What The Hell Does That Taste Like? Vol. 2
October 29, 2021 10:00 - 58 minutes - 53.3 MBIt’s been nearly two years since we answered the question “What the Hell Does That Taste Like?” For every Jack Daniels, Bud Light or Apothic Red, there are even more products in our stores that most customers aren’t familiar with.

If we answer your question during a podcast, you’ll get a $20 Binny’s Gift Card...
Czech Out These Beers
October 08, 2021 10:00 - 48 minutes - 44.6 MBRoger put some real time and effort into this week’s episode of Barrel to Bottle, all about Czech Pilsners. He’s also asking Greg to be on his best behavior since he usually doesn’t like these kinds of beers. Roger has long encouraged listeners to check out lagers and more and more local breweries are making pilsners, so it’s never been easier to czech these beers out.

The Red Wine Drinker's Pairing Dilemma
August 27, 2021 10:00 - 40 minutes - 37.5 MBA few weeks ago, Binny’s wine manager Emily joined us for a junk food and wine pairing. When Binny’s Wine Director Barb Hermann heard about that episode, she wanted in on the action. Barb is fundamentally a red wine drinker, especially when she’s sitting down with food. But very often, white wine is the standard recommendation for her favorite Thai, Indian and Chinese dishes. Today, she’ll help solve this dilemma. We’re also joined by wine manager Scott Becker, a classically trained chef in ...
Oktoberfeast
August 20, 2021 10:00 - 57 minutes - 52.5 MBWelcome to Barrel to Bottle, the podcast where Roger forces his strange, obscure interests on the listening audience. We’re changing things up this year though, and not sampling the same six Märzens and Festbiers.

We do have some beer, but also wine, Brophy-approved cocktails, and some digestifs to help you reset after a long day of partying.
Savory Cocktails
August 13, 2021 10:00 - 54 minutes - 49.7 MBWhen you think savory cocktails, the Bloody Mary is probably the first thing to pop into your mind.

Check out our blog for all of the cocktail recipes featured in this episode. If you have a question for the Barrel to Bottle Crew...
Fruit King Syrup Spectacular (or Making Simple Syrup Anything But)
August 06, 2021 10:00 - 54 minutes - 50 MBWe at Barrel to Bottle have always advocated for treating yourself to high quality ingredients. Sugars are no different.

Junk Food and Wine Pairings
July 23, 2021 14:59 - 44 minutes - 41 MBNot every meal is sitting down with five courses that took hours to prepare. Sometimes you're just vegging out on the couch with whatever you have in your kitchen. Microwave nachos, grocery store donuts, cheap ramen, cheap pizza. That doesn't mean you can't pair those up with some delicious, reasonably priced wines. Wine Manager Emily takes the Barrel to Bottle Crew through some of her favorite junk food and wine pairings.

When you Google “summer cocktails”, the usual suspects come up. Roger wanted to shake things up with some similarly refreshing and simple cocktails that maybe you haven’t heard of before. The great thing about summer is all the fresh, on-hand fruit and herb ingredients that you can get from the store or even your backyard garden. For all the cocktail recipes, check out our blog.
Macro Lager Blind Tasting
July 02, 2021 10:00 - 55 minutes - 50.8 MBIf you’re a regular Barrel to Bottle listener, you may have noticed that Pat Brophy likes Hamm’s beer. A lot. Possibly in an attempt to illicit Pavlovian response in listeners and co-hosts alike, Pat brings up Hamm’s-the beloved, the crispiest of Crispy Boys-in nearly every episode. If you haven’t noticed his ubiquitous mentions of Hamm’s, in a way we envy you. With this massive target on his back Pat (along with Greg, Roger and Shannon) partakes in a blind tasting of macro lagers, adminis...
Lo-Cal Wines
June 25, 2021 10:00 - 44 minutes - 40.9 MBThe Wellness Movement has blown up over the last year and a half. Gabriel Z, wine manager at Lincoln Park, joins the Barrel to Bottle crew for a "run" through four examples of "better for you" wines on our shelves. This is just the kind of topic Pat can get behind, the light beer episode of wine podcasts. But he still remains skeptical of the entire category, because alcohol is calories. Is this all just marketing BS or is there more to it? What's going on to make these wines low calorie? ...
Porch Pounders
June 18, 2021 10:00 - 48 minutes - 44.7 MBYou've probably heard us mentioning Porch Pounders, in passing, on Barrel to Bottle. But what are they?

Ranch Water
May 14, 2021 10:00 - 50 minutes - 46.1 MBRanch Water is hot right now, but what it is it? It's not agricultural runoff, nor is it a new style of IPA that mimics the Midwest's favorite dip. Ranch Water is a refreshing, three ingredient cocktail popularized in Texas. Now it's crossing over into the seltzer and ready-to-drink categories just in time for the hot weather. The Barrel to Bottle Crew tries a few of the latest offerings and also mixes up their own Ranch Water from scratch. Drink along at home with the following: Clark ...
White Burgundy

The Wines of Argentina
April 16, 2021 10:00 - 41 minutes - 37.7 MBJoin the Barrel to Bottle crew as we celebrate Malbec World Day and take a closer look at the wines of Argentina. Though Argentine wines have gained momentum on the export markets in the last 20 years, they are certainly not new to winemaking. In fact, #MalbecArgentino arrived in Argentina in 1853 in the hands of Michel Aimé Pouget (1821-1875), a French agronomist. Malbec has become Argentina's flagship grape, and while it's grown throughout the country, we focused our attention on the...

80s Cocktails
April 02, 2021 10:00 - 47 minutes - 43.4 MBThe 1980s were a time of excess, and that included the cocktails. The drinks were overly sweet and overly proofed. The Barrel to Bottle Crew is here to elevate some of the classic cocktails from the Me First Decade, or maybe just to drink them in their original, gaudy form. Plus, a bonus segment on the Shooters of the 80s.
Merlot
March 26, 2021 10:00 - 36 minutes - 33.1 MBMerlot deserves a second chance, and the Barrel to Bottle crew is here to give it one.

Alicia, Greg and Chris taste through four wines with Bo and talk about the history of his game-changing winery. Drink along at home with the following wines: Chateau Montelena Riesling 2019 Ch...
Irish Creams and Irish Whiskies
March 05, 2021 11:00 - 55 minutes - 51.2 MBIt's March, which means the Barrel to Bottle Crew is contractually obligated to talk about Irish spirits.

Q&A vol. 4
February 12, 2021 11:00 - 56 minutes - 51.4 MBThe Q&A segment used to be a regular segment on Barrel to Bottle, but our hosts and guests are so interesting that episodes started running long and we ran out of time.

Armagnac
January 15, 2021 11:00 - 50 minutes - 46.3 MBThink of Armagnac as Cognac's country cousin. It's an older, more rustic style that predates Cognac.
