Gregory and Jeffrey's Immaculate Journey To The Wine Cellar

Beer isn't for everyone, you know. We feel that beer is too limiting a subject, so we've decided to re-evaluate and change the show a bit. Join us on an immaculate journey of sensations - WINE sensations.

The Uncut Version of Gregory and Jeffrey's Immaculate Journey To The Wine Cellar.

Too Much!

How long have you spent preparing this one? Man!
The accents are just out of this world. You really outdone yourself!
Is this the Post Gazette piece of which you spoke?

Now that Wal-Mart is a sponsor, why would you need donations?

Actually Gregory intended to

Actually Gregory intended to say Pittsburgh Tribune-Review and was talking about this article.

Wooo!

You guys are extreme!

Seriously, why you be hating on wine?

But Gregory and I love wine,

But Gregory and I love wine, we cant spit enough of it out! :D

It's not so much hating on wine, but rather we wanted to do the opposite of last year. And well, wine was the unlucky bystander caught up maelstrom. What is more stereotypically snobby than wine, caviar, yachting and Wal-Mart?

I'm still waitng for the Molson Golden episode

I don't care and I've had a few final brews before Passover, which starts tomorrow, so now I really don't care, but here goes.

Wouldn't it be great to try 25 beers in a siting without getting hammered and gaining ten pounds? You're always saying that you wish beer didn't get you drunk. Spitting solves the problem. That being said, I can't remember ever spitting out wine. Lastly I don't like wine snobs either, but they aren't any worse than the bearded fat guy in tie-dyed beer t-shirts who spends all of his vacation time visiting breweries and beer festivals.

Good day Jeffery,
Andrew

on the subject of spitting

I find spitting really robs you of a lot of the pleasure of the beer, not to mention the additional tastes as it travels down your esophagus (and hits nasal ganglia in the nasal cavity). That goes for any drink and/or food.

Spitting makes it so you don't get drunk, but robs you of some of the pleasure of the experience. That, to me, is too much of a negative.

Spitting

You must swallow beer to get all of the bitter flavors that come out on the back of your tongue, but you can fully experience a wine's flavor profile without swallowing.

yeah, but...

when judging beer you must address both flavor and mouthfeel. Flavor includes finish and aftertaste, neither can truly be experienced when not swallowed. Mouthfeel includes alcohol warmth, which is most pronounced in the throat after swallowing. These two components are very important to document or note when comparing beers of one style - as these subtle differences are what make a the difference between a "very good" and "world class beer".

1+1=2. No it doesn't you moron! 1+1=2.

Are you arguing with me? I don't get it. I said that you have swallow beer to experience the full flavor profile and you said the same thing, only in a more complete and detailed version.

I was making the point that you can get everything you need out of wine (including heat and finish) by sloshing it around in your mouth and spitting it out. That's why it's silly to bash wine tasting on the grounds that the process is different than tasting beer.

Yeah, I 'm talking to you! D'oh!

Hey man...

I don't actually read things before I reply - I just smell them, then type. Sorry, I totally misread that. I am an ass.

I think I know that guy!

Or maybe there's a BUNCH of bearded fat guys in tie-dyed t-shirts lurking around breweries and beer fests...

Cheers,

So I walk during lunch and I

So I walk during lunch and I hatch the great idea of listening to this while I walk. I'm walking through a neighborhood laughing my ass off. Got some great looks from the housewives watching their kids play in their yards.

Great job guys!

thank you

everyone at work now thinks I am crazy for laughing at my desk for 10 minutes.

good job :)

Jolly good

Jolly good, boys!

My wife, Lovey, and I just adore your show. Why we got so wrapped up in your delightful banter that we were late to the polo match! It is so good to hear cultured gentlemen on this barbaric medium they call podcasting.

As a bit of feedback, I’d rather you not mention “beer” in your future shows. Lovey got so worked up when you did so during the last show, that almost choked on her cucumber sandwich. The poor thing has had the vapors for days.

Oh well, thank you for another stimulating episode, and I do so look forward to your pinot noir show. I am a fool for those velvety tannins and tangy acidity.

Thank you. Gentleman like you give me the strength to put the collar up on my polo shirt!

well said...

Sir James - *burp* it's peepul like you that make wine so pretenshus and unapproachable. *burp* I only listened to this here show becuz last years april 1 show was that EPIK! Gregory, please bring back the COW BELL... I had me Bud all chilled and reddy for slamming with you to, and with JUNIOR only getting 5th place yesterday - talk about adding insult to injury... my bud just seemeed to lack that cold flavor after the poor race and lack of extreem beer chugging.

Maybe next year you'll be X-Treme again - and maybe you can try the New SPYKES too! 12% alcohol and spicy lime flavor - it really kicks my Bud up a notch.

Thank goodness for the UNCUT!

Glad you left in all the out-of-character breaks...otherwise it would have been a 60 second show!!!

So, how are you going to top this one next year?

Cheers,
Scott

Uncut???

Man... I got to end of this masterpiece... And I find out there is an uncut version??? Back to the Mp3 player!

Brilliant guys. You should try some Spanish reds next time. They have a nice rotten fruit and tobacco flavor!

The extra extended feed was very funny, however your supposed to fool into believing the outragacy (made up word). He's what you could have done: Make the announcement that due to all of the buzz created by Dan Shelton's interview, you have invited him to join you as a co-host and he has accepted your offer.

Cheers,
Andy

On another note:
The wine drinkers who piss me off are the ones who take wine as seriously as a depressed 15 year old takes his or her Cure records. They'll serve beer in frosty glasses and say things like, "It's only beer, you don't have to knock yourself out with the meal or decor [like you would with wine]." Andrea Immer is guilty of this. The Raytard is actually really good when it comes to beer.
