Great show Gary. When you get around to the South Korea show can you do some wines that aren’t only available on Base? I am an English teacher at publics schools here and don’t have great access to the base myself.

Loved the Absinthe lesson and I am looking for a bottle at my local beverage shop here in Seoul.

Keep the thunder rolling!

VERY interesting show

VERY interesting show

Excellent subject. I was waiting on a review of the VC absinthe before I purchased. Thanks guys!

I learned stuff!!! Awesome. Had my first absinthe this summer in NOLA and really liked it but I’m way into licorice. QOTD: Greenland obviously.

Interesting show GV! I am way behind in my episodes, but I am going to catch up. I have had Absinthe before and I would not call my self a fan, however variety is always a pleasure.

QOTD – Australia. If that does not count because it is also a continent – Somalia.

Everything you have done has been great,but,here in Michigan we cannot get alot of the items that you critique,especially “Absinthe”,Wowwwwwwwwwww.A fair amount our cutomers come in and ask for items that you have on the show,and mention that they went on-line and bought them,(I can’t remember all of them),and then ask if we can get them.we can’t.
Anyway,keep up the awesome work,maybe you’ll take the show on the road?

Fascinating show – very educational, very interesting. I doubt that I would actually like Absinthe since I am not a big licorice fan, but still a very nice show. And Gary generally let the guest do most of the talking which was nice for a change. 🙂

Nice job Brian!

Nice job Brian!

Ahah,..ok I get you..a little research turns up that the bards and babes of yesteryears added a few drops of Laudenum to their drinks.. basically junkies 🙂 seems to follow the treand of the rich talented and infamous eh..heh heh heh..:)
I just went to the liquor store and got a bottl3 eof red rot gut Czek vodka, coloring and artificial flavours..educating the manager tomorrow..

Awesome episode and great guest. I serve Absinthe tableside in the traditional manner where I work, and guests get a kick out of it. Definitely an underrated digestif that still has a slightly tarnished reputation from all the stories Brian mentioned, so I love turning it on to guests.
Qotd: If we’re going with a contiguous area, wouldn’t that be Australia? I’m guessing Chile would be #2

Good show on Absinthe. Ne pas en boire trop! Et rarement c’est mieux.
