The Banter

The Guys talk about Long Island wines and what the future may hold. When is a wine like a snarky adolescent?

The Conversation

The Restaurant Guys have Colman Andrews, editor-in-chief of Saveur magazine, to talk about the often unsung region of Campbeltown scotch. Colman goes over the broad strokes then gets into the nitty gritty details of what makes scotch so varied and gives it a sense of place. He also gives his thoughts about the next big beverage on the horizon. Was he correct?

The Inside Track

The Guys and Colman are in agreement about the culture and traditions around food and beverage being an integral part of the enjoyment.

Colman wrote, “I like the trappings of imbibing, the company it keeps, the restaurants and cafes and bars and the people who gather in them. I drink, frankly, because I like the glow, the softening of hard edges, the faint anesthesia. I like the way my mind races one zigzag step ahead of logic. I like that flash flood of the unexpected, utter joy that courses quickly through me between this glass and that one.”

Mark: Did you really say that?

Colman: I must have been drinking when I wrote that.
