WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:02.680 You can call her the Winioga as well. She's there. 2 00:00:03.080 --> 00:00:08.359 She just brought in two spectacular wines and I found 3 00:00:08.400 --> 00:00:11.279 out one of them is actually a gold medal winner 4 00:00:11.320 --> 00:00:12.960 for the Governor's Cup, and we're going to talk about 5 00:00:13.000 --> 00:00:16.839 that in just a moment. But Oktoberfest right around the corner. 6 00:00:17.039 --> 00:00:18.280 Yeah, I can't believe we're already hear. 7 00:00:18.399 --> 00:00:18.600 I know. 8 00:00:18.679 --> 00:00:21.760 And Octoberfest always gets confused because it takes place in September. 9 00:00:21.920 --> 00:00:24.519 Yeah, so you know, German translations. 10 00:00:24.600 --> 00:00:27.800 Whatever, It's fine, it's fine. So you just went to Germany, though, 11 00:00:27.839 --> 00:00:28.160 I did. 12 00:00:28.440 --> 00:00:28.719 You did? 13 00:00:28.879 --> 00:00:31.760 She just did the same trip on a different line 14 00:00:31.920 --> 00:00:35.159 that we're doing for the Mandy Connell Adventure and starting 15 00:00:35.159 --> 00:00:38.320 out in Switzerland, yes, and then going and going up 16 00:00:38.359 --> 00:00:43.000 the Rhine to Amsterdam. Yes. Somebody said in earlier and said, 17 00:00:43.119 --> 00:00:46.439 what is something on that trip that maybe is off 18 00:00:46.520 --> 00:00:48.240 the beaten path or that we should look for or 19 00:00:48.320 --> 00:00:50.560 know about? That you did? And I got to tell you. 20 00:00:50.600 --> 00:00:53.920 For me, it's the vinegar thing. But I'm torn because 21 00:00:53.920 --> 00:00:56.759 I would love to do a vinegar tour. Chuck hates vinegar, and. 22 00:00:57.000 --> 00:00:58.280 I don't know, I don't know if you guys are 23 00:00:58.320 --> 00:00:59.840 going to be stopping in that same place where you 24 00:00:59.840 --> 00:01:00.920 can go to that vinegar. 25 00:01:01.039 --> 00:01:03.840 Yes, but that's the Heidelberg stop, isn't it. It is. 26 00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:06.560 We ended up taking a coach to Heidelberg. Yeah, so 27 00:01:06.599 --> 00:01:08.599 I don't know if there's if like they will still 28 00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:10.319 have that because it's out in the middle of nowhere, 29 00:01:10.719 --> 00:01:13.000 in the middle of vineyards and stuff like that, because 30 00:01:13.000 --> 00:01:17.200 it's they're making vinegar so from grape must Oh my gosh. Yeah, 31 00:01:17.359 --> 00:01:20.359 that was absolutely amazing. And then so that would be 32 00:01:20.439 --> 00:01:22.599 along the Heidelberg stop. And while it's not off the 33 00:01:22.640 --> 00:01:26.239 beaten path Cologne if you've never been to Cologne, we 34 00:01:26.280 --> 00:01:27.319 were just mesmerized. 35 00:01:27.359 --> 00:01:28.920 We were fortunate enough to be there. 36 00:01:29.120 --> 00:01:31.560 Well, it was kind of a catch twenty two, so 37 00:01:31.560 --> 00:01:33.799 we were blessed to be there when they it was 38 00:01:33.920 --> 00:01:37.159 a holy day of obligation. I tried with my best 39 00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:39.400 German to say, we're Catholic so we could go in 40 00:01:39.480 --> 00:01:42.319 for the Mass, but we weren't allowed because it was 41 00:01:42.359 --> 00:01:45.319 basically for all of the local right rushes. But they 42 00:01:45.400 --> 00:01:49.719 had everything was taking place outside and they had just 43 00:01:49.719 --> 00:01:53.959 the most i mean, angelic, beautiful music just kind of 44 00:01:54.040 --> 00:01:58.159 soaring up out into the universe. And as you were 45 00:01:58.159 --> 00:02:01.599 walking around Old town Cologne, just hearing this gorgeous music 46 00:02:01.760 --> 00:02:05.439 and then the bells started ringing and that cologne was 47 00:02:05.760 --> 00:02:06.840 absolutely stunning. 48 00:02:07.200 --> 00:02:08.719 To see the dome and cologne. 49 00:02:08.840 --> 00:02:10.560 I would We're definitely going to go back at some 50 00:02:10.639 --> 00:02:12.599 point because we've got to get inside to see it, 51 00:02:13.080 --> 00:02:16.560 and I you know, five stars, we'd do again. In fact, 52 00:02:16.599 --> 00:02:19.639 I'm doing the Dan you've been in April well, and. 53 00:02:19.560 --> 00:02:21.120 I got to tell you, guys, I talked to cruise 54 00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:24.120 into our last week and we're like three quarters sold 55 00:02:24.360 --> 00:02:26.400 if we haven't even done the advertising yet. So if 56 00:02:26.400 --> 00:02:28.800 you want to go with us, we're going in October 57 00:02:28.840 --> 00:02:31.840 of twenty twenty six. We're going on Emerald, which is 58 00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:33.960 a different cruise line. All of the river cruise lines 59 00:02:33.960 --> 00:02:37.879 are spectacular, and Cruise in Tour finds spectacular cruise lines, 60 00:02:37.919 --> 00:02:40.599 so it's a really good one and we're going in 61 00:02:40.599 --> 00:02:42.719 October of next year. You can go to Mandy Connell 62 00:02:42.719 --> 00:02:44.360 trip dot com and find out more. But if you're 63 00:02:44.400 --> 00:02:46.319 thinking about it, I will go ahead and throw a 64 00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:49.039 deposit now, because I mean we may be able to 65 00:02:49.080 --> 00:02:52.599 add some cabins, but we are three quarters with all 66 00:02:52.680 --> 00:02:54.759 former travelers, and I'm just gonna say this, not that 67 00:02:54.800 --> 00:02:56.879 I don't love all of our travelers. We got some 68 00:02:56.960 --> 00:02:59.680 good ones already on this one, some of my favorite 69 00:02:59.719 --> 00:03:00.719 people to travel. 70 00:03:00.759 --> 00:03:01.719 I would have loved to have done it. 71 00:03:01.759 --> 00:03:04.000 But we're going to be doing Naples the month before, 72 00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:05.919 like I would get back and then I write back 73 00:03:05.960 --> 00:03:06.840 around and go back over. 74 00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:08.960 So, and my mom's going on this trip with us. 75 00:03:08.960 --> 00:03:10.599 I was excited about I and the cue It'll be 76 00:03:10.599 --> 00:03:12.520 the cuees last trip with us because she's going to 77 00:03:12.520 --> 00:03:15.360 be in college after that. So let's talk about Octoberfest. 78 00:03:15.360 --> 00:03:18.039 I thought you're little on by the way, every time 79 00:03:18.080 --> 00:03:19.840 Crystal's on the show, she does a really good blog 80 00:03:19.879 --> 00:03:22.199 post that has all the information about everything we talk 81 00:03:22.240 --> 00:03:24.759 about on the show and the wine. So if you're 82 00:03:24.840 --> 00:03:26.280 driving and you want to know about the wines that 83 00:03:26.280 --> 00:03:27.960 we're about to talk about, you can do that as well. 84 00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:29.840 But you have a nice history of Octoberfest. 85 00:03:30.199 --> 00:03:34.080 And so yeah, in eighteen ten, you had a couple 86 00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:37.400 of German monarchs get married, and so they decided that 87 00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:40.280 they would spend the entire month in Munich. So they 88 00:03:40.280 --> 00:03:44.000 were Bavarian nobility, and they spent the entire month of 89 00:03:44.039 --> 00:03:47.240 September partying like it was I don't know, eighteen ten, 90 00:03:48.199 --> 00:03:51.080 and so it just kind of just took hold. It's 91 00:03:51.080 --> 00:03:52.800 at the end if you think about it, it's at the end. 92 00:03:52.759 --> 00:03:53.800 Of harvest YEP. 93 00:03:54.199 --> 00:03:57.319 People have been out working and to bring in the harvest, 94 00:03:57.360 --> 00:04:01.120 you know, backbreaking work and take a moment to reap 95 00:04:01.159 --> 00:04:04.400 the rewards of everything. And so obviously when you are 96 00:04:04.439 --> 00:04:07.560 talking about beer and that is kind of in Munich again, 97 00:04:07.639 --> 00:04:12.000 that's another life ambition, is to actually hit Octoberfest in Munich. 98 00:04:13.360 --> 00:04:16.319 It's it's a big celebration and it's a great time 99 00:04:16.360 --> 00:04:19.600 of music. If you like to polka, I love to polka? 100 00:04:20.079 --> 00:04:23.040 Does you good Polka? I mean that how long you 101 00:04:23.079 --> 00:04:25.600 can't hear polka music and just not be Like for. 102 00:04:25.639 --> 00:04:27.519 Me, I'm kind of like like I feel the same 103 00:04:27.519 --> 00:04:30.399 way about mariachi music. It's like you have to be 104 00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:32.600 happy if you hear mariachi music. You have to be 105 00:04:32.600 --> 00:04:33.839 happy if you hear polka music. 106 00:04:34.040 --> 00:04:38.639 And so a lot of the octoberfests that are around Colorado, 107 00:04:38.759 --> 00:04:40.560 and there are plenty of them spread out through the 108 00:04:40.600 --> 00:04:44.680 month of September. I included several all along the Front 109 00:04:44.759 --> 00:04:48.240 Range and up in the mountains, different themes. 110 00:04:47.920 --> 00:04:48.879 Different contests. 111 00:04:49.399 --> 00:04:52.199 They're always a lot of fun and I normally would 112 00:04:52.199 --> 00:04:55.199 be attending a lot of you know, our local Octoberfest, 113 00:04:55.240 --> 00:04:56.800 but it falls into a time where I'm not. 114 00:04:56.759 --> 00:04:59.319 Going to be consuming alcohol. I'm not going to be 115 00:04:59.319 --> 00:05:01.279 eating bread in Gluton. 116 00:05:01.120 --> 00:05:02.639 So you can go get a Schweinehassen. 117 00:05:02.720 --> 00:05:05.800 It's all of those things like big crispy pork knuckle 118 00:05:06.279 --> 00:05:09.399 thank you. Yeah, but I love schweine Hawsen that the 119 00:05:09.439 --> 00:05:10.319 temptation would be. 120 00:05:10.439 --> 00:05:10.639 I know. 121 00:05:10.920 --> 00:05:12.839 We've also got to wine walk on here as well. 122 00:05:12.920 --> 00:05:15.560 September thirteenth.

I believe he will be having 128 00:05:31.120 --> 00:05:34.279 some that were part of the Governor's Cup that won 129 00:05:34.439 --> 00:05:36.240 some accolades this year. 130 00:05:37.079 --> 00:05:39.519 Let's talk about the Governor's Cup for a second, because 131 00:05:39.519 --> 00:05:41.360 I actually love the concept of this. I think this 132 00:05:41.439 --> 00:05:44.000 is a very cool event. They bring in some mallyays 133 00:05:44.079 --> 00:05:47.600 and you know, big wine muckety bucks in to judge 134 00:05:47.959 --> 00:05:49.920 all of these different Colorado wines from all of these 135 00:05:49.959 --> 00:05:53.399 different Colorado wineries, and there is a I'm just saying 136 00:05:53.480 --> 00:05:57.560 that the wine Yogi endorsed wineries had a very very 137 00:05:57.600 --> 00:05:59.920 good year in the Governor's Cup. Which were the ones 138 00:06:00.040 --> 00:06:03.879 that you were the most excited about so well, actually. 139 00:06:03.639 --> 00:06:06.199 The most excited exciting one that I was thrilled to 140 00:06:06.240 --> 00:06:08.480 see on there is when I've not talked about before, 141 00:06:08.600 --> 00:06:12.000 mainly just because I haven't gotten out there as much 142 00:06:12.000 --> 00:06:12.680 as I would like to. 143 00:06:12.800 --> 00:06:16.439 I'm in that Stone Cottage cellar. They are absolutely. 144 00:06:15.920 --> 00:06:21.560 Fantastic, beautiful space there and outside of Paonia, just a 145 00:06:21.680 --> 00:06:25.600 lovely vineyard and really excited for them. But my friends 146 00:06:25.639 --> 00:06:28.639 that I'm I am really good friends with over the 147 00:06:28.639 --> 00:06:32.519 folks over at Carboys, so Ti zak Is and Kevin 148 00:06:32.680 --> 00:06:33.879 which we've had Kevin Webber. 149 00:06:33.759 --> 00:06:36.120 And they're super accessible. Some of these winemakers that we're 150 00:06:36.120 --> 00:06:37.759 going to talk about, Yeah, you kind of have to 151 00:06:37.800 --> 00:06:39.920 be on the Western Slope or in their wine club 152 00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:42.560 to get access to their wines. Carboy has a joint 153 00:06:42.639 --> 00:06:45.199 right there on Santa Fe that is outstanding. 154 00:06:44.759 --> 00:06:48.600 And also in downtown Denvers they have another place as well, 155 00:06:48.600 --> 00:06:50.519 but so Carboy's very easily accessible. 156 00:06:50.639 --> 00:06:51.959 Yes, their cab Franc. 157 00:06:51.920 --> 00:06:54.720 Was recognized, so I looked to see if I could 158 00:06:54.720 --> 00:06:56.160 pull a cab Fronk and I don't have it. I 159 00:06:56.160 --> 00:06:58.639 haven't picked up my club order from Carboy this month. 160 00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:04.360 But so Carboy one Savage Spectrum, which is out of Palisade. 161 00:07:04.399 --> 00:07:08.079 So Patrick and k Bob are the two wine makers. 162 00:07:08.920 --> 00:07:12.199 They're o and it just escaped me. It's a new 163 00:07:12.240 --> 00:07:15.759 grape for them. Also one of red wine. 164 00:07:16.000 --> 00:07:17.279 And then the. 165 00:07:17.240 --> 00:07:22.279 Storm Cellar, so Steve and Jamie from Paonia, so they're down. 166 00:07:22.360 --> 00:07:25.199 In West elks Aba. They had two gold medal winners. 167 00:07:25.360 --> 00:07:28.519 So I brought in there Alberino from twenty twenty four 168 00:07:28.639 --> 00:07:30.519 because I saw that that was on the list, and 169 00:07:30.600 --> 00:07:32.079 so that was what I grabbed on my way out 170 00:07:32.120 --> 00:07:32.360 the door. 171 00:07:32.600 --> 00:07:36.199 What did we taste today? The these two wines, you guys, 172 00:07:37.480 --> 00:07:39.920 they're like a chef's kiss, and they are not normally 173 00:07:39.959 --> 00:07:42.879 wines that I would gravitate towards because they're very fruit forward. 174 00:07:43.040 --> 00:07:46.079 And the wine that you know, what is the price 175 00:07:46.120 --> 00:07:47.560 point on that one? That was a little bit lower. 176 00:07:47.639 --> 00:07:51.079 The Alberino from Storm Cellars twenty five Okay in retail 177 00:07:51.399 --> 00:07:53.680 that was delicious and you can get Storm Cellar along 178 00:07:53.720 --> 00:07:56.079 the front range, so like we carry it down at 179 00:07:56.079 --> 00:07:58.879 the Wine Gallery. In fact, next month, I'm going to 180 00:07:58.959 --> 00:08:02.839 be having a wine and food pairing classes in September 181 00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:05.399 and it's going to be all focused on Colorado and 182 00:08:05.439 --> 00:08:07.959 I am doing German wines. Go back to our original 183 00:08:08.000 --> 00:08:11.560 German and Austrian wines this weekend on Sunday, So we 184 00:08:11.560 --> 00:08:14.279 still have some spots available for German wine and foods 185 00:08:14.360 --> 00:08:15.160 if you're interested. 186 00:08:15.199 --> 00:08:18.920 But the can I say a moment about German and 187 00:08:18.959 --> 00:08:23.319 Austrian wines for just a second, because my entire childhood 188 00:08:23.519 --> 00:08:25.720 all German wine that I ever had, not childhood but 189 00:08:25.759 --> 00:08:29.160 young adulthood.

Do me a 261 00:11:30.200 --> 00:11:32.759 little list of what all these things are like, where 262 00:11:32.759 --> 00:11:34.840 do they lean? Give me a little give you a clue, 263 00:11:34.960 --> 00:11:36.919 because now I feel like they're just throwing new things 264 00:11:36.960 --> 00:11:39.480 at me because I finally just learned all the old stuff. 265 00:11:39.559 --> 00:11:42.759 Well, so like it's also what happens can't happen, Like 266 00:11:43.200 --> 00:11:47.000 terms like Limburger is the German version of La Frankish, 267 00:11:47.000 --> 00:11:50.080 which is the Austrian version of this particular grape varietal, 268 00:11:50.279 --> 00:11:53.240 which they're very close to Pino noir, and they're all 269 00:11:53.279 --> 00:11:57.000 cousins and related in some ways in some cases. But yeah, 270 00:11:57.000 --> 00:11:58.559 I can do that, you know. But Alberino is a 271 00:11:58.559 --> 00:12:01.960 Spanish grape. I'm Shambers. Sin is Uh is actually a 272 00:12:02.039 --> 00:12:04.639 varietal that does really well here on the Western Slope, 273 00:12:04.799 --> 00:12:07.559 and so you will often find either just Shambers and 274 00:12:07.679 --> 00:12:08.080 red wine. 275 00:12:08.120 --> 00:12:08.759 You'll find. 276 00:12:11.159 --> 00:12:13.320 All of these wines are dry. Ok, every single wine. 277 00:12:13.120 --> 00:12:15.279 That you just listed off, they're dry. They're going to 278 00:12:15.360 --> 00:12:19.200 compete in dessert wine categories. If they're competing, they're not 279 00:12:19.200 --> 00:12:21.919 gonna they're not going to be sweet wines. 280 00:12:21.960 --> 00:12:23.559 They're gonna all they're all going to be dry. 281 00:12:23.559 --> 00:12:25.399 In that case, they might be a little bit fruitier, 282 00:12:25.480 --> 00:12:26.440 a little fruit more fruits. 283 00:12:26.840 --> 00:12:28.720 Let's talk about the other wine they they brought. 284 00:12:29.440 --> 00:12:32.000 Vignols is from a new winemaker that we met at 285 00:12:33.039 --> 00:12:37.799 sip Into Spring, which is an annual tasting there in 286 00:12:37.919 --> 00:12:44.639 Palisade and Alex torrez Is his vineyard is down in Hotchkiss, Uh, 287 00:12:44.759 --> 00:12:47.480 which is south of Paonia over on the western slope, 288 00:12:47.759 --> 00:12:50.360 and Vignols the grapes are grown by the folks that 289 00:12:50.399 --> 00:12:54.000 are growing grapes for Sabash spectrum. So he sourced the 290 00:12:54.080 --> 00:12:57.480 Vinyols grapes, which is a white wine out of the 291 00:12:57.519 --> 00:12:58.240 Grand Valley. 292 00:12:58.440 --> 00:13:01.039 And we met him tasted as wine. 293 00:13:01.240 --> 00:13:03.639 All three of us have been drinking quite a while, 294 00:13:03.799 --> 00:13:06.320 but this white wine just exploded on our pallets. 295 00:13:06.360 --> 00:13:07.399 We were all shocked by it. 296 00:13:07.840 --> 00:13:10.480 And before I went to the Storm Cellar when they 297 00:13:10.480 --> 00:13:13.519 announced that they had won two gold medals for a 298 00:13:13.720 --> 00:13:17.240 winemaker dinner up on the mesa A a couple of 299 00:13:17.240 --> 00:13:20.440 weeks ago, I stopped in at Fallen Mountain and Alex 300 00:13:20.440 --> 00:13:21.840 tasted me on all of his wines and I was 301 00:13:21.879 --> 00:13:23.679 able to bring a case. We're the only ones that 302 00:13:23.720 --> 00:13:25.639 have it on the front range. This wine I will 303 00:13:25.679 --> 00:13:28.799 be pouring next month in September when I have my 304 00:13:28.879 --> 00:13:33.399 class on Colorado wine. So yeah, absolutely stunning wine, gorgeous, 305 00:13:33.440 --> 00:13:36.840 bright acidity. It's just got stone fruit and just all 306 00:13:36.879 --> 00:13:40.039 of this mouth feel that if it's difficult to describe. 307 00:13:40.080 --> 00:13:43.039 The mouthfeel is what got me. And the fruit is 308 00:13:43.320 --> 00:13:47.960 very I want to say pronounced, but that's not the 309 00:13:48.039 --> 00:13:50.840 right word. It's because I don't love if something is 310 00:13:50.879 --> 00:13:52.960 super fruity. If I can taste every fruit, I don't 311 00:13:53.039 --> 00:13:55.200 enjoy that. It's just not. This wine just kind of 312 00:13:55.200 --> 00:13:58.679 coats your mouth. It's just delightful. 313 00:13:58.799 --> 00:14:01.159 I feel like when you start getting down to things 314 00:14:01.240 --> 00:14:05.120 like watermelon rind or close to the pit and like 315 00:14:05.159 --> 00:14:07.679 an apricot or a peach. To me, this is what 316 00:14:08.480 --> 00:14:13.399 the fruit reminds me of so much in this particular wine. 317 00:14:13.440 --> 00:14:16.240 It just yeah, and it does that. This cidity is 318 00:14:16.440 --> 00:14:18.519 to me what I really appreciate. 319 00:14:18.159 --> 00:14:19.000 About both of these wines. 320 00:14:19.000 --> 00:14:24.360 Alberino was known for it's uh acidity and its just 321 00:14:24.399 --> 00:14:26.639 absolutely this this. 322 00:14:26.799 --> 00:14:29.240 Vignyols we had to bring it into our store. 323 00:14:29.440 --> 00:14:32.480 It's slightly more expensive than the Alberino from smorm Cellar. 324 00:14:32.559 --> 00:14:34.159 But what a perfect wine for Thanksgiving. 325 00:14:34.279 --> 00:14:35.679 It's going to be amazing for Thanksgiving. 326 00:14:35.720 --> 00:14:39.039 Yeah, just got this one Mountain Harvest Festival in Paona 327 00:14:39.080 --> 00:14:40.799 in September. You going to that one? 328 00:14:40.960 --> 00:14:41.039 No? 329 00:14:41.200 --> 00:14:42.559 Oh, you're getting You're on the wagon. 330 00:14:43.039 --> 00:14:45.799 Seventy five hard starts on September thirteenth, if anybody wants 331 00:14:45.799 --> 00:14:48.399 a nice little challenge that'll finish right before thanksgivings. 332 00:14:49.080 --> 00:14:51.159 Mandy did wine? You know you get some coal spears 333 00:14:51.200 --> 00:14:51.919 in Cologne? 334 00:14:51.919 --> 00:14:53.759 Did you some culsh? 335 00:14:53.799 --> 00:14:56.440 And as we were sitting there looking at the twin spires, 336 00:14:56.480 --> 00:14:58.559 which is what if it's going to be called culshit 337 00:14:58.639 --> 00:15:01.039 has to be made within in view of the twin 338 00:15:01.159 --> 00:15:01.799 spires of. 339 00:15:01.799 --> 00:15:02.559 The dose cool. 340 00:15:02.559 --> 00:15:05.360 I didn't know that it's very cool and you'll always 341 00:15:05.360 --> 00:15:07.320 see the umlaut on the o's. And there was a 342 00:15:07.399 --> 00:15:10.320 question earlier about mold with wine. 343 00:15:10.440 --> 00:15:11.799 Yes, I forgot to get that. 344 00:15:12.440 --> 00:15:13.799 Noble Rat is what it is. 345 00:15:13.840 --> 00:15:16.639 And if you've ever had blue cheese, for example, it's 346 00:15:16.639 --> 00:15:19.480 the same strain of penicillin. So I just always look 347 00:15:19.519 --> 00:15:22.279 at it as if you drink a soturn or late 348 00:15:22.320 --> 00:15:25.200 harvest reestling, you're getting your dose of penicillin. It pairs 349 00:15:25.240 --> 00:15:28.960 perfectly with blue cheese, you're getting another dose of penicillin. 350 00:15:28.480 --> 00:15:31.320 And I'm boarding off and you're just curing yourself. 351 00:15:31.440 --> 00:15:33.679 So basically, when you're drinking one of these wines that's 352 00:15:33.720 --> 00:15:36.399 created with Noble Rot, you're just like, it's for my health, 353 00:15:36.399 --> 00:15:39.039 for my health, I mean, it really is no. There's 354 00:15:39.080 --> 00:15:41.279 so much cool chemistry to wine making. And when I 355 00:15:41.320 --> 00:15:46.759 went to the winery in Indiana, Turtle Creek Winery, as 356 00:15:46.840 --> 00:15:49.320 this guy was an actual chemist, and he was so 357 00:15:49.559 --> 00:15:53.440 geeked out about the chemistry aspect of wine tasting. But 358 00:15:53.519 --> 00:15:56.039 I'll be perfectly honest, he had never done like a 359 00:15:56.080 --> 00:16:00.759 wine dinner before, and we tasted wait for it, seventeen 360 00:16:00.799 --> 00:16:04.080 wines in one dinner, y'all. I had to be carried 361 00:16:04.080 --> 00:16:06.320 out there at a wheelbarrow. I mean I was not driving, 362 00:16:06.360 --> 00:16:08.000 thank god, because I would have just had to lay 363 00:16:08.000 --> 00:16:10.720 down on the ground and go to sleep for ten hours. 364 00:16:10.759 --> 00:16:13.320 But he was so geeked out about all of that 365 00:16:13.360 --> 00:16:15.080 stuff and how no broad affects this, and I mean, 366 00:16:15.120 --> 00:16:17.279 it was just really really interesting. So if you ever 367 00:16:17.320 --> 00:16:19.279 have a chance to do a wine dinner at a 368 00:16:19.360 --> 00:16:23.480 vineyard with the vinnor, it is so fascinating. It's just 369 00:16:23.559 --> 00:16:25.840 really really cool stuff. All right.
