Speaker 1: My friend Crystal Alfonso. You may have heard of her
Speaker 1: as the wine yogi. What is happening with that? There's
Speaker 1: something you're not weird going on? That is that okay?
Speaker 2: Is that comfortable? I just I can't look at you.
Speaker 2: That's okay. Nobody wants to look at me anyway.
Speaker 1: By the way, fun fat if you've seen the stories
Speaker 1: about Barry Weis running CBS News into the ground, CBS
Speaker 1: News on Monday Night drew six point four million viewers,
Speaker 1: largest audience since twenty twenty one.
Speaker 2: Interesting, Hi their win Yogi. I just wanted to throw
Speaker 2: that in there.
Speaker 1: I have the answer one question from the text line
Speaker 1: because it has asked me anything on cold weekends. Does
Speaker 1: Mandy get dressed or does she lounge around all weekend
Speaker 1: in sleep or fat pants? Okay, guys, I just discovered
Speaker 1: a website called American Tall, and I bought my first
Speaker 1: pair of sweatpants in my entire life that go all
Speaker 1: the way down.
Speaker 2: To my feet.
Speaker 1: So I have been living in those sweatpants because they
Speaker 1: go all the way to my feet. And for normal
Speaker 1: sized people who don't have a really long en seam,
Speaker 1: that's no big deal.
Speaker 2: For me, game changing.
Speaker 3: I've offered multiple times to give you all of my
Speaker 3: length because I am on the other side.
Speaker 2: In fact, I'm wearing my capri pants that are normal
Speaker 2: linked for me.
Speaker 1: There you go, There you go. Okay, so let's go.
Speaker 1: First of all, we've got to talk. Let's go backwards
Speaker 1: in your blog. Let's start at the bottom because football
Speaker 1: football football.
Speaker 2: Many of you may not know. I got Stiddy City
Speaker 2: on there too, But.
Speaker 1: The wine yog is a huge, not bandwagon, huge, real,
Speaker 1: honest god bleeds Orange and Blue Broncos fan.
Speaker 2: Yes, even when they suck, even when they sucked a
Speaker 2: lot of money to go see him losing a in Vegas.
Speaker 3: Yeah, with rest and Nathaniel Hackett. That's money not well spent.
Speaker 3: But we were in Vegas, so we still had a
Speaker 3: good time.
Speaker 2: There you go.
Speaker 1: So you have some fancy wine pairings for football food.
Speaker 2: I wouldn't call him.
Speaker 3: Fancy, but I just you know, especially as I drink.
Speaker 2: Wine when I watched the Broncos.
Speaker 3: I'm not going to repeat what I drank during the
Speaker 3: Super Bowl fifty run because that's from a winery that
Speaker 3: I will not support because Gavin Newsom is part owner.
Speaker 1: Oh doesn't that suck? My favorite barbecue joint in the South.
Speaker 1: Sunnis are you famili with Sunday Familiar? Sonnis is owned
Speaker 1: by the Yarmouth family John Yarmouth he now, thank god,
Speaker 1: former Congressman John Yarmouth. When I found that out, I
Speaker 1: was like, I can't eat his Sonnies anymore, and they
Speaker 1: have the best beans.
Speaker 3: Well it was plump jack And actually I can't drink
Speaker 3: California wine really anymore anyway, and so.
Speaker 2: It tastes like bitterness and greed envy. Yeah, it was
Speaker 2: way over price.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So but I still have the bottle of when we,
Speaker 3: you know, won Super Bowl fifty, So there is that.
Speaker 1: I like, can you stick with the same types of
Speaker 1: wine just to keep the juju going?
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying? Like, actually, you know this
Speaker 2: last bit.
Speaker 3: Pretty much following the JAG's loss, I started drinking Colorado
Speaker 3: wines just because I was trying to like kind of yeah,
Speaker 3: trying to like channel some really positive Colorado you know energy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and so I'm gonna stick with that.
Speaker 3: Okay, so far it's it's it's been working and so yeah,
Speaker 3: and you don't eat during the game.
Speaker 2: I don't. I never knew that. I figured you would
Speaker 2: have like a whole spread. No, my god, no, my stomach.
Speaker 4: No.
Speaker 2: Well this team yeah, well and you know this kind.
Speaker 3: Of started I would say probably with the tee Bow years,
Speaker 3: and well Peyton Manning kind of continued to it. There
Speaker 3: was probably a period there right up until Raheem Moore
Speaker 3: got toasted on against the Ravens that I probably could
Speaker 3: have eaten with, you know.
Speaker 2: The Peyton Manning.
Speaker 3: Days where we were just dominating everything. But yeah, the
Speaker 3: Super Bowl fifty run, the tee Bow years, all of
Speaker 3: that just kind of ruined my appetite. So I eat
Speaker 3: before like there you go many hours before and I
Speaker 3: eat the same thing, and then what is the same
Speaker 3: thing that you eat? I know it's very trashy of me, though,
Speaker 3: but it's every time.
Speaker 2: So if it works, it works.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: But I can't say it on air because I don't
Speaker 2: want to run it. Stop it. You have to say it. Oh,
Speaker 2: come on it. What if we all ate it?
Speaker 3: And No, that's not bere that is not how being
Speaker 3: a superstitious works.
Speaker 1: No, okay, I'm just saying, maybe you just share the
Speaker 1: superstition on that.
Speaker 2: I love you with super Bowl I'll share it.
Speaker 1: I love the fact that you are pairing a delightful
Speaker 1: Rose with wings because I love Rose with wings even
Speaker 1: though Rose doesn't love me.
Speaker 3: Well, you know, it's really just kind of want to
Speaker 3: think about, like particularly your level of heat when you
Speaker 3: are pairing wines, and what you want to avoid is
Speaker 3: a super big, bold red wine that has like a
Speaker 3: lot of tannic structure, So think California reds, whether it's.
Speaker 2: Smurlow, cap sav blends.
Speaker 3: You don't want those with spicy food unless you like
Speaker 3: the cap sation and want that intensified because because they
Speaker 3: just compete, well, no tannins will intensify, oh the spice level.
Speaker 3: So if you're already having City of Dry repped or
Speaker 3: actually like you know, the a spicy wing sauce, right, you.
Speaker 2: Definitely want to kind of avoid those.
Speaker 3: You want to go with wines that tend to have
Speaker 3: more fruit forward happening what some might call and describe
Speaker 3: as this is sweet, although it's technically not sweet, it's
Speaker 3: not residual sugar. It's just they're so fruity that it
Speaker 3: won't it won't intensify the capsation. In fact, it will
Speaker 3: balance it out and it will complement it.
Speaker 2: If you have all of those, think about.
Speaker 3: Like when you have spicy barbecue like ribs, and you
Speaker 3: have like a barbecue sauce that has cherry in it,
Speaker 3: so that cherry kind of balances out the heats from
Speaker 3: whether it's a chili powder or red chili flakes or
Speaker 3: any type of pepper that's been added into the barbecue sauce.
Speaker 3: So that's why so sweet cancels out heat. They okay,
Speaker 3: And so that's but tannic's tannic structure. Tannins from the
Speaker 3: seeds and skins of your wine, the things that dry
Speaker 3: your mouth out. Because your mouth is now dry, the
Speaker 3: heat is just going to explode in your mouth.
Speaker 1: I had no idea, no clue whatsoever. You have a
Speaker 1: red wine with pizza though, pizza on study. I got
Speaker 1: to tell you, if you're going to order a pizza
Speaker 1: for de I'm guessing that's going to be like our
Speaker 1: hour and a half.
Speaker 3: Most places, we always that's what that is, our postgame celebration.
Speaker 2: We will enjoy and so we don't care at that
Speaker 2: point do you order it.
Speaker 1: Before the game is over? There is that premature jocularity
Speaker 1: you'd the whole thing?
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, okay, I pretty much watch I listened to
Speaker 3: Dave Logan in my ears, so I'm a few minutes
Speaker 3: behind what's happening on the TV. I can't even watch
Speaker 3: I have I'm like oftentimes I've like got my fingers
Speaker 3: double crossed, I'm bent over and I've got fingers in
Speaker 3: front of my eyes and I'm just praying.
Speaker 2: Again.
Speaker 3: You were talking about, you know, your prayers, but mine
Speaker 3: it is like kind of more that positive energy of
Speaker 3: you know, you know, please please make this happen, and
Speaker 3: then at the last minute, I'll like glance up and stuff.
Speaker 3: But yeah, no, I'm very superstitious when it comes to sports.
Speaker 3: This started when I was a kid in nineteen eighty
Speaker 3: three and my nc State, which was my basketball team,
Speaker 3: went and won NCUAA championship. That's when all of the
Speaker 3: weirdness of I can't watch started And so I was
Speaker 3: twelve years old and I've always been that way ever since.
Speaker 2: But yes, going back to.
Speaker 3: The food, uh, Multiplaciano d Bruzzo is a very light
Speaker 3: Italian wine, so the grape is Multiplciano, and then Abruzzo
Speaker 3: is a region on the Adriatic side of Italy, and
Speaker 3: so it's a very hot and dry area. So a
Speaker 3: lot of their food, their red sauces tend to be
Speaker 3: very spicy because you know, in hot climates the food
Speaker 3: grows and the food tends.
Speaker 2: To be hotter because it makes you sweat.
Speaker 3: So that wine is naturally suited if you're gonna have
Speaker 3: spicier food. So whether it's you know, spicy brats or
Speaker 3: you know, any type of spicy barbecue, or even like
Speaker 3: you know, whether you're doing like I think I mentioned nachos.
Speaker 2: At the beginning, Yeah, you mentioned that.
Speaker 3: Now I'm like, oh, I should make nachos with not
Speaker 3: you know, nachos are chili or especially since how cold
Speaker 3: it's going to be that multipuciano de bruzzo, because it's
Speaker 3: not there.
Speaker 2: It has minimal tan, it has a lot of acidity.
Speaker 3: Acidity only only enhances the food that you're enjoying. And
Speaker 3: if you're having anything that's cheesy, say nacho's or pizza,
Speaker 3: it helps cut through all of the heaviness of the
Speaker 3: dough and the cheese and the fat, and the acid
Speaker 3: is going to cut through that, making it a lot
Speaker 3: lighter on your palate and a lot lighter in your
Speaker 3: stomach and get your digestion going quicker.
Speaker 2: Jared has a request.
Speaker 1: We need a good recommendation for an orange wine.
Speaker 3: So skin contact is always fun. So that is a
Speaker 3: white wine that's had skin contact. So thank Chardonnay that
Speaker 3: instead of racking the grape must immediately off of the
Speaker 3: skins once they they have pressed it, they actually allow
Speaker 3: it to remain in contact for a bit.
Speaker 2: Funny called orange water. They are orange in color. They
Speaker 2: are they do instead of having kind of I thought
Speaker 2: that was wine made out of oranges. Now I'm not kidding.
Speaker 3: No, I brought one in years and years ago. I
Speaker 3: brought one in and it's different. I ascribe orange wines.
Speaker 3: If you like sour beers, you probably would like us nobly, No,
Speaker 3: you did not know you would like an orange wine
Speaker 3: because to me, it's it really amps up the the
Speaker 3: the acid side of the wine itself because it is
Speaker 3: staying in contact with those skins for so long. So
Speaker 3: unlike red wine that has skin contact, which will increase tannins,
Speaker 3: orange wines tend to have more of that acid level
Speaker 3: kind of pop up a little bit more.
Speaker 2: I have had some really good ones.
Speaker 3: The best one that I had actually recently was a
Speaker 3: non alcoholic sparkling orange wine and it's fabulous from sov
Speaker 3: a sov I you can't get you have to order
Speaker 3: it online so you can get it before Sunday. But
Speaker 3: it was absolutely fantastic. I would not have guessed that
Speaker 3: was not alcoholic. It was so good and all right,
Speaker 3: but there are some really good orange wines out there.
Speaker 3: Good to a quality wine store, not liquor store, because
Speaker 3: you're not going to probably find your better orange wines.
Speaker 3: But go to a good quality local wine shop and
Speaker 3: I bet you they can point you in the right direction.
Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about Valentine's Day. I just mentioned
Speaker 1: if you haven't made your reserme for Valentine's Day.
Speaker 2: You are late and you have.
Speaker 1: Some really First of all, you've got some great information
Speaker 1: about Saint Valentine that I had no idea about.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so apparently there's a lot of confusion pretty early on,
Speaker 3: talking like fourth century as when Saint Valentine was martyred
Speaker 3: in Rome, so still at the time before the Roman
Speaker 3: Empire converted to Christianity, but he was still marrying people Christians,
Speaker 3: even though that it was completely illegal, and so that's
Speaker 3: why he's always associated kind of with love. And he
Speaker 3: was murdered on February fourteenth. So there in the early
Speaker 3: days of the church, they canonized him because of you
Speaker 3: know what he continued to do, and martyrs were treated
Speaker 3: different than the Catholic Church when you're martyred for the faith.
Speaker 2: So, but he has.
Speaker 3: Since now because there's confusion over who it actually was.
Speaker 3: There's two gentlemen that they've been Saint Valentine. In nineteen
Speaker 3: sixty nine, they actually kind of removed him as an
Speaker 3: official calendar day, but he is still considered a saint
Speaker 3: in the Catholic Church.
Speaker 2: Did they treat him like Neptune?
Speaker 1: Noh, pluto, excuse me, they just kicked him out.
Speaker 2: They just made him not a planet. No, it's just
Speaker 2: not on the calendar. Okay, how is he not on
Speaker 2: the calendar? He literally has a day.
Speaker 3: He does have a day, so I mean technically still
Speaker 3: lists okay because of Hallmark.
Speaker 1: Not only do you have a couple of things coming up.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about Wind and Restore really quickly before we
Speaker 1: run out of time.
Speaker 2: So wine in Restore.
Speaker 3: My girlfriend Carl, her name is Caroline, but she's also
Speaker 3: a somalier and ashtanga yoga instructor. We're going to be
Speaker 3: hosting a wine and yoga pairing at Yoga Studiosatya down
Speaker 3: in the Springs.
Speaker 2: The day before the Super Bowl.
Speaker 3: Hopefully we will all be in a great mood because
Speaker 3: the Broncos will be playing the next day. But it's
Speaker 3: all about connecting, connecting with the heart. It's going to
Speaker 3: be a gentle practice, lots of props, perfect for someone
Speaker 3: who's never done yoga or for a beginner, and.
Speaker 1: The wine drinking comes after the yoga class.
Speaker 3: Through it's throughout, but because we're doing it with props,
Speaker 3: we're going to teach you about alternate nostril breathing, about
Speaker 3: about how each side of your nose will smell different
Speaker 3: things in wines.
Speaker 2: You'll get to explore yourself.
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna say that when Crystal told me, that
Speaker 1: was one of the first things that she told me
Speaker 1: when we first met.
Speaker 2: And we're talking about this, and I was like what.
Speaker 2: And then I sat.
Speaker 1: Here holding one nostril smelling wine and then holding the
Speaker 1: other nostril, and it was.
Speaker 2: Like son of a biscuit eater.
Speaker 1: She's right, you smell things completely different, but out of
Speaker 1: both nostrils you get the full picture exactly.
Speaker 3: So it's just a it's a fun experience of sensory exploration.
Speaker 3: It's a great way it's going to be focused on
Speaker 3: couples yoga, so partner yoga, but you're going to be seated.
Speaker 3: No handstands unless you're gonna do them on your own time,
Speaker 3: but you'll be seated the whole time, and we'll talk
Speaker 3: about each wine why we selected those lines. We're gonna
Speaker 3: have some non alcoholic wines, some local Colorado wines, and
Speaker 3: then some wines that we just really love.
Speaker 2: Their kind of perfect new world in our world. All right.
Speaker 1: One of the things you did put on the blog
Speaker 1: today was Carboys Dinner for two.
Speaker 2: Yes, that looks kind of cool.
Speaker 1: Carbo Winery, I have to say, I feel like they
Speaker 1: are in the Denver metro, probably the face of Colorado
Speaker 1: wine for a lot of people.
Speaker 3: I would say so them and Blanchard, But Carboy has
Speaker 3: a lot more, several more locations. They're getting ready to
Speaker 3: open another location up down in Colorado Springs.
Speaker 2: So I'm cool. I'm totally stoked about.
Speaker 3: And Kevin said he'll come on and talk about all
Speaker 3: they got going on whenever you're ready to have. But
Speaker 3: they the Carboy Wine dinner for two on Valentin's Day
Speaker 3: is going to be at their Littleton location, but you
Speaker 3: can also find.
Speaker 2: Carboy at Breckenridge. That's how I first discover them.
Speaker 3: But they also have a Carboy location in downtown Dinbear,
Speaker 3: so they are all over and they also they have
Speaker 3: their vineyard actually out at Garfield Estates and Palisade, which
Speaker 3: is beautiful if you're over there, and they do a
Speaker 3: lot of stuff over there, including like vin and Vinyasset
Speaker 3: that is one where you will do a yoga practice
Speaker 3: and then have a glass of wine after well.
Speaker 1: The then you looks phenomenal and it's seventy five bucks
Speaker 1: a person, which I think is extremely reasonable for a
Speaker 1: dinner with wine pairing, yes with every course.
Speaker 2: So you're gonna want to.
Speaker 3: Go to Carboy in Littleton and I've done their wine
Speaker 3: dinners there in Littleton and they're fantastic.
Speaker 2: I highly recommend five stars.
Speaker 1: And then if you want to go, you ray. They've
Speaker 1: got a wine festival in the middle of winter. Always
Speaker 1: winter wine festivals. This is our third year going.
Speaker 3: It's always on my birthday weekend, so that's why my
Speaker 3: husband make sure he always gets his trips. He's not
Speaker 3: on a trip and so yeah, we're going to head
Speaker 3: out and it's all local Colorado winemakers come and bring
Speaker 3: them poor it's very small, very intimate. I absolutely love
Speaker 3: it because you really get to It's not like some
Speaker 3: of the bigger wine festivals where you stand in line
Speaker 3: for a really long time and then you don't get
Speaker 3: to talk to the winemaker because it's so crowd and
Speaker 3: so packed. Because it's in the right opera house, it's
Speaker 3: limited in size and so you can you can really
Speaker 3: talk to all of the reps, the winemakers themselves, they
Speaker 3: are coming through and all of they have some distilleries
Speaker 3: coming in, some cider makers coming in.
Speaker 1: So is this primarily Colorado or is it all of
Speaker 1: our Colorado?
Speaker 3: It's all Colorado fantastic and the sideries, the distillers, on
Speaker 3: the winemakers.
Speaker 1: One of the big things I hear when you come
Speaker 1: on the show is where can we buy this stuff?
Speaker 1: And a lot of this stuff you can only buy
Speaker 1: directly from the winery. So if you do go to
Speaker 1: a wine festival, well, either the you know, wine walk
Speaker 1: downtown or any of these things, that's a great opportunity
Speaker 1: for you to find a lot about these different wines
Speaker 1: and have.
Speaker 2: That plantered family wines.
Speaker 3: They're doing some stuff for Valentine's Day too as well,
Speaker 3: and they have a lot of those local wines that
Speaker 3: I will often talk about. Also a lot of your
Speaker 3: smaller winemakers like Storm Cellar, Fallen Mountain. They're starting to
Speaker 3: get into restaurants and into retail stores. So we have
Speaker 3: our Colorado collection at the Wine Gallery is continuing to expand.
Speaker 3: So you can always check out the Wine Gallery if
Speaker 3: you're looking for particular you know Colorado wines.
Speaker 1: There you go, This texter said, Hi wine yogi. Depending
Speaker 1: on your provider, you can pause the live stream of
Speaker 1: the show of the TV and sync it up to Dave.
Speaker 2: I have Exfinity and it works awesome.
Speaker 3: Yew. My husband is never going to do that. Why
Speaker 3: because then I would be in control of everything. Okay,
Speaker 3: So I give him his space. It's all about compromise.
Speaker 2: I don't know Mandy, Josh Salem, who's Josh?
Speaker 1: What what does that mean? I don't even know what
Speaker 1: that means. Now Sometimes you people text things and I
Speaker 1: have no clue. All right, here's what we're gonna do.

Speaker 1: I don't know the answer this question. Oh oh well.
Speaker 2: This is interesting.
Speaker 1: Dutch and German settlers in North America came up with
Speaker 1: the name craneberry because the plant's blossoms resembled the neck
Speaker 1: and head of a crane.

Speaker 1: have not done well on the show on that one.
Speaker 2: Oh well to the Broncos.
