Video - Glenkinchie 10 year old Unboxing with John
Tuesday Apr 17, 2012
Tuesday Apr 17, 2012
Our very first vidcast - we hope to do more of these in the future, but keep 'em short and supplemental. http://youtu.be/-hlE-VUzNgc John's Uncle Al gifted him with a wonderful bottle of 10 Year Old Glenkinchie - which isn't in production anymore and that Tio Al has had forever. John was gracious enough to share the first sip with us - truly a once in a lifetime opportunity that we are incredibly thankful for.
- We are using Whiskey Rocks, as seen on Think Geek - but we got ours from Chapters/Indigo: http://www.chapters.indigo.ca/gifts/Whiskey-Rocks/837654927410-item.html These soapstone cubes cool the scotch while giving you the option to control how much water you'd like to add. Yes, we like our scotch at "castle temperature".
Thanks again, John and Tio Al for sharing!

Saturday Feb 25, 2012
Join us for a discussion on the origins and production of saké, and a tasting of four Junmai quality sakés: Sho Chiku Bai, Izumi, Hakusturu and Rihaku's Wandering Poet. We tried to be as accurate as possible, while sticking to our motto of "drink it how you like it". Much respect to the Toji near and far who make delicious saké - KANPAI!

Sunday Feb 14, 2010
http://zweifatchicks.podbean.com Feeling the post-Christmas crunch? Or just looking for a cheap, quick meal? Nothing stretches an already maximized budget like ramen noodles! A Chinese delicacy that was only available from restaurants until a post World War II Taiwanese-Japanese inventor pioneered a way to make them at home. In this episode, we taste six different ramen noodle packages.
