During a recent streaming session Andrew discovered that one of the people in chat was also a big fan of gin.
Once a year, thanks to the loyal and generous support we receive from all of our subscribers and followers, we purchase an extra special bottle of something to try for a podcast.
We always enjoy trying new wines and for many years we have talked about wanting to compare different price tiers of the same grape varietal from the same winery.
Throughout the years they have had numerous wine varietals and blends with the word “Reserve” in the title (Petit, Grand, Platinum,) and some that are just Reserve. These have ranged in price from $6.99 (Petit Reserve) up to $14.99 (Platinum Reserve).
For this week’s podcast we are shifting gears as we will be trying a barrel-aged stout.
In case you are still looking for a wine to accompany your feast we have another one to share with you for this episode.
Our thought was to try a few at different price points and compare them side by side. For one reason or another it was never quite the right time, until now.
For this week’s show we will be trying the Aphrodisia Batch 23 from Superstition Meadery. This mead was crafted with California Cabernet grapes, Arizona wildflower honey and aged in American oak barrels.
Recently on a show we were discussing how it would be a good time to have a stout from Tombstone and as if by magic one appeared at our local bottle shop.
We decided to take advantage of September being Bourbon Heritage month one final time as we will be featuring a bourbon based cocktail.
