calls in to offer some meals for wine pairings.
