To commemorate Memorial Day we're keeping it vet-centric. Our guest and guest hosts have all served in the US Armed Forces, and now have brilliant careers in the beverage industry. Our guest is winemaker and co-founder of Carlotta Cellar, David Grega. We drink David's wine while he talks about his time in the Army, his path into wine, and the Honor Wine project. Our guest hosts are Brian Kropf of Mutineer Magazine and Steve Schneider of Employees Only in NYC. (correction: Brian has a lovely girlfriend, but does not have his own family yet... despite the confusing photos he posts on Facebook!)

The brave die never, though they sleep in dust:
Their courage nerves a thousand living men. - Minot J. Savage

Darek Bell, Corsair co-founder and distiller, is our guest. We talk to Darek about how and why Corsair started using such unusual grains and malts out of the gate (Lucky for us they did!), Corsair's unique spin on classics, hops in whiskey, and we get a chance to taste some delicious spirits, including a collaboration Corsair did with Mikkeller. Our guest hosts are Toby Maloney and Mika Wist.

Master Distiller, Dave Pickerell, talks a bit about his time at Maker's Mark (not to worry - he caught the craft bug!), distilling in China, some of his current projects (Hillrock Estates Bourbon, Widow Jane, Whistlepig Rye, George Washington's Rye, etc, etc, etc..) and "putting feet on dreams". Dave is a natural-born storyteller. We could drink his whiskey and listen to him talk all night long. Our guest hosts are Philip Greene, author of To Have and Have Another: A Hemingway Cocktail Companion and Rachel Ford, half of the duo behind Ford Mixology Lab. Music: Juice - Keep It Moving
