Spilling the Truth - Wine & Conversation

There are tons of late nights in the bar industry and conversations that cover all subjects. This is one of those conversations. We sat down with Chuck Fowler to discuss all the conspiracies that we hear serving guests at the bar and add our own take to them.    This is one of those types of shows that is genuinely as close as it gets to the conversations had at the bar top!

In this episode we invite Enes from Alesmith on to talk about the history and beers of Alesmith Brewing. We learn a lot about how the brewery got started, some of their specialty beers, and the charities and organizations they help out with.   Enes was born in in the former Yugoslavia and is a Bosnian native that moved from there to Tucson AZ, and later Phoenix. We talk a lot about this growing up there and moving to the states, and what it is like to become a representative that helps open up markets and states for a brewery to get setup in. We hope you enjoy this episode!

In this episode with sit down with Ian Ribowsky, General Manager of Jean-Luc Colombo in Cornas in the Rhône Valley.   We had an amazing time talking with Ian about what it was like working the industry for the past few decades, and what it took for him to work with his good friend Jean-Luc.    We sat down and drank through a handful of different wines from Jean-Luc Colombo winery, and talked a lot about what makes up Rhône Valley styles and the rules that dictate how they are made.   We learned a lot from him and can't wait to have him back on again!   Wines Drank -Côtes du Rhône – “Les Abeilles” (The Bees) -Viognier “La Violette” (The Violette) -Picpoul de Pinet “Les Girelles” (name of a traditional fish from the Mediterranean Sea) -Côtes du Rhône – “Les Abeilles” (The Bees) -Cornas – “Les Ruchets” (The Beehives) Cornas – “La Louvée” (The She Wolf) -Cornas – “Terres Brulees” (The Burnt Lands)

In this episode, we sit down with representative Katixa Mercier from French Libations. French Libations represents a bunch of different French wines, spirits and ciders in America.    We talk bout everything from how she came up in the industry and her love of wine, as well as all things chip related. #chipfaced. She also helps Jonathan try to pronounce all the different wine labels, since she can speak multiple different languages, but as usual he fails pretty terribly.    We hope you enjoy this show!
