  • Mas Tequilla

    When I started of my Summer of Agave, I really had no idea of what kind of rabbit hole I was getting in to, or how far down it i would find myself. This week I attempt to give some closure to my Tequilla rantings. Also I talk about a great documentary about Tequilla that I watched recently, and recommend some great Mexican music to listen to while drinking tequila.

  • Tequila Virtues

    This is the episode that I had to re record after it got absorbed in to my attempt to talk about Redwood Empire last week. So here is me, ranting about virtuous Instagram Tequilla "experts". Along the way I am tasting some interesting and delicious Tequillas. It is the start of my Summer of Agave.

  • Revisiting Redwood

    After a couple weeks of ranting about Tequilla,  I received a box of goodies from my friends at Redwood Empire. So, I decided it was time to revisit one of my favorite brands of Whiskey and have a nice calm episode of tasting some great offerings.

  • More Agave Part 2

    This is part 2, of what I promise, is my last Agave rant. For a little while at least, though it does seem to be the gift that keeps on giving. By the way, I'm also tasting some delicious Mezcals.

  • More Agave Part 1
    I thought I was done with talking about Tequilla and Agave spirits, but then I came across more articles, and an Instagram "expert" on the matter, so I got more irritated, and here we are. And it got me so riled up, that I had to divide the episode up in to 2 parts. So here is part 1. By the way, I'm also tasting some delicious Mezcals.

  • Talking Tequila
    This weeks episode is truly inspired by you listeners. After a few of you sent me tequila related articles, and i read a few others, i seized the opportunity to taste some good Tequilla. This also led to me ranting about lazy jounalism, but also lazy humans that read these articles with blind acceptance. And as prepared as o thought i was, i still went off the rails.

  • Dance Like Nobody Is Watching
    On this week's episode I go a little further down the Bob Dylan rabbit hole, talking about the Book Chronicle by Dylan and the documentary Rolling Thunder Review, directed by Martin Scorsese. I'm also tasting 4 different expressions of Dylans Heavens Door Whiskey. All with a reminder to dance like nobody is watching.

  • Got Alot To Say
    Some weeks, i really ponder what I am going to discuss on the podcast, fearing that I wont be able to talk for an hour. This was not one of those weeks. This week I am talking about the good week I had visiting Glenpharmer Distillery, hanging out with the folks from Redwood Empire, and a night of dinner and qine with new friends. All while tasting spirits from GlenPharmer and Litchfield Distillery. this one also gets a little deep. It was alot of fun to record this one.

  • The Devil Wants His Due
    On this weeks episode, I am tasting wine and talking about wine pairings for Easter Dinner. I am also talking about the metaphorical "devil" coming to collect his due in the world of spirits, as brands start to file for bankruptcy. Then, I get in a quick mention of a fascinating book that I just finished about Charlie Chaplin. Did I mention that I also tasted a couple of Tequilas that I brought back from my recent getaway to Hampton Beach. This one really was alot of fun for me.If you like what I am doing here go to the podcast page and click the follow button and give it a rating.
