(00:00):
I think it's like going to be sloppy sauvignon your summer. What do you think?
(00:03):
I would never use words sloppy, but it is very hot outside. And it reached 101 in DC today.
I saw that. Okay. We are not used to that. Like, I mean, it happens every so often, but
it was stifling. It was fucking horrible. What do they call it? Like a thunder dome or something
(00:25):
when it gets that hot? A heat wave, I guess. Everything has a cute name these days. I wonder.
But anyway, I'm gonna call it a heat wave because that's what it is. And it's disgusting. And
it should break later this week. But it's not here too, but I feel like I don't know. I expect it,
(00:46):
so it doesn't shock me. Yeah, where you live, it's supposed to be hot. Well, whatever,
there is a dink. Well, I'm talking about save omblal, even though you know what, I'm not much of a
drinker, right? I haven't. Well, nowadays. Nowadays, right? I haven't been drinking for years now.
I feel like it's, I think since like the pandemic, I've kind of lost my taste for alcohol for whatever
(01:09):
reason. And, but it's got, it's like, it's coming back. It's how exciting those were those were good times.
Yes. And so remember last year we made an episode about that wine, not wine. It was that episode
with the lemon tequila drink. Yes. With strawberries in it and the jalapenos. I don't know. I
(01:32):
don't remember the strawberry part. But sure. Yeah, I don't know. So anyway, I have this friend who
makes this drink for every party. And I really look forward to drinking it. And she made it for me
the last day of school. She brought me like a little container with the drink in it, like a fair
well gift because I won't be seeing her because we're moving schools. And I had it like over like
(01:56):
an interval of three days. And I was like, man, this is so yummy. Then lo and behold, I get on Facebook.
And you know how they like read your mind or they listen to all your conversations and then you say
the ads. No, I know. So I got this this article, which is haggdewen where all the girls are putting
frozen sliced jalapeno in their sub in your own blog. Okay. Would you have to say it like that by the
(02:18):
way? I can say it's sub in your blog, which I looked up. And it's a dry wine, a dry white wine,
which I don't know what dryness means to the world, but to me, it just means it's not fruity. And it
kind of like, it gives you like that weird slickness in your tongue. Do you know what I mean when
(02:39):
you drink a wine that's dry? No, I mean, like I know I don't know if I would say it's a slickness in
your tongue. What is it? I don't know. Like I feel it has like more like like lip puckering,
like more tannins. Oh, fuck. Like that's what I you're connoisseuring all over me.
(02:59):
Don't never say that again, please. No one wants to hear this. It's a family show.
All over me. I think. Okay. Yeah. Tannins. I don't know what tannins do because I'm not as fancy.
It's what it's like like when you're lips pucker, that's the tannins.
What is a tanning? Like an acid? I don't know exactly what it is. I like, so I knew that like,
(03:25):
you know, when I work for tea companies because like the tannins and tea and so just the best
to describe it is just when it's lip puckering. Well, I'm gonna have to google that real fast because
I want to know what a tanning is. What is a tanning? Your mother? Gosh, your own fire.
A tanning. Tannins are naturally occurring chemical compounds found in many plants, including
(03:49):
grapes tea. Huh? And chocolate. There are type of polyphenol and in wine, they contribute to the
wine's texture, color and flavor. Tannins are responsible for dry, sometimes bitter like you
and astringent astringent. That's the word sensation in the mouth. Yes, I feel astringency that yes,
(04:10):
pucker. I feel that I am very happy that I was correct on this. A dry has to with the tannins.
I mean, you're old and you drink a lot, so I would come to you. Literally the same age. So
you're two days older. Okay, so this is what I did. I went to Tarje and I bought a seven-year-old
one that was on sale for, I think it was under $10 because I wanted to try this with a cheap wine
(04:33):
because sometimes you want to have a fancy drink and you don't have a big budget. I agree.
You know, and you want to be cute. You know, who doesn't want to be cute, especially in the summertime,
but it's 100 degrees. You want to serve something refreshing. That's true.
So this is what I did. I went two to three ratio, two hearts of lemonade, which I bought the,
(04:57):
what is that one that we like? Honey Bunny? Was it called? Is it the the minute made one? Simply lemonade.
Oh, yeah, that's a good one. That's my favorite one. That's my favorite one. And I bought a light one
which I don't, I don't recommend and I do this time and time again because I don't know, I don't
know, my 90s comes out in light lemonade flavor like without a brownie. Whoa. Leave my brownie
(05:20):
concoctions alone. You like your fat free and I like my sugar free lemonade. You like your fat free
brand. I listen, I love sugar free lemonade. I don't know. It's like I do you know what I don't like
about up living up here? Well, I like everything compared down there, but I will say you know like
I can't find lime made up here and I love lime made. Like I don't wear the fuck? I don't know. I don't
(05:41):
know what I'm talking about. What are fucking publics? Where you get your sugar free lemonade and next
to it, there should be a green bottle of this is lime made. Really? Can't find it easily? Yeah, I've seen it.
No, no, like I find lemonade, but not lime made. That's because we like our lemones. I know.
You win some you lose them. So listen, well, potato, potato, but I think you could do lime made with this.
(06:03):
But just don't do light because light is has a weird flavor to it that anyhow. So
two parts of your lemonade and three parts of your seven-year-old block the cheap stuff that you
want to get. I got an Australian one that I actually like. It was pretty pretty delicious,
(06:24):
but again, I am not the one to come to for these types of things like I'm I'm not a wine. I never
was either like I used to drink wine. I was just oh, it's a cheap. Okay, sure. Or whatever. If
somebody gave me this wine, I love wine. I love you. Do you really? No, I do. I really love wine.
I love to I love to. Okay, when you go out, when you go out, you don't you don't live next to me.
(06:45):
Okay, so you don't believe anything. Wouldn't that be great though if I did? It will be fun. One day.
I would cook you dinner and annoy the guy like that one time that you made me chicken cutlets and left
my apartment clean. That's day of my life. That would be your life, but okay, so so when you go
out, you drink wine, I don't believe you. Well, it depends where I go. If I'm like like where am I at?
(07:09):
You're going to say a lot of gin and tonic. Really? Yeah. Yeah, it's pretty clean. It's pretty clean.
Well, it's like refreshing and it's like it's just not like a heavy like sugary drink.
Right. I think I'm older. I don't like the sweet drinks. So, you know, the older I get,
I think the more I'm kind of liking a bit of a mixed drink. I don't like it. I don't like the
(07:35):
sugary mix drinks like once upon a time I did, but no. Okay. Okay, but now if we're like at a restaurant,
I like wine and I do like to go visit. Do you know that Virginia has 300 wineries? So, I do like to
go visit them. I've been told about them and I was promised a visit, but has not yet. My apologies,
(07:57):
don't come on a fucking Tuesday. Okay? Nobody. Okay. No, I need to fix that.
All right. Two to three, three parts wine to two parts lemonade. And then I put simple syrup in
mine, which I purchased already made simple syrup, which is less than $4 at Walmart. If you need to,
(08:18):
you can make your own one to one, right? Is one to one the ratio? Yeah, one to one. You melted over
the stove into the sugar dissolves. You let it cool. You have simple syrup, but you can always buy
it and there's nothing wrong with it. I don't know what's in it. Don't ask me. I don't care if it's
corn starch. There is nothing wrong with corn starch and moderation. I don't give a shit. I'm just,
there's only wrong with MSG and moderation. Whatever. I just I put it in there. Okay. And then I sliced up
(08:43):
jalapenos and I did freeze it and not because I think I think freezing jalapenos to put them in
wine is stupid. They're just going to unfreeze. Right. And they unfreeze quickly. So they're not really
adding anything to your like temperature control of your wine. Do you DC the jalapeno? I did not.
Okay. And then how many jalapenos to how much of liquid? Well, that's something that you would
(09:06):
choose on your own. However, I think I added about a quarter of a jalapeno. Okay. Not a lot. Because
I again, in my old rage, spicy things don't agree with me as much. Yeah, your tongue has gone really
bland. I'm insulted. You should be fix it. All right. So I did that. And then I sweetened it. I
(09:30):
think I added one table, one, no, I'm lying one teaspoon of simple syrup and I had it that day and
it was delicious. And now today, two days later, I'm having it. What's left over? And I let the jalapenos
kind of sit in there. So it's a bit more spicy. And I added a tinge more simple syrup just because
again, if you're like me and you're not used to drinking a lot of alcohol, I think sweeter is better.
(09:55):
Yeah, I got it. It's so good. It's even better because it is more spicy. And it's not a spicy that you're
like, oh, gross. No, it's just like a throat heat, which is what we used to call it in high school.
Right when I said that, I saw your face. Like I walked right into that one.
(10:21):
Ask first. So that's it. That's it. And then you just refrigerated. You can put it in a picture.
You can make it ahead of time. Nothing's going to happen to it. You could even make it the day before
because again, it'll make it a little bit more spicy. You can put some fruit in it, some strawberries.
You can mold them. Ooh, you know what else you could do? You can buy syrups. Like I have a blueberry
(10:43):
syrup for this other drink that I really want to talk about. It's a tea. It's non-alcoholic. And you
can even put a little bit of syrups in there with some real fruit. Yeah, you can see that. She's
taking a sip. Yeah, I am. And this guy's a limit and you can make a cheap bitch glass of wine into
something special. I like it. But they're it. Notice the respect I give you. And the disrespect you
(11:10):
give me. Okay. So I don't want to I don't want to hear about this. This is really sad. So that's it.
That's how you need to do. Make a little wine drink. Take it with you somewhere. Share it with a friend.
Do a Maryland does put it in a thermos.
A thermos. Go around town with it. What do they call those things a flask?
No, you're just going to put it in like you're like a thermos. Like soup. I'm going to drink it from
(11:36):
like the big top. You know, like the ones that they used to have. Like the 80s. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
They would twist off the top. Yeah. And it had a handle in it. Like that. Anybody would have those
you would. I would love one of those. And I could drink soup out of it. Because I love soup.
I'm craving soup, even though it's so hot. Is that fucked up? Yeah, I don't need soup.
(12:00):
I want a chicken soup, but like a Cuban chicken soup. We should talk about that. That's really
good. Oh my god. Cuban chicken soup. If you don't know what it is, it's like a kitchen sink soup.
Oh my god. I don't know anything like really. It has like that oil slickly on top of it,
even. It's really good. And you squeeze lime into it. We should talk about that one day. We should
make that again. Let's do it when the weather's cooler. The world is literally on fire. So you might
(12:23):
as well drink something cold and refreshing. An alcoholic. A little. Maddie, it's two parts lemonade,
three parts wine. It's a alcoholic. You're an alcoholic. Tonic. Man. No sense whatsoever. That's true.
The gin and tonic is good. So you know what? I love gin and tonic because it is lemony, but I have
(12:45):
an aversion because I drank it too much one good time. And since then I can't have it again. Oh,
that happens. Yeah. I got it. I feel about you, but for some reason I keep coming back.
Can't get rid of me. No, you're like a hopi. Look at my little hopi. Oh, you would know about that.
So you described this is a great episode. What are we going to call it? I want to call it a
(13:09):
slutty Sauvignon because it's hot and it's cheap. How about spicy Sauvignon? No, because that's
what all the people are doing. That's why they put on a group and a group and a group. Okay.
You guys see me and then email me what you think and tell me how I'm right. Eric is wrong.
Well, no, they're not going to email. They're going to be like, Eric, we love you. Thank you for
bringing your co-host along. Okay, you guys. Make sure you make this and make sure you tell a friend about
(13:35):
us and leave us a review on your favorite podcast player, which is probably Apple, which I think is
when you could leave a nice, make it nice review for us. And we'll see you next time. Take care. Bye. Bye.
