Pour Judgment

Simplify Productionspourjudgment.libsyn.com
Each episode will highlight a different kind of booze. Beer, wine, spirits, cocktails, etc. So, we have ourselves a sip or two and have a conversation about what we like or don't like about that particular drink. We share recipes, favorites, stories, and more than a few laughs as the show goes on. We're basically just hanging out, talking about booze and having a good time! Join us!

Our first musical guests, the band State to State come by to play us a few tunes and have some fun at the tasting table. They've recently released a 5 song EP called "Motives".

Episode 15: Concerto for Limoncello in A Minor

Khai and Brandon bring back a little bit of Italy for this episode featuring limoncello. This was recorded back to back on the same night as our Christmas episode, which may have been a mistake in hindsight. Limoncello is not for the noobs! It is sweet and delicious. But strong, packs a punch and will sneak up on you. In Italy, the places that make limoncello almost always have many different flavors other than the classic "lemon" to choose from. Give this episode a listen to find out which we l...

Episode 14: Hellooo Gin!

We came...we saw...we drank gin. For some of us it was a long, hard walk down a juniper tree lined road. Yet...we did press on. Even when the fire threatened to consume our lungs and olfactory systems and we thought we could not take another sip....we did press on. And yet for a strong few of us, gin was the elixir that breathed life into our bodies. And they did give thanks....and drank heartily.

We wish you all a happy, safe, boozy, and food stuffed Thanksgiving holiday! Our comrade, Adam, sadly missed this episode. Because, well...unfortunately, recording ourselves drinking booze and releasing those recordings to the world is not quite paying all of the bills just yet. But, we enjoyed this episode immensely all the same. The rest of the team found some Thanksgi...

In the spirit of trying something new, (get it? spirit?) the team brings 3 not-so-widely-known vodkas to taste. Now...we're not the biggest vodka drinkers generally, but we really enjoyed these! We were very surprised to have found such noticeable differences between the three. I think we'll all be a little bit quicker to order a vodka drink at the bars after this episode. Enjoy!

Episode 7: Red Wines Under $10

The holidays are right around the corner! Red wine is always an acceptable party favor or quick gift idea for all of the wine lovers out there. This episode showcases 5 red wines that won't break the bank. And, 1 or 2 of them could, quite possibly, impress those oh-so-refined wine connoisseurs out there. A few of us Pour Judgment folks are wine lovers themselves and they were certainly happy with a few of these. Also, we had our friend Jane sit in and share her thoughts as well. As you'll hear, ...
