    That ruckin rocked!!
    Loved the science (got a little bit of nerd in me, too) and the technical aspect she brought to the discussion. Your interviewing skills are greatly improving, sir.

    I totally want to try sabering not only bubbles but a wide array of things.

    Wow, EPIC ending, I just wish I knew what her question for us is? Surely not wine related since she is Yoda & Obi Wan combined. Holy crap!

    Amazing guest, amazing episode.

    Sabering a bottle is a cool stunt. Only do it under adult supervision, Gary. (As a bonus, I’ve never seen anyone go from terrified to delighted as quickly.)

    Gary and Jennifer,

    That was really a fun show! I’ve seen the sabering done in person and it is very impressive – and it does not always work.

    Listening to Jennifer discuss the chemistry of wine reminds me of listening to Alton Brown explain the science of baking/cooking – very entertaining!

    Question: does decanting help only high-end sparklers like the $150 bottles on this episide? Or would it also help sparkling wines in lower price categories, say $25 to $40?
