I think we all have drinks.I think marks like some type of weird
ale. I've got bourbons. It'sa blood orange, uh blonde ale from
Weeds and seasonal lists and you can. You'll be listening to Brett's Morocca throughout

(00:24):
the podcast, will be shaking andtrying to get to the juice. It's
bottic of cranberry. But it's almostgone, so I'm gonna have to uh,
I have to go to the brownwater here pretty soon, so I
can. I have a nice bottleof whiskey sitting up above my fridge.
But I'm on this and I don'tknow if this makes me. I don't
know how I'm gonna be judged bythis next sentence here. I'm on a

(00:45):
wine kick right now. So yes, what we got? What do you
got some red wine? It's likesome uh see, this is where like
I'm not a big wine drinker quiteyet. They all kind of taste this
to me. So like murlou cab. This is a cab and it's the
list I might I might rock alittle uh little tequila here to move rock

(01:11):
some Don Julio. So what whatkind of So my dad Connor is a
huge, huge wine snob, andso he is kind of like his uncle
Alan California, Like he has someof the best chardonnay grapes out there,
and so he always has got metalking about wine. And so the cab
is is pretty good. Love Caberinet, Like there's a Merlau that's really good.

(01:37):
Like my uncle, my uncle he'sgot these, he's got these grapes
in California. They're some of thebest ones out there. Yes, in
the whole state in California. Ifyou look ups Crossings Crossing Crossing d U
T C H E R S iscrossing some of the best. And that's

(02:01):
what my old man says. It'sthe best shortened grip you'll find. I'm
like, all right, that bestshort grip you'll find. So, just
is there a tier system for likeMerlow's Cabs, Red Bland, those are
the only three that I know,But like, is there one that's more
expensive, one that's looked down upon? Well, like we we typically buy

(02:24):
all of our wine at jungle gyms, and they've got a section that's like
wine is graded. You can gradeit. It's great on a scale of
like between say eighty to one hundred, just like your grades, one hundred
being the highest. Anything over ninetyis considered really good. Right, So
they've got a section of jungle gymsthat are ninety under thirty is what the

(02:46):
section is called. So they're allbottles under thirty bucks that are rated over
ninety. Right. And typically ifwe're feeling a little frisky, we're having
company over, we want to geta decent bottle or two. We trust
anything we buy from that rack,right, but we all the There's also
an app on your phone you candownload called vvino. It's vi v I
n O and if you just scanany wine label, you can just scan

(03:09):
it with the app and hit enter. It'll pull up like what the average
prices across the country, what peopleon that app have said about it.
Don't buy it, this is craps. This is really good. It's the
best undervalued wine. So I eitheruse Vino or I just go to that
rack at jungle gyms and buy it. It's just blind because it's typically the

(03:30):
wine people at jungle gyms are reallygood and they're not couldn't put anything of
that rack. It's crap. Butthat's typically where I buy how I buy
my wine. And we're not hugewine drinkers, but we do like to
have just a few bottles around thehouse in case company comes over that we
can at least bring out, Sowe carry anywhere between three and six or

(03:51):
seven bottles typically is in our houseat any point in time, and a
few whites. But we're not hugewine drinkers, but we always have some
on hand. But that's that's typicallyhow I bought it. Marty. I
know you're not a country guy,but there's a great song out right now.
It's called cabin a solo solo inthe cabin wat truck. It's a
great song, it really is.Guy's just talking about sitting there his girl

of his truck. Oh nice,nice, I'll send I'll send the link

Connor, I don't think that there'sa hierarchy. I think it's just whatever

(04:35):
you liked. Some people like white, some people like red, some people
like Blend's. I think there's malBeck of Blend. No, that's a
greate. That's that's a red grape, is it. That's a type of
Yeah, that's a type of
