Speaker 1: So my first hell is lime jello.
Speaker 2: Come on, no, I don't smell lime jello.
Speaker 1: And then my other one is it's either petrol or
Speaker 1: like basoline, petrol? Get it?
Speaker 2: Mm hm oh am I supposed to taste it? Now,
Speaker 2: what do you think it's delicious? Pashasha Shoshow, Welcome to
Speaker 2: Tosh Show. Smoke him if you got them. Eddie, you're
Speaker 2: still a big smoker. I'm not a big smoker. You
Speaker 2: were a big smoker. Yeah for one week, coolest week
Speaker 2: of your life. I felt so cool. I never smoked.
Speaker 2: And now we'll hold on. Now. I don't know that
Speaker 2: Big Tobacco maybe a sponsor this show, and I don't
Speaker 2: want to say bad things about smoking. If they're a sponsor,
Speaker 2: there are they? I don't think they are. They're okay? Well,
Speaker 2: then I think smoking is dangerous. You know where you
Speaker 2: know where the word isn't out yet on smoking being
Speaker 2: bad for you? Where alcoholics you go to an AA meeting,
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, they just chain smoke. I'm like, I
Speaker 2: was drinking that harmful?
Speaker 1: Are you going to AA meetings?
Speaker 2: WHOA, that's a better question. Why am I going to
Speaker 2: my son's elementary school? Doubles as an AA meeting place
Speaker 2: once a month. I can always tell when it's being
Speaker 2: used for AA because instead of children in an elementary
Speaker 2: school playing, it's a bunch of really depressing people, just
Speaker 2: all huddled outside, just smoking. And I'm like, oh, this
Speaker 2: isn't an elementary school anymore. This is something else. Anyway,
Speaker 2: they're there once a month, and good for them, you know,
Speaker 2: getting help and talking about Jesus or whatever they do there.
Speaker 2: But we walk by it every day going to school.
Speaker 2: So my son finds this chip, this coin that says
Speaker 2: sixty days of sobriety, and I go, oh, I go, yes,
Speaker 2: that's good treasure, buddy, But you can't keep it. We
Speaker 2: got to leave it here because that means something important
Speaker 2: to someone else. But they're only there once while. So
Speaker 2: every day we're passing it and he's like, Dad, the
Speaker 2: chip is still here. Can I can I take the coin?
Speaker 2: And I'm like, I don't. I don't think he can.
Speaker 2: It's not a thing you want your kid walking around with. Well, no,
Speaker 2: you can't. You can't steal that. I think I think
Speaker 2: that that's just bad juju. I don't know what's gonna happen.
Speaker 2: How soon until the guy gets another chip ninety days.
Speaker 2: So if if in thirty days it's still there, my
Speaker 2: son can then take it, because the person would have
Speaker 2: moved on to a ninety day chip or they would
Speaker 2: have fallen off the wagon, and uh, you know, are
Speaker 2: back to being fun. Makes it? Yes, First of all, drinking,
Speaker 2: I'm not making light of drinking either. I've never been
Speaker 2: a drinker. My parents didn't drink, and they all told
Speaker 2: me not to drink. They said drinking's bad. So I
Speaker 2: was like, all right, drinking is bad, and I didn't drink.
Speaker 2: And then by time I got to an age where
Speaker 2: I realized, oh, drinking is not bad, and I was like,
Speaker 2: all right, well now I don't drink, so should I
Speaker 2: really start? I never knew what to order. Always feel silly,
Speaker 2: people like, oh, you gotta try this wine. I'm like,
Speaker 2: whatases like kerosine? And then I'm like, I bring wine
Speaker 2: always whenever I show up someplace. You know, It's just
Speaker 2: I just based on price. How much should you spend
Speaker 2: when you're bringing a bottle of wine over to somebody's house.
Speaker 2: I spend close to twenty thousand, Wow, I said, okay.
Speaker 2: I didn't even know wine could cost that much until
Speaker 2: I met today's guest enjoy Psha, my guest today can
Speaker 2: turn a sip of wine into a ten minute ted talk.
Speaker 2: She has worked in some of the finest restaurants in
Speaker 2: the world, from Pizza Hut to the French Laundry, and
Speaker 2: I'm sure she will pick up subtle hints of sarcasm
Speaker 2: with some notes of ignorance from my questions today. Please
Speaker 2: welcome certified Somalia Sarah. Hi, do you believe in ghosts?
Speaker 1: Sure?
Speaker 2: I like no follow up to an indifferent Sure, Sure?
Speaker 2: Why not? You ever seen a ghost? I don't think so,
Speaker 2: You're a felt one.
Speaker 1: No. I was doing inventory late at night once and
Speaker 1: all the wine glasses started moving around in one of
Speaker 1: the doors open, so I just went out there. I
Speaker 1: was like, I'm scared of everything, please leave me alone,
Speaker 1: and then they did.
Speaker 2: Uh huh. I get scared easy mm hmm. And my
Speaker 2: mind goes into bad places quickly. But yeah, I never
Speaker 2: connect the dots that way. I always just think it's
Speaker 2: just I'm just on the verge of being killed. That's
Speaker 2: always what I'm worried about. Now. Just so you know,
Speaker 2: I'm not a drinker, but I always will drink just
Speaker 2: to show people I don't. I'm not somebody that it's
Speaker 2: just easier to take it sure to drink than have
Speaker 2: this long explanation of that. I have a palette of
Speaker 2: a four month old that just wants chocolate milk.
Speaker 1: Sure.
Speaker 2: So anyway, that's where I'm at. I'm fascinated by your
Speaker 2: work for a few reasons, because even though I don't drink.
Speaker 2: I love vineyards. I love going to places. I love
Speaker 2: traveling to the South of France. I love do you
Speaker 2: do it a vineyard? I stay at the hotel, sure
Speaker 2: or sure, wherever I like it. I like it for
Speaker 2: its beauty and it's I like the bougeenis. I like
Speaker 2: walking around like it's it's peaceful, It's pretty all right.
Speaker 2: How and when did you decide to become a professional Whyo.
Speaker 1: I was working at a restaurant in Scottsdale, and the
Speaker 1: ownership asked whoever worked there if they wanted to get
Speaker 1: their level on some way, they would pay for it.
Speaker 1: So I said, I why not? I was it's intimidating.
Speaker 1: Wine's really intimidating, and when a guest knows more than
Speaker 1: you about wine, it really sucks. Yes, And I was
Speaker 1: just serving then, and so I wanted to know more,
Speaker 1: and it just was like way more interesting than I
Speaker 1: thought it would be. It's history and geography mostly, and
Speaker 1: then there's a lot of law and science. Like the
Speaker 1: juice in the glass at the end is the last
Speaker 1: moments of that wine's life. There's so much before that.
Speaker 1: And so that was like Pandora's box blew up, and
Speaker 1: I was like I got to get out of here,
Speaker 1: and I moved to California and started studying with Master Somoye's.
Speaker 2: How much this manager of the restaurant, how much does
Speaker 2: is getting your level one small A.
Speaker 1: I think it's like five hundred dollars to take the
Speaker 1: exam just.
Speaker 2: To take the test, and you just have to do
Speaker 2: all the prep work.
Speaker 1: They did. They put on a little they put on
Speaker 1: a little course. There's no it's not like they have
Speaker 1: it online now since COVID. But they would give you
Speaker 1: like general things to study. And so the restaurant group
Speaker 1: would put on put on classes like a distributor would
Speaker 1: come in, bring a wine, put on a class. I
Speaker 1: don't know, maybe ten weeks or so, and then you
Speaker 1: sit for the exam and.
Speaker 2: Did you pay? You allowed to take the exam multiple times?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know the time for level one, but
Speaker 1: I pass that one. Okay, first try.
Speaker 2: You're a level two or three?
Speaker 1: I'm a two.
Speaker 2: Are you looking to You're not You're done, not interested.
Speaker 1: The commitment that it takes is pretty offensive, okay. And
Speaker 1: the way you have to eat and drink and spend
Speaker 1: your life and social life and I have a really
Speaker 1: nice life.
Speaker 2: How long did you wait before you went to the
Speaker 2: second tier? And how many tiers are there?
Speaker 1: There are four tiers Intro, Certified, Advanced, and Master so.
Speaker 1: The Master SO exam is regarded as the hardest exam
Speaker 1: in any field in the world.
Speaker 2: Which, okay, but is it?
Speaker 1: That's my response A brain surgeon.
Speaker 2: That's listening to this right now is probably, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: I know it's the hardest.
Speaker 1: Demonstrably true that it's the hardest exam in the world.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that that's matches what I do. I
Speaker 1: serve rotten grape juice for a living, is what I
Speaker 1: tell people, and it's I say that too. I don't
Speaker 1: operate on brains, I don't go to space. I don't.
Speaker 2: But it's is the test subjective at all? Or no?
Speaker 2: It's just factual. I just don't understand.
Speaker 1: There's theory, which is the base of it. So less
Speaker 1: than three hundred people have passed the level for exam
Speaker 1: since its inception in nineteen sixty nine, so it's like
Speaker 1: not that many people.
Speaker 2: I get it. That's impressive.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And so your brain has to be wired a
Speaker 1: certain type of way to memorize. And then also you
Speaker 1: have to be a super taster at that level. So
Speaker 1: fifty percent of the population are average tasters, twenty five
Speaker 1: percent are below or non you already knew, and twenty
Speaker 1: five percent are above our super.
Speaker 2: So no matter how much you some of it is
Speaker 2: out of.
Speaker 1: Your hand exactly.
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, all right, that's good. Now. I like knowing
Speaker 2: stuff like that because then it's like, oh, I can't
Speaker 2: I shouldn't even try, right.
Speaker 1: And you can. You can train your genes. You can
Speaker 1: train yourself to understand more, but you can't out train
Speaker 1: yourself like my genetics. I'm six foot tall. I didn't
Speaker 1: earn that. That's not a skill. I trained my genes
Speaker 1: to play volleyball. But I'm was never going to the Olympics,
Speaker 1: like I was never.
Speaker 2: Those weird knee pads that that had the three sections.
Speaker 2: Do you know what I'm talking about the pads that
Speaker 2: had the three sec.
Speaker 1: I feel that's good.
Speaker 2: I love volleyball. The problem with volleyball, there's a few problems,
Speaker 2: but one problem with as someone who loves watching it
Speaker 2: is that it's only showcased properly once every four years
Speaker 2: at the Olympics. Yeah, now you played indoor? Yes, do
Speaker 2: you ever transition to the beach?
Speaker 1: Terrible? At beach beach is a different game, different game.
Speaker 2: But I lived in Hermosa Beach, Wheredando Beach, at Manhattan Beach,
Speaker 2: and there was a time that the tour would go
Speaker 2: literally half a mile down the beach each week and
Speaker 2: we're at a new location. I'm like, yeah, you're at
Speaker 2: a new location last week year at the other court.
Speaker 2: That doesn't matter. Fun to watch beach volleyball, But during
Speaker 2: the Olympics, I just get so into what do we
Speaker 2: call just regular say, volleyball.
Speaker 1: Indoor indoor indoor. Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 2: Understand the what's that bullshit position?
Speaker 1: Libero?
Speaker 2: Okay, just allowed to be like somebody that's not really involved.
Speaker 1: But you just don't go in front row your back row.
Speaker 2: Is that a new rule or has that always been there?
Speaker 1: No, I don't remember that in high school would.
Speaker 2: Watch high school volleyball. I never saw lebero.
Speaker 1: I think it started maybe when I was in high school.
Speaker 2: Okay, can you jump? Not well, could you jump?
Speaker 1: Nope? I was just taller than everyone else.
Speaker 2: Okay, so that everyone else you're you're not breaking record six.
Speaker 1: Feet in my town. I was then on the boys
Speaker 1: even in like eighth grade. Imagine with your last name
Speaker 1: foot and your big foot eleven.
Speaker 2: Did you have a big foot?
Speaker 1: No, I'm just bigfoot. I was six foot tall. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's one.
Speaker 2: At least you don't have that pen on you exactly.
Speaker 2: I like that. I'm gonna only focus on volleyball. I
Speaker 2: don't care at all about this. Smali a shit. Okay,
Speaker 2: I want to hear by at the time you spiked it,
Speaker 2: your sister Nicole contacted us to have you on his
Speaker 2: I guess you also try to get you on the Bachelor?
Speaker 2: Is she your agent slash publicist?
Speaker 1: Sure? Yeah, she would love that.
Speaker 2: Yeah. How many siblings do you have?
Speaker 1: Three? I'm the baby of four.
Speaker 2: You're the baby of four. What do you got were
Speaker 2: the first two?
Speaker 1: Girl?
Speaker 2: Boy?
Speaker 1: Boy? Girl?
Speaker 2: Are you close with all of them? M that's nice.
Speaker 1: They're all awesome. Individually.
Speaker 2: Your parents still together?
Speaker 1: No Ah, thirty years?
Speaker 2: Which one of you caused it?
Speaker 1: Me for sure, one hundred percent. Yeah, because it's when
Speaker 1: I left the house that they were like that was
Speaker 1: the glue.
Speaker 2: At what age were you when they separated?
Speaker 1: Twenty something?
Speaker 2: How to hit you?
Speaker 1: It was awful right off. I thought it would be
Speaker 1: easier as an adult, but then it's just breaks your
Speaker 1: spirit about this marriage.
Speaker 2: This is the this is the conversations I've had with you.
Speaker 2: I honestly think people that it happens to like at
Speaker 2: that stage, it's a tougher as opposed to a five
Speaker 2: year old. You're just like, well, it is just what happened.
Speaker 1: You get two Christmases.
Speaker 2: I guess that's one way to look at it. Where
Speaker 2: were you born Illinois? You're born in Illinois. You grew
Speaker 2: up on a small farm. Tell me what that was like?
Speaker 1: Awesome, It's like an idyllic childhood. I'm like, my high
Speaker 1: school graduating class had forty eight kids in it.
Speaker 2: Forty eight people finished. How many started there?
Speaker 1: I don't know the answer to that. But our senior
Speaker 1: class shirt on the back of it it says I
Speaker 1: graduated in the top fifty of my class.
Speaker 2: That's cute. It is in my yearbook. My senior year
Speaker 2: armatta was if there's grass on the field, play ball,
Speaker 2: which is a reference to having sex with young people,
Speaker 2: and nobody in our school figured that out. We kind
Speaker 2: of always wore that as a badge of honor. Anyway.
Speaker 2: So you grew up in a small farm in Illinois
Speaker 2: went She ended up heading out west.
Speaker 1: After college after I graduated, well before I graduated, I
Speaker 1: came out for an internship, went back to graduate, and
Speaker 1: then moved out after college.
Speaker 2: What college did you go to?
Speaker 1: North Park University in Chicago.
Speaker 2: Did you have a major in drinking?
Speaker 1: I did, Yeah, I'm not on purpose.
Speaker 2: Did you drink a lot?
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's how I started. People ask me like, how
Speaker 1: did you get started in hospitality? And my mom caught
Speaker 1: me drinking and made me start working at Pizza Hut.
Speaker 2: Why Pizza Hut because there.
Speaker 1: Was that My only other friend that had a job
Speaker 1: at the time, Jess Cush, That's where she works.
Speaker 2: One of my favorite Indian restaurants here in Los Angeles
Speaker 2: is a former Pizza Hut. And I just loved looking
Speaker 2: at the stupid building and that they didn't do anything
Speaker 2: to change it, and I'm like, yeah, no, I it's
Speaker 2: just a pizza hut that's now an Indian restaurant. She
Speaker 2: worked at pizza Hut. By the way, did you steal?
Speaker 2: I don't steals the wrong word, but take home a
Speaker 2: bunch of those red cups? No, I love them. They
Speaker 2: were such a good drinking cups.
Speaker 1: I think I have one of the things you put
Speaker 1: on top of your car when you do deliveries.
Speaker 2: Still, that's pretty interesting. What were you at Pizza Hut?
Speaker 1: Server? And then I would get annoyed it took too long.
Speaker 1: So then I've worked in the kitchen and managed, and.
Speaker 2: I hated their pizza fair deep. I hated it. My
Speaker 2: parents would take as it. I do have a memory
Speaker 2: from pizza out as a child. It was where I
Speaker 2: had my first crushed red pepper.
Speaker 1: What a moment.
Speaker 2: And I remember putting my dad's like, yeah, just take one,
Speaker 2: and I put one in and he put it on.
Speaker 2: I think, I don't know if you put it on
Speaker 2: my tongue like it was passover or but no. I
Speaker 2: took one. I put on my tongue, and I remember
Speaker 2: not enjoying the experience. But now look at me now, Dad,
Speaker 2: I love crushed red peppers.
Speaker 1: Well, well, I don't know how I.
Speaker 2: Could have been three years old. I have no idea.
Speaker 2: So your mom caught you drinking? What were you drinking
Speaker 2: when she caught you?
Speaker 1: No clue, don't remember it all something terrible.
Speaker 2: I'm sure was she a drinker?
Speaker 1: No? I never saw either of my parents really drink,
Speaker 1: And like.
Speaker 2: I'll show you guys, literally, yeah.
Speaker 1: I sure did. Now I drink for a living.
Speaker 2: It's pretty great.
Speaker 1: I know how old were you when you got your
Speaker 1: Level one twenty seven?
Speaker 2: Okay, that's a good time to have some direction in
Speaker 2: your life.
Speaker 1: Oh boy, I needed it, did you?
Speaker 2: Yeah? But that was neat, like, oh look at this.
Speaker 2: Now I'm gonna do something.
Speaker 1: Cool, yes, genuinely.
Speaker 2: And people talk to you like back home when you're like, yeah,
Speaker 2: this is what I'm doing that holy shit.
Speaker 1: Now they're like, oh, you still work at restaurants? Cool?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I worked at a Greek restaurant and I was
Speaker 2: starting to do comedy and I would have to like
Speaker 2: come back from the road and still wait tables for
Speaker 2: if you and people didn't you graduate college And I'm
Speaker 2: like yeah, but I'm I wouldn't even just stopped talking.
Speaker 2: I was just so embarrassed.
Speaker 1: Yeah, welcome to my life.
Speaker 2: So how did you get a job at the French Laundry? Arguably,
Speaker 2: or maybe it's not, one of the greatest restaurants in
Speaker 2: the world.
Speaker 1: Absolutely, it was the best restaurant in the world for
Speaker 1: a few consecutive years.
Speaker 2: Where is it?
Speaker 1: NAPA? Yonville? Past my level two? I studied with Master
Speaker 1: Songs past my level two, was running a wine program
Speaker 1: in the Bay Area. Moved up to or was going
Speaker 1: to move up to NAPA. Had a just an easy,
Speaker 1: little job interview at a winery in Yonville, and they
Speaker 1: hired me, and I was like great, but I was
Speaker 1: like I look good. I was in my interview attire,
Speaker 1: I had my everything ready and I walked down the street.
Speaker 1: I knew French Laundry is down the street. I just
Speaker 1: stopped walking. I couldn't find the front door for like
Speaker 1: ten minutes.
Speaker 2: Is it because it's like cool, It's just so cool.
Speaker 1: I would never know, right, so stupid. I finally found
Speaker 1: the front door and it was unlocked, and I went
Speaker 1: in and there was two people standing there, hilariously, like
Speaker 1: the two best looking people that worked at French Laundry
Speaker 1: at that time. And so I was like whoa. Everyone
Speaker 1: hears boys or girls one of each, huh. And I'm like, hey,
Speaker 1: my name is Sarah Foot. I think you should hire me.
Speaker 1: I think you're gonna want to hire me. I want
Speaker 1: to work here. And they were like cool, and they
Speaker 1: just took my resume and I just assumed threw it
Speaker 1: away and.
Speaker 2: I'm talking to the front people at Abercrombie and Fitch
Speaker 2: back there, totally like hey here and they're like.
Speaker 1: Okay, but yeah, hot, yeah, right exactly, and then they
Speaker 1: called me and then they hired me.
Speaker 2: That's awesome. Yeah, and I never did the interview.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, yes, they called me. I went into an interview,
Speaker 1: came in and did a second interview and then they're like,
Speaker 1: all right, go fetch for your suits and come back
Speaker 1: next week.
Speaker 2: And what do they wear?
Speaker 1: Hugo Boss suits.
Speaker 2: When I was there, Okay, they look sharp.
Speaker 1: And I didn't know. I had only worked in semi
Speaker 1: fine dining. I had never worked in any Michelin Star.
Speaker 1: It was three Michelin Star. So that was a pretty
Speaker 1: aggressive and.
Speaker 2: Massive Thomas Keller, what kind of boss was he?
Speaker 1: I was fortunate he was there a decent amount while.
Speaker 2: I worked because we smiling you weren't you weren't.
Speaker 1: Like no, I was on the service team. I was
Speaker 1: not a smiling okay there, but front of house. I
Speaker 1: would help with wine if I could, and do whatever
Speaker 1: I possibly could to get there. But that would have
Speaker 1: taken I would have had to be there much longer, Okay.
Speaker 1: So again I was fortunate we opened the new kitchen
Speaker 1: while I worked there, so he was present a lot,
Speaker 1: and he's he's a presence, you know when he's in
Speaker 1: the room. I really enjoyed it. I think that I
Speaker 1: learned more there than I'll probably ever learn anywhere else ever. Again,
Speaker 1: but it was a really really amazing place to work, Right.
Speaker 2: Why are chefs allowed to be such assholes? Is there
Speaker 2: like no HR department in the restaurant business.
Speaker 1: That's the hardest working person in the restaurant business.
Speaker 2: I mean, so the people are complaining to somebody mm hmm, okay,
Speaker 2: because I've always just felt like they get away with
Speaker 2: murder in the restaurant business.
Speaker 1: It's changing, It's changed a lot. Even I went back
Speaker 1: to NAPA and was talking to David Briden, who was
Speaker 1: the head wall I was there, and we had like
Speaker 1: we started laughing super hard about some shit that went
Speaker 1: down when I was there, and he's like, we can't
Speaker 1: do that anymore.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I mean there used to be a pecking
Speaker 2: order and then just all the incestual nonsense that would
Speaker 2: go on always. What's a meal cost you at the
Speaker 2: French launder if you do everything right?
Speaker 1: I think when I was there it was three ninety
Speaker 1: five per person. That doesn't include wine, It does include taxing.
Speaker 1: Gratuity doesn't include wine or any up charges. If you
Speaker 1: got FUA or WAGU.
Speaker 2: Or biggest tip you ever received.
Speaker 1: I don't know, a couple thousand dollars.
Speaker 2: I thought you were going to say, like one night
Speaker 2: on a guy's boat. I don't know, the weirdo's there, right, Oh.
Speaker 1: Totally, yeah, the super rich. There was four people once
Speaker 1: that ate at per Se, which is Thomas Keller's other
Speaker 1: three Michelin star restaurant for lunch, got on their private jet,
Speaker 1: flew to NAPA, and then ate at the French Laundry
Speaker 1: for dinner. That's like six sticks of butter. Yeah, one day.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's pretty cool though.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I like when people do stuff like that. Yeah, same
Speaker 2: as silly. Same After leaving the French Laundry, you took
Speaker 2: some time off to live on your mother's couch.
Speaker 1: Loved it. Where was she living at the time, Illinois from.
Speaker 2: Okay, you just went back to your home couch. Yeah,
Speaker 2: because you were just so drained.
Speaker 1: Yeah. That had been years now that I had been
Speaker 1: studying and working and doing whatever. And when you work
Speaker 1: at French laundry, you don't have a lot of free time,
Speaker 1: so you give up a lot holidays, weddings, things like that.
Speaker 1: So I was like, I'm just gonna go home. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go hang out with my family, have nieces and nephews,
Speaker 1: take them to the pool, hang out with my mom,
Speaker 1: cook dinner, see my high school friends.
Speaker 2: But nobody in Illinois really can wrap their head around
Speaker 2: what the French laundry is.
Speaker 1: I I think someone asked me if I was did
Speaker 1: French people's laundry? Yeah, that sounds about right, And I
Speaker 1: was like, I don't even know.
Speaker 2: I mean it's a military operation.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's the best of the best of the best.
Speaker 2: Most people are I think most people that drink wine
Speaker 2: obviously know this. Not a lot of women in your field.
Speaker 1: Yeah right right, Why is that it's changing? Well, why
Speaker 1: aren't there women in all fields?
Speaker 2: Well? There are, It's just it was more than others.
Speaker 1: It was a boy.
Speaker 2: Why is this the boys club? That's my question.
Speaker 1: I have no idea.
Speaker 2: In general, men think they know more about wine. Sure,
Speaker 2: and also, oh it's gotta be fun.
Speaker 1: Oh it's super fun. Oh it's super fun. And so
Speaker 1: I've learned, you know, I've been doing this long enough.
Speaker 1: Like if I'm greeting someone, if I'm greeting a man,
Speaker 1: I never offer him help. Uh yeah, So I say,
Speaker 1: have you made a selection? Or is there a bottle
Speaker 1: I can fetch for you?
Speaker 2: Fetch?
Speaker 1: Fetch?
Speaker 2: You use the word fetch. I don't like that at all.
Speaker 2: That would retreat, you know. And I yell at my
Speaker 2: wife for it. When we go out to restaurants. When
Speaker 2: the if the male server says a joke that's not
Speaker 2: funny and she gives him a charity laugh, I fucking
Speaker 2: stare at her. I stared daggers at her, and I said,
Speaker 2: don't you fucking make that guy feel like he's funny.
Speaker 2: He's you know, he's not funny, and you just did
Speaker 2: that for him.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I give it to him a tough day.
Speaker 2: I don't care. If he's having a tough day, he
Speaker 2: should know that he can't just come in, and it
Speaker 2: infuriates me. All right when some drunk chauvinist starts man
Speaker 2: splinning wind you, how long do you let it? Let
Speaker 2: them ramble on before you tell them that you're a Somalia?
Speaker 1: Are we? So this is in the restaurant, I'm not
Speaker 1: in the restaurant.
Speaker 2: This is my like.
Speaker 1: I love that, and I just try to make them
Speaker 1: feel stupid without them knowing. But they know they do
Speaker 1: have eventually, huh, and then they feel real bad.
Speaker 2: That's good that some of them feel bad. I bet
Speaker 2: some of them don't feel bad.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I try to make them feel bad.
Speaker 2: Do you trust uh customers when they say, oh, this
Speaker 2: wine isn't good.
Speaker 1: I'll smell it myself for sure. Obviously.
Speaker 2: Do you ever chug in the back?
Speaker 1: No? Maybe, I'm sure I have.
Speaker 2: Have you ever have you ever pulled the old switcheroo
Speaker 2: where you know this person doesn't know shit, so you
Speaker 2: give them they order something nice, you keep the nice
Speaker 2: bottom and just give them something else.
Speaker 1: Never that would truly be the least hospitable thing you
Speaker 1: could have heard, of.
Speaker 2: Course, But I think I maybe it's somebody that talked
Speaker 2: down to you or never, you're just like, you know
Speaker 2: what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna show this then come
Speaker 2: back out and go, hey, dumb fuck.
Speaker 1: That should go over.
Speaker 2: Well.
Speaker 1: Hospitality is a little warmer than.
Speaker 2: That, Listen. I was in the restaurant business, and you
Speaker 2: know I wasn't good at it, I bet, But you
Speaker 2: know what I could do. What I could write my
Speaker 2: name upside down on the paper that was put down
Speaker 2: on the table when I came and greeted. Them. Wow, hey,
Speaker 2: I stole that move from the macaroni grill. I believe,
Speaker 2: blow people's minds and talk about how every grape vine
Speaker 2: in Europe is grafted from an American vine.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I remember learning that was crazy. So floxras a
Speaker 1: vine lause that got brought over to Europe and negatively
Speaker 1: affected all the roots, and so the American roots were resistant,
Speaker 1: and so everything got grafted on. Basically, all of Europe
Speaker 1: is plant on American rootstock.
Speaker 2: Look at that, guys, we're still number one. This is
Speaker 2: what Trump is going to do?
Speaker 1: Oh god, yeah, there it is?
Speaker 2: How you holding up after that election? Huh? Is rose
Speaker 2: wine good? Or is it for children?
Speaker 1: I don't think any wine is for children.
Speaker 2: Well, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: You get what I was saying, Well, Rose, we had
Speaker 1: a Rose all day. It had a whole marketing thing.
Speaker 2: Rose is delicious at what price point? Are insanely expensive
Speaker 2: bottles of wine just a status and massaging egos of
Speaker 2: the assholes that can.
Speaker 1: Afford it on a wineless seven hundred that's.
Speaker 2: The breaking point?
Speaker 1: Yep?
Speaker 2: Did that? There's a hush. None of us. None of
Speaker 2: us thought we were going to hear that number.
Speaker 1: What did you think it was going to be lower?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 1: Oh well, I've been in super fine dining for a
Speaker 1: long time. So my friend and I talk about this
Speaker 1: a lot.
Speaker 2: So anything over seven hundred is like two.
Speaker 1: People ordering that bottle. My friend and I have broken
Speaker 1: this down. Okay, he runs the biggest list in Arizona.
Speaker 1: The first person is a really really knowledgeable wine person.
Speaker 1: They have a deep cellar, they know what they're talking about,
Speaker 1: they know what they like. Typically that person spends between
Speaker 1: two and four hundred dollars on a bottle almost always.
Speaker 1: If they go over seven, they're celebrating. It's a milestone
Speaker 1: birthday anniversary because they know what it costs. They can
Speaker 1: drink at home, but they'll come and have a DRC
Speaker 1: on their birthday. Because they can, and the other person
Speaker 1: is just trying to flex on someone else at the table.
Speaker 1: That's it. Those are the only two people.
Speaker 2: What is the most expensive bottle of wine at most restaurants?
Speaker 2: What price wine is? Seventy one hundred, seventy one hundred dollars?
Speaker 2: Why not just make it seven thousand? Are they worlds
Speaker 2: better than a seventy five dollars bottle of wine?
Speaker 1: Depends who he ases you.
Speaker 2: Yes, their world's better. That's good world.
Speaker 1: What kind of measurement is a world?
Speaker 2: Well, you're you're the one that has the made up profession.
Speaker 2: I believe you.
Speaker 1: If you say no, no to me, it is there's
Speaker 1: a diminishing return. You know, the difference. You could you
Speaker 1: could taste a difference between a two dollars bottle and
Speaker 1: one hundred dollars bottle. You could likely say which one.
Speaker 2: I can tell you that it tastes different. I just
Speaker 2: don't enjoy the taste of it to begin with. So
Speaker 2: that's just my own problem.
Speaker 1: Okay, so maybe not you specifically, right, most people can
Speaker 1: taste the difference between a five dollars bottle and a
Speaker 1: twenty dollars bottle or a thirty dollars bottle again. Once
Speaker 1: you go over one hundred retail it starts getting more difficult.
Speaker 1: There's like a diminishing return.
Speaker 2: Can you get an amazing wine for eight dollars?
Speaker 1: Amazing?
Speaker 2: You answered it? Are you picky about wine when you
Speaker 2: go out?
Speaker 1: Yes? Particular is the word I like?
Speaker 2: Costly is what I just heard?
Speaker 1: Yep? Yeah? Well yeah?
Speaker 2: Are you team Old World or New World wine?
Speaker 1: Both?
Speaker 2: What's your favorite te rawa? Was that good?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Tear wa tearwah. I drink a lot of French wine?
Speaker 1: You do?
Speaker 2: I do. What's the most expensive bottle of wine you've
Speaker 2: ever tasted? And did it change your life?
Speaker 1: Uh? Probably over twenty thousand? Did it change my life? No?
Speaker 1: It was good, it was great.
Speaker 2: The most expensive bottle off you've ever accidentally dropped and broke?
Speaker 1: Ooh uh maybe like two hundred bucks? Yeah? Nothing too bad?
Speaker 2: Barely worth righting home about it? I mean it would
Speaker 2: be worth it in Illinois? That would hit the front pages?
Speaker 2: Is it true? Two buck Chuck sometimes has phenomenal bottles
Speaker 2: of wine because of how they acquire their grapes, or
Speaker 2: is it just some myth? Trader Joe's is peddling to
Speaker 2: move more of its.
Speaker 1: Toilet wine, well, private label stuff that you can get
Speaker 1: at grocery stores. Some big grocery stores they'll buy fruit
Speaker 1: from really grape producers. Sometimes they just can't tell you
Speaker 1: who it's from, so it's like declassified fruits. So technically, yes,
Speaker 1: I don't think Charles Shaw is one of them, but
Speaker 1: there's some other labels that, yeah.
Speaker 2: What region know the world is the Blood of Christ from.
Speaker 1: Ooh, I don't think I'm gonn answer that one.
Speaker 2: Were they normally serving in church for communion?
Speaker 1: I haven't been in a lot of years.
Speaker 2: Our church always did grape juice when I was a kid.
Speaker 1: They like box wine because it'll stay good longer.
Speaker 2: Maybe how advanced are you? Can you identify the great
Speaker 2: varietal and year if I pour you a glass of anything?
Speaker 1: Or not always? But sometimes I blinded two wines last
Speaker 1: week and I called it surraw from France, but it
Speaker 1: was sorrow from New Zealand, so I got the great
Speaker 1: bright in general age. And then there was another one
Speaker 1: I called Panagree from All Sauce and it was peanablong
Speaker 1: from All Sauce.
Speaker 2: I mean that to me is what I And there's
Speaker 2: somebody that can always get it right. Are there always
Speaker 2: some guessing. Get it.
Speaker 1: It's it's a it's a grid, and it's a deductive tasting.
Speaker 1: So you're deducing, so you're saying by color. It's you're
Speaker 1: saying the color, so you're essentially saying what it's not.
Speaker 1: So if it's deep and ruby and rich, and you're
Speaker 1: saying it's not peana, no, or it's not gonbula, it's
Speaker 1: not grenache. So then you and then you get through
Speaker 1: and you guess at the end.
Speaker 2: Okay, do you're educated do all the stuff with the wine?
Speaker 1: I don't know what that means.
Speaker 2: You know what it is? Were you where it's like
Speaker 2: your your stick in your no, you're swishing, you're doing
Speaker 2: all of that.
Speaker 1: So blind tasting is a skill set that you have
Speaker 1: to hone to become assemblier and for exam purposes. But
Speaker 1: I'm not often blinding anymore. What I'm tasting for usually
Speaker 1: is for the list. So I'm just tasting to see
Speaker 1: if it sound, if it makes sense, if it's price appropriate,
Speaker 1: and if it's going to go on the wine list.
Speaker 1: But if you're a guess at a restaurant, the only
Speaker 1: thing that you're tasting smelling for is a fault you're
Speaker 1: just making sure it's not gross.
Speaker 2: Do all the different types of glasses for wines that
Speaker 2: let let them breathe? And what's the other word I want?
Speaker 1: Open?
Speaker 2: Open? Does it? Do they really make that big of
Speaker 2: a difference.
Speaker 1: They make a difference. They do make a difference. It
Speaker 1: just depends on if it matters to you or not.
Speaker 2: These chunky bottle openers that are so big that can't
Speaker 2: fit into any drawer. And then when I put this
Speaker 2: stupid thing in a drawer, you know, it's always the
Speaker 2: nice ones that just in a one pole. But then
Speaker 2: I open the drawer, Oh, one of the arms grabs
Speaker 2: on and now I've got to like whittle my skin
Speaker 2: any arm in to do some more it? Don't you
Speaker 2: feel everyone should be forced to use a corkscrew? And
Speaker 2: a corkscrew only sure?
Speaker 1: And then you should have forcing people to do stumps.
Speaker 2: Okay, what kind of bottle opener do you use?
Speaker 1: That's my question, waiters. Corkscrew? Easy, that's it.
Speaker 2: That's it.
Speaker 1: And a knife there's one on there. And then if
Speaker 1: it's an old bottle, I've got a durand is a
Speaker 1: tool that I use.
Speaker 2: These questions are not from me. These are questions from Carrie,
Speaker 2: my wardrobe stylist. By the way, this is fucking the
Speaker 2: itchiest thing I've had on in quite some time.
Speaker 1: Great can I do to hear her questions?
Speaker 2: Is organic wine better for you?
Speaker 1: Well? Okay, so you know, vitt to culture is everything
Speaker 1: that happens before the vine and the grape is picked, vinicultures,
Speaker 1: everything that happens after organic is really only talking about
Speaker 1: the first half.
Speaker 2: So maybe is it bad to put ice cubes in
Speaker 2: your rose?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 2: Okay? Who invented froze? And can we make it stop?
Speaker 1: I don't know. Probably not.
Speaker 2: Poors so small and foody restaurants.
Speaker 1: If you're doing a tasty menu, you're gonna get a
Speaker 1: two to three ounce poor it depends, and then your
Speaker 1: pores are five or six ounces everywhere else.
Speaker 2: Why do wine pairings at a ten course fine dining
Speaker 2: restaurant involve an insane amount of alcohol.
Speaker 1: Because you're paying for it. It's usually pretty expensive.
Speaker 2: It's so much.
Speaker 1: Yeah, is it okay to share a pairing? Yes, that's
Speaker 1: not lizly No, not by me?
Speaker 2: Okay, Why is sincere so delicious?
Speaker 1: Sansa's a little subregion of the Laire Valley in France
Speaker 1: that plants exclusively savignon blanc, and I call it like
Speaker 1: the ballerina of savignon blanc. New Zealand can be grapefruity
Speaker 1: and grassy and super parasitic, and then California can be
Speaker 1: ripe and pineapplely and sometimes oaked, and then Sanserras just
Speaker 1: sits in the middle, pulls a little bit from each.
Speaker 2: Why does red wine cause sleepless nights?
Speaker 1: Well, that seems like a deeper question. I don't know.
Speaker 1: People are affected by different things, probably the alcohol.
Speaker 2: Why can't the people who pour tastings in wine country
Speaker 2: tone down the spiel for guests who really don't give
Speaker 2: a shit.
Speaker 1: You could just lead with that. You could say, I
Speaker 1: don't give a shit, I'm here to.
Speaker 2: Okay, Because sometimes just I'm like, there's no way anybody
Speaker 2: that's at this tasting is processing a word that's coming
Speaker 2: out of their mouth.
Speaker 1: And they're just trying to They have to sell wine
Speaker 1: to make money, so they're just trying to weave the
Speaker 1: web and make a story and get you drunk enough
Speaker 1: to sign up for the wine club.
Speaker 2: I just like hearing about the land and how they
Speaker 2: built the house and how when a fire came through
Speaker 2: they were out there with the hose. These are those
Speaker 2: that's always what impresses me. They I don't want to
Speaker 2: buy a barrel, and they're like, what are you going
Speaker 2: to do with it? Am I going to turn into
Speaker 2: a video game console or something? And they would just
Speaker 2: have a good time. Do you have any barrels in
Speaker 2: your house?
Speaker 1: I do not.
Speaker 2: Do you like it when people repurpose a barrel for
Speaker 2: something you don't charming? A nice but in a cabin
Speaker 2: setting and you're still against it? No, I can't. I
Speaker 2: can't come up with a scenario where you think it's cute.
Speaker 1: Probably not.
Speaker 2: What's your favorite place in Europe to vacation?
Speaker 1: My favorite wine region I've ever been to is Alsas.
Speaker 2: Forget wine region? Is there another region that I do?
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, all of my travels around wine region? What
Speaker 1: was it? All's US northeast? It borders Germany.
Speaker 2: I was born in Germany. I don't remember it though.
Speaker 2: You know what I found out recently that my mom
Speaker 2: just blew my mind with I. We we were talking
Speaker 2: about going to Portugal or something, and she goes, I
Speaker 2: lived there for two years. I would move back in
Speaker 2: a second. I was like, what, didn't even never knew.
Speaker 2: There's just something horrible about how you don't realize how
Speaker 2: much life your parents had before you were born.
Speaker 1: That her sounds really cool, just selfish.
Speaker 2: I'm just a selfish son. I should call her and
Speaker 2: check in on her. Everybody's on the show gets gifts.
Speaker 2: It's just stuff for my house. A lot of it
Speaker 2: is first thing I'm giving you.
Speaker 1: Okay, that's awesome, full bottle oxy clean.
Speaker 2: Now the reason I'm getting put the half bottle. But
Speaker 2: what it hasn't been used yet?
Speaker 1: No, that's like it's like a small format.
Speaker 2: No, no share please, Okay, I do you know how
Speaker 2: much oxy clean I go? I have two young kids.
Speaker 2: Everything has to get sprayed, okay, and I'm guessing you're
Speaker 2: having some wine spilled shair. So I'm like, why not
Speaker 2: just give you bottle of this. But the real reason
Speaker 2: I'm giving this to you is because I want oxy
Speaker 2: Clean to start sending me free crates this ship, okay,
Speaker 2: because all I do is spray all my kids laundry
Speaker 2: all day long with oxy Clean. Oh, it's max Force.
Speaker 2: That's good stuff. You're gonna love that.
Speaker 1: Thank you.
Speaker 2: I got this was in my house. No idea where
Speaker 2: it came from. It's a teeth whitening. I'm thinking with
Speaker 2: wine every now and then, who knows? There you go
Speaker 2: this now, this, this is? This is nice? You were
Speaker 2: gonna like this first of all? Okay, aren't they nice?
Speaker 2: This is it's not wine. I know about it. Somebody
Speaker 2: got this from I think, Uh, one of my wife's siblings.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I got him a water bottle, my kid.
Speaker 2: But it's got a crystal in it. It was like
Speaker 2: a one hundred bucks or something. I don't know what
Speaker 2: it's supposed to. Uh, it's supposed to do something to
Speaker 2: the water. And I'm like, listen, just because my kids
Speaker 2: in California has long hair, I don't need to. I
Speaker 2: didn't need to set them up for failure in life.
Speaker 1: All Right, I've been I can put wine in there.
Speaker 2: You do whatever you want with it. It's got a
Speaker 2: crystal in it, okay, and it's never been used. And
Speaker 2: it's by the way, do you have you heard of
Speaker 2: these water somaliers? Is that just bullshit? Well, you've got
Speaker 2: a crystal bottle of water. Good luck bringing that through
Speaker 2: security anywhere. I think it's stupid. Thank you you're taking that.
Speaker 2: This has to come off the table. Okay, you speaking
Speaker 2: of them. There's a two for they got it. This
Speaker 2: is an old book a cheese. It's from Williams Sonoma.
Speaker 2: Like it's faded. It's just like been in a shelf,
Speaker 2: like I don't do you like cheese?
Speaker 1: Do you love cheese?
Speaker 2: Oh? Man, this is awful. What is it? Is it
Speaker 2: just to read about cheese? Is that I'm supposed to great?
Speaker 2: It's great? Well whatever that's yours?
Speaker 1: And it is really faded.
Speaker 2: I don't thumb it now. This is the bottom. My
Speaker 2: wife was drinking two nights ago. She didn't finish it.
Speaker 2: I figured you can have the rest of it if
Speaker 2: you want it so much. That's how much she left
Speaker 2: after drink.
Speaker 1: That's a very funny amount to leave.
Speaker 2: Agree, Yeah, and I go this is the refrigerator. I'm like,
Speaker 2: what is it?
Speaker 1: And a half? Is that?
Speaker 2: Is that ship wine that she was drinking? Say it?
Speaker 1: I won't.
Speaker 2: It's ship hunt, I will not, but it is.
Speaker 1: I won't say that.
Speaker 2: Okay, why won't you say that?
Speaker 1: I won't speak negatively about wine.
Speaker 2: Oh they can't hear you.
Speaker 1: They can and will the wine, the winemaker, the.
Speaker 2: Human I thought you didn't want to hurt the wines
Speaker 2: because because you know it's at the end of its
Speaker 2: life when it's poured into a glass. I was going
Speaker 2: back to that and that you were like, no, no, no,
Speaker 2: let them go out peacefully, which is also you're you
Speaker 2: just go finish that off for me. Okay, fine, nobody's
Speaker 2: taken that, and we're not going to talk bad about
Speaker 2: the one.
Speaker 1: No. I made wine in New Zealand, and I'm taught
Speaker 1: me not to speak negative about It's so hard.
Speaker 2: It's probably is it a relative small circle even though
Speaker 2: it's global. You know all these players. What do you
Speaker 2: say to all these people that are trying to tell
Speaker 2: us that any amount of alcohol is bad for us?
Speaker 1: Over it? Hate that? So, okay, I say that because
Speaker 1: I've been to a lot of wine regions and the
Speaker 1: amount of eighty ninety year old people that are completely
Speaker 1: mentally sound and physically sound more so than a lot
Speaker 1: of other countries, have been drinking a bottle of wine
Speaker 1: a day since they were like six, and they're cruising.
Speaker 2: So you think that I should offer my six year
Speaker 2: old a bottle of wine.
Speaker 1: I don't think I should say that.
Speaker 2: No, No, I mean I don't. I have nothing to
Speaker 2: argue with what you're saying, but I also am like, well,
Speaker 2: just because somebody drinks a bottle of wine and lives
Speaker 2: to be one hundred and healthy, that doesn't necessarily mean
Speaker 2: that it is healthy.
Speaker 1: Sure. Sure, but I also think that it's being like
Speaker 1: it's the devil and the conversation. I think binge drinking
Speaker 1: is probably terrible. I think whatever's going into Yeah, if
Speaker 1: you're like taking shots of fireball, that might not be
Speaker 1: the best. But if you're having like a bottle of
Speaker 1: wine that was made down the street and has no
Speaker 1: nothing added to it.
Speaker 2: All right, So Sarah, you've brought some wines for me
Speaker 2: to taste. I'm a little congested. Will that affect me?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Of course.
Speaker 2: Okay, let's go. Well, let's watch your open a bottle clean?
Speaker 2: So fun? Is that your special?
Speaker 1: No? No, I was gonna since you give gifts, I
Speaker 1: was going to give you a used cork screw from
Speaker 1: my car center console.
Speaker 2: Why is it from your car?
Speaker 1: It always happened.
Speaker 2: That seems like it's a problematic if you get pulled over.
Speaker 1: No, it's not like I don't have wine.
Speaker 2: Okay, what do I have to do?
Speaker 1: Well, we're not going to walk all the way through
Speaker 1: because what I was telling you do I.
Speaker 2: Need to do that? Sure, that's kind of and then
Speaker 2: it's like mine wasn't doing it. Mine wasn't going pretty there,
Speaker 2: I go there, I use my left hand.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, and then dig your nose in there and
Speaker 1: take a big sniff mm hm anything.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it sells like all alcohol.
Speaker 1: Okay. So this is reasoning from the finger lakes.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, spending time in the finger lakes.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I went there once. It was awesome. It's pretty right,
Speaker 1: it's beautiful. So I have different people have different tells.
Speaker 1: So I I have like certain things that I smell
Speaker 1: in wine, and I know it can guide me to
Speaker 1: what the wine is. So I have two tails for reasoning,
Speaker 1: and I want to if you get if you smell
Speaker 1: either of them after I tell you what they are.
Speaker 1: So my first hell is lime jello.
Speaker 2: Fuck off? Come on, No, I don't smell lime jello.
Speaker 2: I guess you do. I'm the other the ten percent
Speaker 2: or whatever.
Speaker 1: Sure, and you're congested, so that's not it.
Speaker 2: Ida. I can smell fine now that now that my
Speaker 2: nose is in here.
Speaker 1: And then my other one is it's either petrol or
Speaker 1: like basiline. Oh, dig it back in.
Speaker 2: There, petrol.
Speaker 1: Get it?
Speaker 2: Mm hmm, but I think I'll say that. Oh Am,
Speaker 2: I supposed to taste it.
Speaker 1: Sure, we're not going by any rules. I just want
Speaker 1: you to. I just like changing people's minds on raisling.
Speaker 1: So also, people usually think greasling is really sweet.
Speaker 2: Okay, and this is not. What do you think it's delicious?
Speaker 2: It's it's fine, it seems good. All right.
Speaker 1: We're only gonna do one more because I want.
Speaker 2: To do I don't want food. We want me to
Speaker 2: do one with food.
Speaker 1: It's a little bit of food.
Speaker 2: What kind of food do you I have to eat?
Speaker 1: Blue cheese?
Speaker 2: Blue cheese?
Speaker 1: Blue cheese? Really?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: All right, then we want it.
Speaker 2: I mean I'll eat a little blue cheese.
Speaker 1: I just like a lot of blue Get a pair
Speaker 1: well with whatever she has?
Speaker 2: It is, am, I supposed to finish this?
Speaker 1: You can. My stomach is crawling.
Speaker 2: Oh man, look at this.
Speaker 1: So this was one of my first wine pairings with food,
Speaker 1: and this one I don't know. You tell me BlackBerry jello? No?
Speaker 2: All right, what do I need to know about this?
Speaker 1: So this is one of my favorite things that changed
Speaker 1: the way that I feel about food in mine. So
Speaker 1: actually we're gonna sip the wine first. So this is
Speaker 1: vintage Port, so it's gonna be kind of viscous and
Speaker 1: heavy on the tongue and rich and sweet. So sip
Speaker 1: the wine first.
Speaker 2: Sip it.
Speaker 1: Yah, it's sweet, it's thick, it's delicious. Take a little
Speaker 1: piece of blue cheese.
Speaker 2: Take a little piece of blue cheese. Oh that's a
Speaker 2: big piece.
Speaker 1: You still can't cut it in half? Yep, good, eat it,
Speaker 1: and then immediately drink the port. It like cancels each other,
Speaker 1: mellows each other out.
Speaker 2: It's just it's disgusting. And by the way, I'm so
Speaker 2: glad I brought these, Sarah. I know I'm wrong. I
Speaker 2: know I'm wrong, but like I could gag.
Speaker 1: Anyways, that's technically a perfect bearing.
Speaker 2: I still have blue cheese in my mouth, and deel
Speaker 2: blue cheese.
Speaker 1: A little there we go, there we go.
Speaker 2: Oh man, so much blue cheese.
Speaker 1: You have the tiniest beech.
Speaker 2: It's so thick, it's like coat your teeth.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's so good with vintage Port.
Speaker 2: But this goes with everything.
Speaker 1: Sure, it goes with a lot, a lot, a ton
Speaker 1: most things. Oh my god, he's eating the cheese. Sorry,
Speaker 1: your dog's eating the blue cheesel.
Speaker 2: Give him the port so that he can balance it out. Come,
Speaker 2: come over here, How will reimburse you?
Speaker 1: Carl?
Speaker 2: Come here? How do you want to balance out the
Speaker 2: blue cheese? Are you having fun? Do you say? Oh
Speaker 2: I like this life? Yes? That's good?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I love it.
Speaker 2: Where are you gonna end up? You're going to stay in.
Speaker 1: The south of France.
Speaker 2: Oh good for you.
