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.

por·ter (pôr'tər) n.
1. A person employed to carry burdens, especially an attendant who carries travelers' baggage at a hotel or transportation station.

Much like their namesake the porters we tasted on this show carried the heavy load of CBR. Every one was outstanding and while it made the show easy, the ranking was very very difficult.
