In this episode, Dave and Ray deep dive into "yeast" and its importance in the winemaking process. To kick off the episode, they start with a glass of Cristom Pinot Gris from Willamette Valley. Following their glass of Pinot Gris, they begin their tasting with another Willamette Valley producer, White Rose Estate, where they taste (3) identical Pinot Noir wines - all made the same way - with the only difference being the type of yeast that was used in the winemaking process. Each bottle has a different yeast strain. Will they be able to smell and taste the difference? Does yeast truly play a crucial part in the winemaking process? Does using a specific yeast deliver a potentially different wine? Listen to find out more!

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
