June 26, 2025 (Tucson, AZ) — Anyone wondering which wine pairs well with Dungeons & Dragons or if a Barolo is appropriate to pour during an anime watch party (spoiler alert: it is) will find a kindred spirit in Colby Elliott, a self-described “old-school nerd” with a passion for storytelling, geek fandom and fermented grapes.
Elliott is also an award-winning narrator and audiobook producer whose latest project, Geekery and Wine: The First Case, is an eclectic blend of Gen-X nostalgia and geek culture deep-dives paired with wine recommendations and behind-the-scenes commentary — occasionally accompanied by a celebrity name-drop.
“I wrote this collection to share my journey through fatherhood, audiobooks, geek and nerd culture, and, of course, wine,” Elliott said.
Geekery and Wine: The First Case offers a warm and witty listening experience that will appeal to anyone who loves video games and graphic novels, as well as amateur sommeliers and those curious about audiobook production and narration.
So don a Dr. Who t-shirt, raise a glass and join Elliott for a nerd-powered journey through geek pastures, wine country and audiobook wizardry.
“The current world is tense and unpredictable. Geekery and Wine is about finding joy and sharing it with others,” Elliott said. “This is something different, something subtle and happy. Consume responsibly!”
