On this episode I'm joined by Carter and Leo for some Bourbon Talk.  While we discuss various topics in the world of bourbon we are also sipping on some Eagle Rare.  

Some of the topics we discuss are - Has bourbon peaked?  Where have the store picks gone?  Secondary prices are falling?  Is the bourbon market oversaturated with NDP's and Craft Distilleries? among other topics.

The Eagle Rare is 3 bottles that are picks from 3 different stores, Ryan's Liquor, Twin Liquor and Longhorn Liquor.  Carter, Leo and myself picked the Ryan's liquor, we thought it'd be fun to put it in a blind and see how it shows against two other picks we know are pretty good.

On this episode I'm joined by my wife Sandra and we discuss our food, wine & whiskey journey in 2023.  She flips the script in this episode and asks me questions on our experience in each of these categories.  

2023 was a great year for us - we explored so many new wines and foods.  I had to apologize to the French, big apology.  And we touched on coffee, which will become more of a topic on the show.   We finish by touching on a few goals for the podcast in 2024.

On this episode I'm joined by Italian wine journalist John Fodera of Tuscan Vines.  John covers all of Italy but as you can see by the name of his online publication Tuscany is a focal point for him.

We discuss this years harvest and the difficulty producers had.  The 2019 release of Brunello di Montalcino, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano as well as the Rustic Tuscan wine tours that John and his partner offer.  If you are interested in Italian wines this is a great listen.
