Acquired Tastings

Dad and Josh sip on some brunch friendly cocktails. First Dad creates a board with some brunch foods and garnishes for his cocktail. Speaking of his cocktail he makes a Bloody Mary with Tito's vodka. He has a fun time with creating his garnish. Josh uses the Appalachian Sipping cream to make a strawberry milk punch. They enjoy sipping and enjoying the brunch snacks.

Dad is back! He and Josh sit down for a podcast on liqueurs. Josh pours the Appalachian Strawberry Sipping Cream and pairs fresh strawberries, smoked cheddar, and barbecue ribs. Dad shares Chambord and pairs, roasted potatoes, grilled steak with raspberry sauce, and intense dark chocolate. Its great to have Dad back on the show and to share a glass with him.

Its starting to warm up out there we thought it would be a good time to crack open some seltzers. First up the open the Fruit Smash Pink Lemonade seltzer from New Belgium. Secondly they crack the Strawberry Guava Topo Chico hard seltzer. They snack on steamed shrimp, teriyaki wings, Comte, speck, coppa, and cheddar. They enjoy getting into these summer drinks.

The weather is warming up. COVID seems to waining and wine, beer and cocktail events are coming back. On the eve of Wild Wine at the Zoo Jords joins Josh to talk about their tips for these events. While they are having this conversation they sip on a bubble, which most events start with, and a hidden gem. The bubble is the Kirkland Signature Champagne and the hidden gem is the Chateau Beau Soleil Pomerol. They pair Chicken Parmigiana Sliders from Flyway and they make a big board of speck, prosciutto, Barolo salumi, soppressata, coppa, Comte cheese, cheddar, goat cheese, gouda, and mozzarella on it. It a great time!

While dad is off adventuring again, Marie joins Josh for a virtual recording where they both go to Costco to get some of their in-house brand, Kirkland Signature, liquors. They both were able to get the 7 year old Tennessee Straight Bourbon Whiskey. As a second pour, Josh gets their anejo tequila which was very surprising. Marie was unable to get the tequila so she bought their Spiced Rum. They have a great time chatting about trying theses liquors and see where Kirkland could have a place in your home bar.

The week we talk time to share with you my adventure with the Beervengers. The Beervengers are our friends and a great beer podcast. I have a great time talking with them, sharing my origin story when it comes to beer and they ask Josh to join their ranks and come up with his Beervenger name. They are a great podcast and we highly suggest you check them out. Hope you enjoy! Cheers!

Class is in session with Josh as he discusses and pairs wine with food for Passover and Easter meals. He has the Chateau D'Aqueria Tavel rose with some traditional Easter food, ham, and four cheese scallop potatoes. For the Passover meal wine he serves the Kosher Barkan classic Cabernet sauvignon from Israel with kosher braised brisket, and latkes. He was able to find a kosher chocolate lava cake to try with both wines. There will be a video coming out along with this soon. Watch our social media pages for more details.
