QOTD: mid to late 1990’s Pope Valley Zin cemented my love of wines. Perfect bottle for where I was in my life, on that day, and at that time and one of those rare moments you know its special right away, while you’re still experiencing it.

Great episodes, can’t wait to find some orc aged sake to sample. I live in Iowa so I expect I will have a good selection of middle earth sakes available. (Wow, I am lame . . . and yes, I have kissed a girl). Peace.

Great episode :

QOTD : a cheap(ish) 2003 Graves red. I already loved wine, but just getting into bordeaux – I thought, if Ican get wine like this at this price (£10), what else is out there?

7 minutes in…
Mr. T deserves a repeat visit, or twelve. Maybe three or four times a year, when he’s on the East Coast have him on to chat about wine and/or sake and/or tea and/or farmers/vintners/brewers/distributors* and/or other aspects of the Foodie/Bevvie universe. Just soo much to chat with this gent about.

About glasses… I usually go for port or sherry in shot glasses. Something about wanting to be closer to the source for sniffysniffing. Hm. Definitely will tend to having sake in a wine glass from now on, especially if not heated.

Great 2 part episode. Really enjoyed the guest this time Gary.

QOTD : 3 years ago I had a Malbec and decided I wanted to learn everything I could about wine. It blew me away.

BADASS SHOW !!! Enjoyed it. I have never had Saki before and I am going this weekend to buy a bottle because of this show and this show alone.

QOTD: Drinking a Sam Smith Oatmeal stout after a day skiing in Big Sky Montana. From that day forward I was hooked on quality beer.

fwiw, I am really interested in learning to brew sake to supplement making beer and wine.

Awesome 2-part series – by far one of my favorites, will likely watch it several times. I’m an entrepreneur so it’s inspiring to see other like-minded individuals passionate about their vision.

QOTD: About 2 years ago I tasted my first Belgian Abby Ale brewed with wild yeast…been crazy about it since.

Cheers,

Awesome!
Mostly beer in my college days. I had to have every different beer in the store. And I still do.
Of coarse now it’s wine but it’ll put me in the poor house.
