Glassware and Ice

Glassware. It's an essential part of the drinking experience, but there are so many options in wine, spirits and beer. Stemmed or stemless? Big bowl or small? Shaker pint or tulip? And what about ice? Big cube, small cube, sphere? Filtered water or tap? The Barrel to Bottle crew is here to help you sort through this madness and also prove that despite all the pretension it really does make a difference in how your drink tastes. Throughout the episode Pat will also be measuring how fast (or slow) the ice cubes are melting into the drinks with his fancy/ridiculous laser thermometer.   Drink along at home with the following wine, spirits and beer:

• Bear Path Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon 2017
• Elijah Craig Small Batch Bourbon
• Half Acre Bodem IPA
• Odd Side Ales Rye Hipster Brunch (Binny's Handpicked)

  With the following glasses and ice cubes:
