279: An intro to wine
from Beer and Conversation with Pigweed and Crowhill Hosted by Pigweed and Crowhill
Mr. Energy, who knows a bit about wine, returns to the show to review three Chilean Cabernet Sauvignons, and discuss some basics about wine. The boys discuss white vs. red grapes, vintages, tannins, price vs. value, etc., as they drink their way through three cabs. What's the right way to buy wine? Is there a price where you can be sure you're getting good wine? And what about pairing wine with food? Do you have to drink red wine with red meat? How should a newbie approach the topic? What do you do if you want to bring good wine to a dinner party? Wine can get so complicated. What's the role of aging with wine? Should you turn up your nose at wines with a screw top? What do you do if you try a wine and don't like it? And what do you do when the waiter comes to the table and presents the cork? P&C and Mr. Energy try to demystify the topic.
