There are times when as much as you may want to try something, the only thing you can do is wait. One can search the whole city over, call trusted contacts within the industry, and even hope and pray, all to no avail. That is probably a bit over-dramatic as we were only searching for…
We believe the saying goes, “patience is a virtue.” If this is true, and why wouldn’t it be, then Andrew is truly one of the most virtuous people you will ever come across. In this episode we will finally be trying a beverage who’s journey to the tasting table was literally months in the making.…
As you probably already have surmised from the name of our website, YouTube channel, etc, we are About Beverages of all kinds. While it is true that we do fall victim to certain category redundancies (most specifically beer), we do challenge ourselves to continually seek out new and exciting liquid consumables. This week we turn…
Sometimes in life there are certain challenges that are unavoidable. Often you see them coming, or at least you know they are out there and will soon be knocking on your door. Many times you are blindsided by them and left to rely on your own survival instincts as well as the love and support…
Welcome to part two of this Cabernet theme week here at About Beverages. What a wonderful meaningful coincidence it was to find that we had a new Cabernet to try for our previous podcast and that it had a connection to another beverage that we wanted to share with our viewers, listeners and friends.

While they don’t happen every week, when we can do back-to-back podcasts that are connected by a particular theme it is something we enjoy.

Welcome to the second phase of our Pinot Noir comparison. To bring you up to speed, in our previous podcast, we tried the Erath Pinot Noir, which is from Oregon. If you want to know what we thought about it, please see the previous post and watch or listen as we discuss our perceptions. As…
We know that while we are truly about all types of beverages, we do tend to skew more often toward beer. It is easy to buy just one for us to talk about on a podcast and with few exceptions, the price structure is usually just what we are looking for. However, this week our…
Time sure goes by quickly when you are doing something you love. We know that’s true because this week in which we released three podcasts has sure flown by! To put that in an even larger scope, we can’t believe how quickly ten years has flown by. Why do we even mention that you may…
We have often spoken of our unabashed affinity for most things barrel-aged. We say “most things” because while barrel-aging certainly can add wonderful depth and complexity to a beverage, if it is not done well, things can go awry in a most disturbing way. This podcast features a beverage aged in whiskey barrels and while…
