In this episode I visit with John Fodera of Tuscan Vines and we talk about what he's doing to bring more Italian wine and wine knowledge to his followers on social media and his website blog.  Then we get into Brunello di Montalcino, one of our favorite wines and grape varietals - Sangiovese.  We talk about the history of this region, the requirements of the grape, the aging of the wine before release and the 2015 and 2016 vintages.  2015 is thought to be one of the best seasons in Italy and 2016 is right there with it.  This is a great listen if you'd like to learn a little more about Brunello di Montalcino.

Texas Star Grill Shop is new to Katy, they now have four locations around the area.  We sit down with Pete and Ernie from TSGS to talk about what they offer the backyard cooks in the Houston area, and they have some really cool cooking rigs.  As we roll into  fall there's nothing better than being in the backyard cooking, hanging with friends and family as we enjoy the great weather and some football.

This episode I'm joined by Matt Carter, Luis Baston, Chris Francis and Glenn Burnett.  We start the show with a fun blind and then move into Wild Turkey Russel's Reserve.  Russel Reserve is a great product that is a single barrel and always on a shelf.  It's also a bourbon that you can find a store pick or group pick and in this episode we taste through 5 RR picks from Chicago, Houston, Louisiana, Mississippi and South Carolina. As in all our shows, when we talk bourbon we always get into conversations on other products and this episode is no different.  Fun show and conversation and worth the listen.

Ernie and Dave join me on this episode as we talk about Wild Turkey.  There's so much to get into with a topic like Turkey Talk so this conversation covers quite a bit in a hour. Deeper dive will come on a follow up episode.  Here Ernie shares some of the history of Turkey, the Russell family, we talk about the solid products that should be in everyone's home bar and we talk and drink a little on some Dusty's.
