Sake is not a beverage we often cover on the podcast, but when we had the chance to talk to one of the great sake makers in the world, we jumped at the chance. In this episode we introduce you to Jun Kono of Sohomare, one of the world's premier sake makers, and Leo Lê Sommelier of the great Kappo Sono in New York City and Momoya. What a treat to meet these two leaders in their respective businesses, and get to know them. As you know, sake is often called “rice wine,” but that is not the best description of it because the brewing process is so different and complex. And while many sake makers are trying to chase more accessible and fresher versions of sake, Sohomare is focused on making deep, complex, and elegant sake that is made to be eaten with food. We know you will learn a ton, like we did, in this conversation, and come away with a new appreciation for one of the most significant alcoholic beverages in human history. Send us a Text Message and we'll respond in our next episode!Contact The Wine Pair Podcast - we'd love to hear from you!Visit our website, leave a review, and reach out to us:  https://thewinepairpodcast.com/Follow and DM us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thewinepairpodcast/Send us an email: joe@thewinepairpodcast.com

The idea of food and wine pairing is elusive at best. If you gave five Sommeliers the same dish and a host of wines to pair with the dish, you could very easily get five different suggestions. I know for me, when I pair wine and food, my first ideas usually don't work. Enter Dr. Peter Klosse and his research.   If you've ever stared at a wine list or picked up a tasting note and thought, "There's got to be a better way to make sense of all this," then this episode of Wine Talks is for you. Paul K sits down with Peter Klosse, the Dutch chef and flavor scientist who's shaking the very foundation of how we talk about taste. What unfolds is an insightful, casual, and story-rich conversation that bridges the wide and sometimes intimidating gap between what we like to eat and drink—and why we like it in the first place. Peter, who founded the Academy of Gastronomy and has worked with everyone from Michelin-star restaurants to academic researchers, brings forward the argument that taste doesn't have to be mysterious or completely subjective. He outlines how measurable factors—molecules, acidity, and something he elegantly calls "mouthfeel"—can, and should, inform how we approach both food and wine. Gone are the days of rigid regional traditions and cryptic sommelier speak. Instead, Peter's methods empower anyone, from the everyday wine lover to the master chef, to connect with wine and food on a deeper level. The episode is peppered with from-the-trenches anecdotes: Paul recounts customer calls from Europe, diners who try to recapture that perfect vacation meal at home, and the generational tug-of-war over wine language. Peter's responses never fail to surprise, elegantly reframing frustration into scientific curiosity and actionable tools. He's not out to replace the magic of a great meal—just to help everyone understand and repeat it, whether it's in a three-star restaurant or at your own dinner table. What's especially exciting is how Peter breaks down the concept of "liking" into something actionable. He describes how chefs and hosts can tailor dishes to individual preferences using the simple, science-based tools his research has uncovered. By the time the show wraps, you'll have a new lens for your next glass of wine, and a deeper appreciation for the art-meets-science at the center of every great meal.

Moritz-Christian Brand, Jahrgang 1990, ist einer jener Sommeliers, bei dem man spürt, dass er die Weinwelt ein klein wenig langsamer und interessanter drehen lässt. Nach dieser Episode wirst Du den Wunsch entwickeln, mit ihm einen langen Abend zu verbringen – weil er Wein versteht, wie ein alter Territoriumsheld sein Land definiert: aus dem Bauch, mit echter Zuneigung, ohne daraus eine Predigt zu basteln. Das ist keine Lebensweise, die er abends in den Spind hängt. Das ist ein Handwerk, das man sich erkämpft, Station für Station, mit den Händen, mit dem Gaumen, mit jenem Sturschädel, den die Besten dieser Zunft alle besitzen. Seine Lehrjahre begann er im Relais & Châteaux Hotel Bayerisches Haus in Potsdam. Was folgte, war eine Dekade Sternegastronomie: Gourmetrestaurant Lerbach unter Dieter Müller, Restaurant Nils Henkel (zwei/drei Sterne) in Bergisch Gladbach, die MS Europa, dann München – stellvertretender Chefsommelier im Tantris, schließlich Chefsommelier im Restaurant Atelier des Hotel Bayerischer Hof, ebenfalls drei Sterne. 2017 übernahm er mit seiner Frau Julia das Hotel Stadt Kassel in Rinteln – ein Traditionshaus, das durch diese Übernahme in eine andere Liga trat. Das Restaurant Fachwerk wurde zum Beweis, dass Spitzenqualität keine Metropole braucht. Die Weinkarte wuchs auf über 1.500 Etiketten aus 14 Ländern. Die Branche reagierte: Der German Wine List Award 2022 (VINUM) kürte das Fachwerk zum Sieger in der Kategorie Gutbürgerliche Küche; VINUM vergab zusätzlich die „Weinkarte des Jahres 2022”. Ebenfalls 2022 folgte die Ehrung „Ausgezeichnetes Weinkonzept” durch VDP und Meininger Verlag – ein Preis, der an die Person gebunden ist, nicht ans Haus. Das Deutsche Weininstitut kürte das Fachwerk 2024 zum Sieger in der Kategorie „Gehobene Gastronomie”. Hinzu kommen der Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence und die Aufnahme in die Star Wine List – beide als einziges Haus Niedersachsens. Das Rolling Pin Magazin listete Brand regelmäßig unter den 50 besten Sommeliers Deutschlands; die Jeunes Restaurateurs Deutschland nahmen Julia und Moritz Brand 2024 als Mitglieder auf. Man könnte das einen Aufstieg nennen. Moritz würde sagen, das sei das Ergebnis davon, dass man die Arbeit richtig macht. Damit hätte er recht. Heute bringt er uns die Central Coast Kaliforniens – nicht Napa, nicht Sonoma. Eine topografisch zerrissene, klimatisch polarisierte Weinlandschaft, die Burgunder und Rhône-Sorten ebenso beherbergt wie Bordeaux-Varietäten, Küstennebel und Mittelmeerwärme auf 450 Kilometern vereint – und Geduld wie Präzision verlangt.

Episode 177 brings together two things Atlanta takes seriously: lemon pepper chicken wings and great wine. Recorded live at The Perlant, this episode features five Atlanta sommeliers taking on a pairing challenge to find the perfect wine combo for Chef Dene Lynn's wings while a panel of culinary judges and media personalities share honest reactions, thoughtful insights, and plenty of lively debate along the way. For the event, Chef Dene (@chefdenelynn) prepared two distinct versions of her signature wings, highlighting both the bold flavor and cultural importance of one of Atlanta's most beloved dishes. Beyond her work in the kitchen, Chef Dene serves as an Instructional Manager at the Navigate Foundation, where she helps train and mentor the next generation of culinary professionals through education, workforce development, and community outreach. Her work with Atlanta chef collectives, food security initiatives, and the Atlanta Botanical Garden has made her an important part of the city's culinary community. From unexpected wine selections to conversations about flavor, hospitality, and Atlanta food culture, this episode captures the fun and spontaneity of a live audience experience. Whether you're deep in the wine world or just love good food and good conversation, Episode 177 offers entertaining moments, surprising pairings, and a celebration of Atlanta's vibrant culinary scene.SOMMELIERSEric Palmer, RNDC Distributing (@eric.palmr)Chris McLloyd, Tower Beer, Wine, & Spirits (@chrismclloyd)Jason Wilfore, The Perlant (@wilforejay)Jordan Traylor, The Chastain (@wandering_wino_)Peter Poulos, My Friend's Bottle Shop (@therealchampagnepete)JUDGING PANELToni Williams, Blasian Bon Vivant (@blasianbonvivant)Dan Whalen, The Food in My Beard (@tfimb)Georgina Castellucci-Whalen, Consultant & Speaker (atl_georgina)Recorded May 1, 2026 with a live audience at The Perlant in Atlanta, GA-----------------*** Check out our ⁠⁠MERCH SHOP⁠⁠ to directly support the show, and visit www.acorkintheroad.com for all upcoming events and media contributions

Im Glas zeigen sich Zitrone, salzige Mineralität und erste feine Petrolnoten, die bei gereiften Rieslingen polarisieren können. Wir sprechen darüber, warum genau diese Aromen international geschätzt werden, wie sich Riesling mit den Jahren verändert und weshalb der 2021er für viele Weinfans der spannendere Jahrgang sein dürfte.

Sebastian Russold ist einer der Menschen, die ein System erst vollständig durchdringen, um es dann von innen zu erschüttern. Nicht aus Zerstörungslust. Nicht aus Eitelkeit. Sondern weil sie als Einzige wirklich verstehen, was auf dem Spiel steht — und deshalb als Einzige nicht schweigen können. Was ihn von den meisten seiner Kollegen unterscheidet, ist nicht der Titel — obwohl der Titel außergewöhnlich ist. Bester Jungsommelier Deutschlands 2018, Bester Sommelier Deutschlands 2021 und 2022. Zwei Generationen desselben Sieges, als hätte er beweisen wollen, dass das erste Mal kein Zufall war. Aber der Titel ist nicht der Mensch. Der Mensch ist das, was nach dem Titel kommt. Genuss, Wirtschaftlichkeit, Nachhaltigkeit — das ist Sebastians eigene Formel. Es ist eine politische Aussage. Eine, die der Branche ins Gesicht sagt: Schönheit ohne Struktur ist Dekoration. Erfahrung ohne Verantwortung ist Selbstbedienung. Und wer Genuss predigt, während er seine Mitarbeiter ausbrennt, hat den Begriff nicht verdient. Diese Trias ist kein Leitbild für eine Website. Sie ist die Weltanschauung eines Mannes, der früh begriffen hat, dass der eleganteste Wein der Welt nichts legitimiert — keinen Sexismus hinter den Kulissen, keine Hierarchie, die Demütigung als Ausbildungsmethode versteht, keine Nostalgie, die sich als Qualitätsstandard verkleidet. Genuss verpflichtet. Sebastian Russold hat das verinnerlicht, während andere es noch buchstabieren. In dieser Episode tut Sebastian Russold etwas, das in seiner Branche ungefähr so üblich ist wie offene Fenster in einem Weinkeller: Er spricht. Er hätte erzählen können von den Möglichkeiten, den Reisen, allem, was dieser Titel ermöglicht hatte. Das hätte man erwarten können — Demut zeigen, Bescheidenheit, nicht kontrovers auffallen in einem konservativen System. Er verweigerte diese Erwartung. Komplett. Ohne Entschuldigungsformel. Was er stattdessen sagte — Sexismus, Rassismus und Mobbing sind in vielen Betrieben noch an der Tagesordnung — ist deshalb so bemerkenswert, weil er es nicht als Außenseiter sagte, nicht als Quereinsteiger, nicht als jemand, der das System nie wirklich bewohnt hat. Er sagte es als Bester Sommelier Deutschlands. Als jemand, dem das System gerade seinen höchsten Titel verliehen hatte. Als jemand, der — hätte er geschwiegen — ungestört von Preisverleihung zu Preisverleihung hätte gleiten können, lächelnd, geschätzt, ungefährlich. Dieser Verzicht auf Ungefährlichkeit ist das Mutigste, was ein Mensch in einem konservativen Beruf tun kann. Sebastian Russold ist kein Rebell um des Aufruhrs willen. Er ist kein Ideologe, der Wein als Vehikel für Weltanschauung missbraucht. Er ist etwas Präziseres und Schwierigeres: ein Mann, der seinen Beruf so tief liebt, dass er ihm die Wahrheit zumuten will.

Gabriele Heins ist Chefredakteurin eines der prägendsten und einflussreichsten kulinarischen Magazine unserer Republik. Der Titel klingt nach Büro, nach Redaktionskonferenz, nach dem Geruch von kaltem Kaffee und überhitzten Druckern. Und doch eines vorweg: Der Titel lügt, denn vielmehr ist sie eine Architektin von Momenten, eine Kuratorin des Unübersehbaren, eine Frau, die den Unterschied zwischen Leben und Lebensqualität nicht akademisch versteht, sondern physisch – mit allen verfügbaren Sinnen gleichzeitig, gefühlt rund um die Uhr, ohne Grenzen. Ihr Magazin ist kein Heft. Es ist ein Argument. Das Argument lautet: Genuss ist keine Dekadenz, sondern Demokratie. Und wer behauptet, keine Zeit für das Gute im Leben zu haben, hat schlicht die falschen Prioritäten. Du hättest Dir Gabriele Heins sehr wahrscheinlich, falls Du sie nicht persönlich kennst, anders vorgestellt. Vermutlich schärfer. Vermutlich kälter. Eine Frau, die seit 25 Jahren durch die Katakomben des deutschen Gourmet-Journalismus marschiert, Wettbewerbe juriert und Chefköche interviewt, sollte nach der Erwartung vieler die freundliche Wärme einer Schiefergrube ausstrahlen. Nach der Episode weißt Du: Du lagst falsch. Das kommt vor. Gabriele Heins ist seit März 2024 Chefredakteurin des Feinschmecker – Deutschlands stilprägendem kulinarischen Lifestyle-Magazin des Jahreszeiten Verlags – und das ist ungefähr so, als würde man sagen, Keith Richards spiele ein bisschen Gitarre. Technisch korrekt. Fundamental unzureichend. Sie ist in Bremen aufgewachsen, studierte Germanistik, Romanistik, Publizistik und Geschichte in Göttingen, Bordeaux und Hamburg. 1999 wechselte sie zum Jahreszeiten Verlag – zunächst als Reiseredakteurin, später als Ressortleiterin Food, Wein & Lifestyle. Fünfundzwanzig Jahre. Das bedeutet: Sie hat den Feinschmecker nicht übernommen. Sie hat ihn von innen heraus verstanden – Ausgabe für Ausgabe, Verkostung für Verkostung, Druckfahne für Druckfahne – bis zu dem Moment, wo die Leitung des Magazins keine Beförderung mehr war, sondern eine logische Konsequenz. Nicht als Bürotier. Nicht als Konzeptverwalterin. Als Frau, die ihren Beruf als Feldarbeit versteht, als fortlaufende, niemals abgeschlossene Recherche in dem größten und chaotischsten Labor der Welt: dem menschlichen Appetit. Und dabei langweilt sie Mittelmäßigkeit auf eine Weise, die sie körperlich anstrengt. Sie sucht das Echte, das eine Reportage über die Sardinenkonservenfabriken mit derselben Begeisterung vermittelt wie ein Profil über einen Drei-Sterne-Koch. Und irgendwo zwischen der ersten und zweiten Seite, zwischen dem zweiten und dritten Schluck, zwischen dem Ende eines langen Tages und dem Beginn einer neuen Idee – lächelt sie.

The Wine Trinity Hill Marsanne Roussanne 2024, Gimblett Gravels, Hawke's Bay RRP from $40.00 Marsanne and Roussanne are classic grapes of the Rhone that are now cultivated in New Zealand. These varieties can make white wines and are often used in red blends as well, such as a Chateauneuf du Pape, or even a white Chateauneuf du Pape. A distinctive profile that is both fresh and fragrant with scents of quince and citrus and some stone fruits like white peach and apple. It's framed by a layer of fruit spice, lees, and a distinctive mineral saline suggestion. It has a silky touch at first, then a surge of acidity and mineral, lees and fruit. Matured in French oak barriques and puncheons. The season Rather excellent for Hawke's Bay and most of the country, delivering wine of concentration and power and allowing the winemakers to use a little more new oak if desired to add complexity and enhance flavours. The food A wine like this needs food that is less complex to allow the voice of the wine to speak louder. A shellfish dish in a creamy sauce, a ballotine of chicken filled with sausage, prosciutto, and pistachios or a mild cheese and spinach.

This week, Ira welcomes Joe Mikulich, co-founder of EDO Hospitality, the restaurant group behind some of Las Vegas' most talked-about dining destinations, including EDO Tapas, Anima by EDO, and Braseria by EDO. In this episode of “Talk About Las Vegas With Ira,” Joe shares the story of how a Las Vegas native worked his way up from food runner to sommelier to restaurant entrepreneur, building a hospitality brand that celebrates bold flavors and adventurous dining. Joe explains what “EDO” really stands for—and why the concept resonates so deeply with people in the hospitality industry. He also talks about growing up in Las Vegas, the realities of entering a tough and competitive business, and why putting your ego aside is essential for success in restaurants. Joe reflects on opening his first restaurant, EDO Tapas, and how its tiny footprint created a surprising challenge—a cap on what was possible. That experience helped shape the vision behind Braseria by EDO, a restaurant intentionally designed to capture a specific market while pushing the menu in more adventurous directions. Along the way, Joe shares insights on delegation, leadership, using technology to stay organized, and why Spanish cuisine offers a “silver lining” of creativity and versatility in the kitchen. Plus, he reveals how soccer—his childhood passion—instilled the drive, discipline, and work ethic that still fuels his career today. It's a candid conversation about building restaurants, embracing creativity, and chasing big ideas in the ever-evolving Las Vegas dining scene. (Also Watch Full Podcast Video)

When I visited Paris in 1993, I had been helping my parents sell my grandmothers house. My father said "we are taking you and Sandra to Tour D'Argent."  THe whole story for another time.  My father spoke French to the Sommelier and asked for the 1945 Lafite Rothschild...an epic of the epics. At that time, it was $3,500. As the Sommelier presented the bottle in it's wicker carrier, the age of the crust and the caking of the dust was admiarable. There was considerable ullage (the air gap bewteen the cork and the wine). In French, my father suggests "Open it, it is fine, I buy it, if is over the hill, you buy it "...the reply? "Non, Monsieur" He order the 1962 Cos D'Estrournel.  So when I heard the Techinical Director, Dominique Arangoits was in town, I had to sit for a podcast. I can guarantee you that my French is much better now.   Dominique Arangoits wasn't raised on grand cru vineyards or surrounded by the opulent châteaux that so often feature in Bordeaux lore. Instead, he began his story in the rugged Basque country, a region where the mountains meet the Spanish border and family tradition meant tending to a small patch of vines for homemade wine. There's something poetic in how his early memories, flavored by the modest vineyard his grandfather cared for, foreshadowed a journey that would lead him to the highest echelons of wine science and estate management. In this episode, Dominique's story unfolds with the humility and curiosity of someone who didn't set out to be a winemaker, but who became one by way of chance and passion. He recounts to Paul Kalemkiarian how agronomy studies in Bordeaux presented the fork in the road—that pivotal moment when Dominique first glimpsed the bridge between science and art, and realized that winemaking could be not just a career, but a lifelong passion. From there, the journey took him abroad to Hungary's Tokaj region, where he learned the complexities of building a winery from scratch; returning to France, he brought those lessons to Cos d'Estournel, entrusted with one of the most ambitious projects in Bordeaux: imagining an entirely new winery "from an empty sheet." But this episode isn't just about technical prowess or the mechanics of grape growing. Listen closely and you'll hear Dominique's profound reverence for terroir—a concept he elevates above all else, even above the winemaker himself. To Dominique, the role of the grape variety is not to dominate, but to "read" the land, allowing the subtle, emotional taste of the place to emerge in the bottle. When faced with climate change, he doesn't lament, but adapts, observing how today's warmer vintages make Cabernet Sauvignon easier to ripen and forever alter the definition of what makes a "classic" Bordeaux. Throughout the conversation, Paul Kalemkiarian pushes Dominique with questions about politics and classification—why second growths matter, whether the age-old Bordeaux rankings will ever shift, and how a winery's image is forged not just by legacy but by ambition. Dominique's candor shines as he describes what distinguishes a big wine: it's not pleasure alone, but the emotion and even awe that sometimes make time stop, elevating wine to the level of art. Listeners are brought into the intimate rituals of blending wine, tasting berries, and understanding the unique personality of every block in the vineyard. You'll learn why no single measure tells a winemaker when to harvest—taste, acidity, skin thickness, and memory all combine in the delicate act of coaxing the best from the land. The story is peppered with wry anecdotes about natural wines, discussions of organic practice, and the challenges of balancing tradition with evolution. The episode invites you not just to think about wine, but to feel it: as Dominique says, great wine should take your hand and guide you on a journey, even sometimes through uncertainty, before returning you to a place of wonder. It's not about price, brand, or even technical perfection—it's about experiencing the taste of a vineyard's history, climate, and character, revealed glass by glass. Dominique Arangoits has a knack for distilling the soul of a vineyard into a bottle—so much so that, as he put it, the terroir triumphs over grape variety, winemaker, and even the farming method. As you listen to this episode, you'll discover how Dominique Arangoits, a Basque-born wine scientist who stumbled into his lifelong passion during his studies in Bordeaux, reveals the intricate dance between climate, soil, and human ambition in the world-class wines of Cos d'Estournel. You'll hear tales of building wineries literally from scratch—lessons learned in Hungary brought home to Bordeaux, where he and his team shape a new generation of wine rooted in tradition but alive with innovation, such as gravity-fed fermentations and early blending techniques. The classification politics, from second growth to market image, get unpacked with wit and candor: hear how owners navigate legacy, ambition, and the ever-evolving challenge of ratings. Not only will you grasp what "terroir" really means, but you'll appreciate why a block of vineyard is as complicated—and moody—as a person, and how climate change is rewriting the rules of ripeness for Cabernet Sauvignon. Whether it's the chemistry of blending, the surprising complexity of press wine, or the emotional experience evoked by a truly special bottle, this conversation makes clear that wine is far more than what's in the glass—it's a voyage. Even if you think you know Bordeaux, you'll come away with an insider's perspective on what makes a great wine, why classification matters (and doesn't), and how the miracle of a grape becomes a story worth tasting again and again. What you will hear: The passionate journey of Dominique Arangoits from a Basque childhood vineyard to managing world-renowned estates in Hungary and Bordeaux—revealing how terroir and tradition shape his philosophy of winemaking. How climate change is transforming Bordeaux's landscape, making Cabernet Sauvignon easier to ripen than ever before and influencing every decision from harvesting to blending, as explained through real-world examples and surprises. Behind-the-scenes wisdom on wine classification politics, blending methodology, and why every block of vineyard has its own personality—plus candid thoughts on natural wine, organic practices, and what truly differentiates a great bottle from a forgettable one.

If you haven't seen the Apple TV Series "Drops of God", you must change that quickly. This is, in my opinion, the single best wine show/movie ever done. It's not hokey, it shows wine in a realistic and good light, and it's a cool story.   The show, whose first season dropped in 2023, won the International Emmy Awards for Best Drama Series and has been praised for its beautiful cinematography, skilled acting, and accurate portrayal of certain elements of the wine world. It's actually based on a Japanese manga series of the same name that was wildly popular.    Season one was so successful that Drops of God was renewed for a second season, which is currently unfolding week after week on Apple TV. Season one is still available for you to watch if you missed it.  In this show, I sit down with Sebastien "Seb" Pradal, who was the man behind all the wine knowledge in this show. He worked with the writers and actors to get all the facts and details of the wines right.    Although he won the very prestigious Best Young Sommelier of France in 1997, Seb took the entrepreneurial route instead of working as a somm. He leads a wine distribution and consulting agency, owns the fine dining restaurant La Petite Régalade in Paris, where he showcases French gastronomy and highlights independent producers and cool wines, and he imports French wines into Mexico and Colombia.   He was selected by the writers working on "Drops of God" to help them make the series true to the wine world in a non-snobby way. He was charged with making all wine-related activities authentic, and we worked closely with the actors to teach them about wine, wine tasting, and the wine world (he told me offline that the actors now order and drink wine regularly and know their way around a list!).   This podcast will give you a rare glimpse into why this show is so successful in portraying the wine world when many others have fallen short. And that glimpse really is all about Seb Pradal and his contributions to the show. He is a delightful person and shares some fun insider information about the inner workings of how a production of this caliber gets made.    As promised, here are the links we mention in the show: Seb's Paris restaurant:  La Petite Régalade Georgian wine Seb calls his "Grail": Marani Ruispiri, Giorgi Aladashvini Information on Lignage grape: Lignage and Clos du Tue-Boeuf     Full show notes and all back episodes are on Patreon. Join the community today! www.patreon.com/winefornormalpeople _______________________________________________________________   This show is brought to you by my exclusive sponsor, Wine Access – THE place to discover your next favorite bottle.

It's Ally's birthday, so naturally the show was filled with accents, drinking, false compliments & a special guest! The show kicked off with special birthday shout outs from A-list celebrities that are definitely real and totally not AI. Klein clearly forgot Ally's birthday but refused to admit it. But let's face it, he's distracted from all the interviews he did about his stolen car! After getting written up by KNX, NY Post and the CA Post, word on the street is KTLA wants an in depth look at the story too. He also learned there WAS extensive damage to the car and as usual this will cost him thousands to fix... We finished out "Bomb week" with Johnny drinking his first Sake Bomb, and Ally's quickly showed him how it's done with a proper chug. Jake interviewed 'Rams fans' who were born & raised in LA, only to learn pretty much all of them had never heard of the team. Water Sommelier Martin Reise joined us in-studio to school us on H20 & taste some of the rarest and most unique water the world has to offer. We also had him try Ally's moon water, among other things, and he was able to debunk some of the world's biggest 'water myths' (spoiler: 8 glasses a day is BS!).
