On this episode I'm joined by Carter and Leo for some Bourbon Talk.  While we discuss various topics in the world of bourbon we are also sipping on some Eagle Rare.   Some of the topics we discuss are - Has bourbon peaked?  Where have the store picks gone?  Secondary prices are falling?  Is the bourbon market oversaturated with NDP's and Craft Distilleries? among other topics. The Eagle Rare is 3 bottles that are picks from 3 different stores, Ryan's Liquor, Twin Liquor and Longhorn Liquor.  Carter, Leo and myself picked the Ryan's liquor, we thought it'd be fun to put it in a blind and see how it shows against two other picks we know are pretty good.  Contact or Follow Rob:  www.foodwinewhiskey.com  [email protected]  @foodwhiskey on X  @food_wine_whiskey on IG  Join the Food, Wine, and Whiskey FB Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/533352930766813   #food #whiskey #bourbon #wine #homecook #cook #BBQ #foodie #Italy #barolo #cabernet Sauvignon

On this episode I'm joined by my wife Sandra and we discuss our food, wine & whiskey journey in 2023.  She flips the script in this episode and asks me questions on our experience in each of these categories.   2023 was a great year for us - we explored so many new wines and foods.  I had to apologize to the French, big apology.  And we touched on coffee, which will become more of a topic on the show.   We finish by touching on a few goals for the podcast in 2024.    Follow Rob at   www.foodwinewhiskey.com   https://www.facebook.com/rob.clark.9277 - Facebook  @foodwhiskey - X  food_wine_whiskey - IG    Please email any comments or show suggestions to   [email protected]

I've always struggled with understanding the wine scoring system.  How does a wine get their score? Who are the people giving the scores? Why do some higher scored wines cost less than lower scored wines?  Can I used the scoring system to help me make purchasing decisions?  I'm joined by Master of Wine Susan R Lin and Master of Wine Bob Paulinski to answer these questions and more.

Wine Lists - Its that time of year, Top 100 wine lists are popping up everywhere.   As a consumer of wine, are these wine lists helpful or are they just a marketing ploy to sell more wine.  How do you dissect the list?  When you see the scores and the prices what the hell does it mean?  I give my opinion on all this and more on this episode.

Palmer and Joseph Constanzo to discuss their book - On the Rocks.  The book is about the rise and fall of the legendary Italian restaurant Primadona in Pittsburgh PA.  Joseph was the owner of Primadona and Maria is his daughter and grew up in the restaurant.  We discuss the book, the story of this restaurant, the state of dinning out in America today, and more.
