Dave reconnects with a friend he hasn't seen in years, author of the newly released book ‘Smart Mouth’ and founder of RAMONA beverages, Jordan Salcito (0:01). The duo discusses the best wines in the world, the trick to blind tasting, and why Dave might just have to move to France. Dave answers a new Ask Dave about when to splurge on a restaurant (53:25), and prepares a braised oxtail dish in response to a previous Ask Dave (1:01:23).
