Ongoing petition to do the "Drunk Chefs remote control Sober Normals" here is why. 1. It would be an absolute blast and very funny. 2. It could be a chance to bring back James or poppy or a new guest chef. 3. It is SAFE the normals who would be cooking would be sober and in no way intoxicated. The chefs would be drunk giving instructions. 4. You can pluggy plug plug your Gin! Love you guys!

I totally agree, but lets take it up a notch. Mike and Jamie, who have some basic wine knowledge, don't know that this is what the episode will be about. As in, you sit them down and have different wine/food pairings. Some are designed to be good, some bad. They have to tell the difference, and why.

@stone5against1 Жыл бұрын

Basically, they're not stuck using only the grapes from their region.. So a Bordeaux can't use grenache or mourvedre or shiraz because they don't grow there, same way a wine from the Rhone region can't use cabernet sauvignon that was grown in Bordeaux.. But a Vin de France wine can mix both and call it a day. So basically, regional wines give you more of a terroir feel, and broader appellations give more freedom to the winemaker to make something different (but you can also make cheap wine that way, because you can just buy whatever grapes and mix it all and ferment it, lots of boxed wines or wines that just say "table wine" are made this way.. You don't really know what's in it most of the time but usually people who buy those don't care about that information.

@TheCatWitch63 Жыл бұрын

Lately, I have been leaning toward blends because that’s where winemakers are being able to put their creativity to work and show their brands’ innovative skills. Although I still love single varietal wines from well established houses, it’s become an adventure, and oftentimes a pleasure, to explore new trends and labels.

Hi (: I currently work in helath and social care. I was wondering if you guys have ever explored SALT assessments, an assessment often used to guide carers on what we can feed the clients we work with based on textures and them being able to eat and swallow the food. The assessments often limit food massively and ist hard to find many options to give our clients, there's only so many times someone wants to eat mash potatoes! I think it would be a really cool thing for you guys to research and come up with some creative and delicious options and ideas for those with very limited options (:

I would have loved for Christina to discuss temperature as well! My understanding is that white wine should be chilled, reds at room temp. Now I'm curious how much of a difference that makes, especially when eating with food pairings.

Most of the time you also want to chill your red wines, as room temperature is most often colder than the temperature in your room

(You got me with the Coriander+lemongrass! I still guessed a white wine would be best though.) I really appreciate the educated answer to the “”dumb”” questions Mike was asking!

As a Retired Wine Buyer (8 years at Nieman-Marcus, 11 as Wine Director for a 32 Store Liquor/Wine Chain with 17 prior years before those as an Intern in Retail Wine Departments) calling 'Vin De France' Winemakers the "Artist of the Wine World" was not only a Slap in the face to literally Thousands of hard working Winemakers worldwide using their expertise to create their (KEY Word Here) UNIQUE 'Art in a Bottle,' but also thousands of other Wine Professional's and normal Wine Lovers that think your opinion is just 'slightly' biased and uninformed. During My time in the Wine Business, I was lucky to not only meet and get to know several hundred of these individual 'Artist', but also became Friends with many over the years. If She does not think that ANY Professional Winemaker outside of Vin De France is NOT an Artist, she not only should be embarrassed but also needs to find a New Gig. Otherwise fairly Spot On...

It's great that Mike enjoyed the wines despite not being a wine drinker at all, and was great at describing what he was tasting. I predict he will give wine a shot at home or in a restaurant now. I am not a beer drinker typically unless I am at a brewery with friends I would always get wine. However if my partner is having beer I would have a taste and there are so many great kinds brewed here in Ontario. Also ciders, spirits, and even sake. Also non-alcoholic options which are decent. And of course beautiful wineries where you can get a flight of what they have to offer to learn more. Funny in wine country you see groups that are staying at bed + breakfasts nearby biking around to tour the vineyards that are pretty close together so that everyone can partake for some fun without driving.
