  • Great show!

    I’m loving the Top 5 segment. Your recent Top 5 episode with Carter was controversial but I definitely agree with Five Guys. Controversy aside, I’m curious to know your top food chains so I think you need to make another episode for that. Because of your new segment, your show is quickly becoming one of my favorite.

  • Great Podcast

    Rob and Carter clearly know what they’re talking about. But what makes this podcast so enjoyable is how relatable these guys are. It’s like your part of a conversation among friends, people who enjoy food, wine, and whiskey as much as you do. The podcast isn’t stuffy and yet it isn’t dumbed down. Highly recommended.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Talking and Sipping Wine - I Join Bob Paulinski on his Livestream
Q: Why are screw caps discussed in relation to aging and style preferences?
Screw caps can better preserve primary fruit and offer reliable aging trajectories for many fresh, fruit-forward wines, whereas cork is traditional and can allow slow ingress of air; overall, closures should match the wine style and market expectations.
Talking and Sipping Wine - I Join Bob Paulinski on his Livestream
Q: What was the focus of today's livestream tasting and which wines were included?
The focus was value-priced wines from three regions, with practical tasting notes and shopping guidance. The wines included a Clare Valley Riesling from Napstein, a Salice Salentino Reserva from Italy, and a Douro Tinto from Portugal.
Talking Scotch with Whisky Expert David Allardice
Q: Bourbon versus scotch, what do you think bourbon drinkers get wrong when they want to get into scotch?
The key is to try a wide variety and not assume all Scotch tastes like what you've heard; approach it with curiosity, sample peated and unpeated styles, and understand different cask influences rather than assuming a single flavor or trend defines Scotch.

V is for Vino
Q: How did you get into wine?
