Speaker 1 (00:00):
Rong burg podcast. It's fun podcast. It's Him and Now podcast.
Welcome to the Ron Burgundy podcast. Pine names Ron and Today.
(00:22):
Mm hmm, I'm drinking at work. I'm drinking a cup
of wine. It's delicious. So yes, today's episode is on
wine and how much fun it is to drink on
the job. Well, to be fair, we said we were
going to talk about the art of matching wine with
food and then expand a viticulture as a whole, and
(00:45):
we never said we were going to drink wine at work.
I actually didn't know we had wine here. Oh well,
I just picked up some wine from Ralph's around the corner.
This bottle has called let me take a look. Oh yes,
this bottle is Chateau Diana. Okay, it comes in a
bottle or a bag, but I got it in a
bottle because I'm classie. It has a twist off top
(01:09):
which is great and easy to travel with, and has
a gorgeous, sumptuous taste. Very nice. I think it would
taste great with a fun fetty cake in front of
a TV, or or with a box of those sampler
cookies on Christmas morning, or with some meat, any kind
(01:30):
of meat. Yeah, a pile of meat. Ooh, and you
can even enjoy it on a summer's night. Say your
best friends are all together for the first time since
a prison break. You're describing really interesting scenarios, but it
doesn't really sound like a wine review. Oh, there have
been so many good times with wine at parties. I
(01:51):
would drink a bottle of wine before any of my
friends arrived, just so I didn't feel nervous when I
saw them. I don't think that's healthy. Then a little
scotch with boys when they arrived, get us going for
the evening, and then we'd get on our tummies in
my backyard stare into my coy pond. Carolina, when you're
alone in haling a bottle of wine, what what do
(02:13):
you like to do? I generally don't do that, actually,
unless I've gone through a breakup or something terrible has happened. Oh,
and that that happens sometimes. Do you you want to
talk about it? Anyway? Today's episode was going to be
on the wine industry actually and how it's changing. For instance,
China is now growing. Okay, you can stop that. Stop
(02:36):
what that thing you're doing with the tip of the
glass office. We need to it's like a siren song.
It's not pretty, it's bothersome. Actually, we're recording a podcast.
Are you picking this up? Yep? Yeah? Good. Anyway, today's
episode is my tongue purple from the wine. Yes, what
(03:00):
you should slow down actually because we have to do
an interview next. Anyway, So from what I was saying
was for millions of years, China had primarily served grain alcohol,
but it wasn't environmentally my ladies in the house. Today's
episode is on wine, where to buy it, how to
(03:22):
slurp it, and what country it comes from? Answer China. No,
that's not what I said. I said, Oh, wine comes
from China. And up next we have a famous Somalia
who will tell us the best ways to stay wasted.
After these messages, and we are back with the Ron
(03:49):
Burgundy podcast. Today we have Roni Ganosh in the house.
Los Angeles magazine calls her the star Somali a I
caller Roni, Yes, Roni, thank you, thank you for coming
to the podcast. It's my pleasure. Where where are you
from and when did you start picking grapes? Well, I
(04:14):
grew up in New York City and there aren't many
grapes growing there. Now. But I started working as a
smiler about yep ten years ago or so just ten
years ago, and you've risen to these these heights of fame. Well,
you know, I've worked very hard, and uh, you know,
(04:39):
I think that stars some is a little bit of
an exaggeration. But you know who am I? But that's
what Los Angeles Magazine calls you. I don't know who
their fact checkers are, but maybe we should call just
to make sure. So it's but, but if you're walking
through a crowded place, you get stopped. I often get stopped, Yes,
I do. Sure. It's as small city as we know,
(05:02):
Los Angeles, so it's a quaint little village. Everyone knows
each other. Ronnie. Let me ask you this. You have
twenty dollars, you're in a supermarket. What kind of wine
do you pick up? I wouldn't recommend buying wine in
a supermarket because but if I have twenty dollars and
I go to the fancy wine shop, can I even
find something there? You can walk out the door with
(05:23):
two bottles of wine still spend under twenty dollars in
a fancy wine shop. Okay, so it's so you can
you don't have to buy, you know, say the hundred
dollar bottle of wine. Who's looking over your shoulder and
telling you you have to buy the d bottle of wine.
The guy who's running the shop, that guy is there
for you, breathing on me with wine breath, Well down,
(05:46):
a little bit delicious, Ronnie. I here's a question for you.
What when do wine collectors expect to finish all the
wine they store at Coachella? Is the purpose of having
a collection so you can call up your other collector
friends and go, guess what I'm done? I got through
(06:08):
my collection. Uh. If I were a collector, yes that
would be. But I'm not a collector. So usually people
who collect wine they want to you know, it's for posterity.
They keep it. I don't know they keep it forever.
Are you an advocate of holding onto the wines or
or enjoying them that's why you bought them. I'm an
(06:29):
advocate of enjoying the wines. But there are some ones
that you should hold a little while and then buy
other ones to enjoy now. But how do you know that?
You got to ask a Simalia. That's where I come
and that's why we're going to give your your cell
phone number out today on the podcast. If that's okay,
(06:50):
we're not going to do that. What's a good sample
wine pairing, for instance, like a fun, fetty birthday cake
with some Chateau Diana. As you see, I bought some
Chateau Diana, very classy rock. Thank you, thank you. We're
still in the middle of the interviews. Just maybe take
it slow. You're almost done. Favorite bottle of wine that
(07:12):
you've ever had two thousand five Chateau Diana. It's not
I don't you know. Every It's okay. Did I made
a bad choice? I don't think you made a bad choice.
It's just not the choice I would have made. I
(07:32):
take it to wine you've never heard of. I've seen
it before in the stores in that they have in
the delis in New York they have it. Yeah, yeah, right, yeah,
So I'm sorry I got you off. What your favorite?
Do you have a top five? Well, it's mostly about
for me, it's like about where and when, and you know,
it's not doesn't have to be fans for the moment. Yeah, yes,
(07:55):
you know. It's like you're in your neighbor's hop tub,
the sun was setting. First hot time. I'm talking about myself.
The sun was setting, when the sun was setting, and
then and and it was just the perfect little taste
of something. You know, you're there. Did the neighbor know?
And of course not, they were on vacation. Nice glass
(08:19):
of chilled ASTI spumante? Am I setting the stage? You are? Yeah,
I can really imagine it looking over the hills. But
so look, well, let me ask you, what's the oldest
wine you've ever tasted? One from the twenties. It was cool. Okay,
that's almost a hundred years ago. I was almost hundred
years ago. Yeah, I met you know when you say
(08:40):
you're a smile or a wine wine from Well, somebody
showed me a bottle of wine from event the other day.
She wants me to sell it for her. And I'm like,
is it fake? Is it real? I don't know. She's
just a lady I met on the street. How do
you tell if it's fake? A real? There are people? Yeah?
You call so like an art? Yeah? And would I mean,
(09:03):
would do you? Would you do? How do you? I
mean you've got to open it. I'm just excited. I mean,
you have the bottle from seventy right, Yeah, I have
pictures from this lady. She said, But then how because
if you open it you can't It's done. It's done,
that's it. You can't drink it. Well, I mean it's
done in terms of value. Ron, I don't want to
(09:25):
be annoying, but I think you've had enough. I'm just
enjoying my wine. UM. I had a question, as the
subject of farming and food and drink manufacturing becomes more
of a political one, how do you how do you
personally want to see the wine industry progress. Well, that's
a good question. Um. I actually focus specifically on thatural wine.
So my industry, or subsect of the industry is with
(09:48):
smaller farmers, who are you know, farming responsibly, for going
the use of synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, um, and you know
which is bad for the environments better the person who
drinks it and the person who makes it. There's like
a huge, crazy number of farmers in Champagne who have
(10:08):
all have the same kind of cancer, you know, because
they've just been spraying on mass for years, which is
what is the same stuff that kills bees and yeah
it kills us too. So yeah, anyway, it would be
nice to see people think about sustainability. What are you listening?
I'm just how he's reaching funny pages. Well, let's beatle
(10:34):
Bailey still makes me laugh. We're in the middle of
an interview. Do they stomp grapes like like they did
on that I Love Lucy episode? You know what they
do they do? Yeah? Is that if you go visit somebody, right,
you could do it too, to ask nicely, what's happening? Nothing,
(10:56):
we were just so they go and they smell lay feet,
and they go and they stomp on the grapes. It
all gets fermented out anyway, so it doesn't matter. Smelly
feet not smelly feet. Usually people take their pants off.
They were underwear though. But if I had real bad
toe fungus, I would say, maybe wash your feet first. Okay,
just a little. If I had some toe jam gross gross.
(11:18):
But if it's all going to get fermented, I mean,
no big deal. Not as bad as pesticides, that's true.
I'd rather have to jam than pesticides. I invested it
in a wine maker and the label there was that
was the name of the label, to jam wine. How
did that do? We didn't sell a bottle, We didn't
sell anything. Well, maybe drink a little slower. You're that
(11:40):
should Now you're checking. Okay, you're checking. You're checking your wine. No,
I'm drinking it. This is how you drink wine, right, Ronnie.
You just open up your throat, pour it right in.
You're a professional. Do kids still do wine bongs like
beer bongs? Yes? What is the best way to drink wine? Run? So? Um,
(12:03):
what's the best way to drink it? Yeah? Like you know,
some people wish it a little bit. It's however you
feel like you know, there's no That's the thing about whine.
Everyone thinks there's a right way in a wrong way
about everything. But there isn't a right way in a
wrong way. Whatever you feel is right. Run likes to
drink with his mouth open, wide open. I like to
catch my jaw like a cobra. He's okay. Here's one
(12:29):
who wins in a physical fight. Kate wins it or
Kate Blanchet spoiler, it's not who you think. That's a
weird question. Are you getting a little drunk. I'm getting
a little tipsy. I don't feel qualified to answer that much. Yeah.
Then I'm not supposed to talk about my fight club.
Are they in your fight club? I'm not supposed to
(12:51):
talk about the first rule of fight club. You're not
supposed to talk about it. Yeah, that's not the first.
Make sure you put out chips and dip um. Okay, Ronnie,
what was the first physical Rony? But I get that
because your name is ron which is similar to Rony.
(13:11):
What was the first physical fight you ever had after
too much wine? Ah? So far in my career, no
physical fights. Well that's a plus yet right? Oh? Yet?
You know what somalia translates in French? Wine waiter? Has
(13:33):
anyone just yelled out a wine waiter? Pick me a wine?
Sometimes people yell at that and then they You know
what's funny is that when I come to the table,
they're like, oh, I was expecting a man, And I
might say, are you yeah? Are you living in the
nineteen fifties? Yeah, exactly, not yet in the pot an
(13:54):
you got a wine, but you could be, Ronny. I
want to ask you. I want to ask you this question. Um,
here's the thing. Everyone traditionally says, white wine with chicken
or fish, red wine with meats? Is that? Why don't
you push back from that? Is that a rule you
have to live by? Honestly, you can drink whatever you want,
(14:17):
with whatever you want. Sometimes that's what I say. Yeah,
white wine is great with steak. You know, it's a
radical thing to say. But who makes the rules? Who? Yeah,
there's not some wine Supreme Court out there. No, I
mean in some countries there are really. Yeah, they're like
(14:37):
bodies of people exactly yes, the board and they say
do this, do that, don't do this, don't do that.
You can't, you won't. And then, like the movie Sideways,
they just destroyed more low. Right, you're a little bit
(14:59):
are you trying to lay down? They made fun of Marlow,
and but Marlow is not the worst. I don't get you.
Get up a little bit right, you got you? You
went back too far. I need to get a little
bit close to okay, we'll make up your mind is
two clothes? Are my too far? One to close? Right there? Great?
(15:21):
Oh my god? Is that the sign of a good wine?
One builds up for lim. I need you to push
back from the mic a little bit. I'm pushing back.
Then I'm too close. Then I'm too far right here,
that's great, Okay, I gotta work on my core. Uh.
(15:43):
You know what the funny thing is that after that
movie Merlot as a brand, you know, twenty year dip,
and now it's like it's coming back. I mean, it's
still not cool, but it's not like you know, people
are kind of over it because it's a blended wine. Correct,
Marlow is just a grape. Oh but what's what's a
(16:05):
blended wine when you put a bunch of grapes like
Merlo or Cabernet savignon together in a bottle. So it's
kind of like their own cocktail party, Like they have
Merlot meat, Cabernet, Gabernet Merlo. I don't really know if
I like them. Oh maybe I do. Where are you
from from? Okay? No, we got it. That's like what
(16:25):
red blend is. Yeah, exactly. You would you like to
make out? We don't want to go there. So what's
stepping on it? I just got crushed by a fungus foot.
We know what blended is. It's okay hmm. So Napa
Valley versus European wines, where do you stand? Um? Both
(16:51):
have their merits trying to be diplomatic. You hate California
too fruity, right, well, too fruity for too fruit fruit
two foot forward fruit forward water fruit forward. M hmm.
Some parts of Napa continue that way, yes, but not
all of them. There are some great people. But you
(17:13):
can still take a trip up there, wouldn't you. Yeah,
it's very beautiful. Cute, little cute little b and b bees.
Have a little romped through the vineyard. Go get a cheeseburger. Uh,
cheeseburger place. What's that place? Refreshers? I don't know that place, Nick,
(17:35):
Do you know that place? No, I'm not familiar. Okay,
See some cows, season cows. See some cows. Seesaw cows.
See some cows. See see see some cows a special
(17:56):
cow called a season cow. I think the hut we
went to the farm and we saw some see some cows.
I raised, see some cows. I think maybe we screwed
the back. Screw the screw the ye. I can't get
the cat back on the hut to a day. Leave
(18:19):
it off. I'm gonna have a mint, all right. Do
you want me to open that fing Nope, got it.
I'm a grown man. Just choose one. H let's write
in the MiG curiously Altoid's curiously strong. What does that mean?
(18:52):
I think it's time that we get back to the
interview and maybe cool a little little bit. RONI, who
do you? Who? Do you like any NBA finals? Didn't
that already happen? I'm not positive that wasn't what we
were going to talk about today. Did it already happen?
Here's the thing. People make a big deal about sending
(19:15):
a bottle of wine back. Right. Yes, if you're at
a patron who sent a bottle of wine back, and
you're you pour it and you're like, this is perfectly fine.
There's just being a asshole all the time. And then
but you can't do anything right, You just gotta open
up the new bottle. Yes, I mean, you can't really
do anything, but it makes me burn with rage. I
(19:37):
got in a fight with a Somalia once. What happened? Well,
I tried the wine. He said no, it's perfectly fine,
and then I said, oh is it? And I poured
it out on his shoes, the whole bottle that's on you.
So was that the fight? Did he get mad? He
was very professional? You have to be. I guess, So
(20:00):
was it? What was it bad? I didn't have never
tried it. I was just trying to impress a girl. Yeah,
we didn't even try the wine. Was she impressed? She was?
And her name Barbie Benten. Well that might be a
story to her time. But right now we're in the
(20:20):
middle of an interview. Do you have any more questions?
What do you what do you think of a nice Burgundy?
And I'm not just talking about the wine. Let's just
put the chateau away for a little bit while you
sober up. I think that we have to get through
this interview. You know, I feel like we barely got
(20:41):
to talk about I love Lucy. Are you a Lucy
or an Ethel? Because I'm a Samantha and Caroline is
a Miranda. No, I'm not. That's you're mixing up shows.
I'm and for the record, I'm in Charlotte. Which question
should I answer? Lucy or Ethel? You know? M the
chocolate machine right the conveyor belt, all the chocolates when
(21:04):
we're getting a little often, I wish there's no right
or wrong answer. Maybe a Lucy. I'd like to be
a Lucy. Oh wow, Well it looks like are you okay?
Are you? Are you going to take a little nap?
Do you guys ever wonder what any of it all means? Okay? No,
(21:26):
I think Why don't you get your head off the table.
You're gonna fall out of your chair. Just sit back.
Do you guys have any more Yeah, yeah, we know,
we do. We do. We definitely have a few more questions. Okay, hey, hey, hey,
come on, come on, you got it. Just didn't see that.
(21:48):
Know you're a good run. Don't worry you got it?
Oh yeah, ship shape? All right? Where my notes? Yeah,
they're right in front of you. Sometimes I just sit
on the floor of my shower and I just think, Wow,
who turned off the dance music? There wasn't any dance
(22:08):
music playing. I don't know. I want to put on
the new song by nine degrees. They aren't abandoned anymore.
That's not true. That's not true. You just don't listen
to their music anymore. You know what. Let's get back
to viticulture. Who yeah, um RONI yes, run. Here's the thing.
(22:38):
We only got so much time on this big blue marble,
and I mean it just keeps spinning and spinning and spinning.
What's your question. I'm gonna get to it. Four eyes? Sorry,
why did I say that? Because I wear glasses? Right,
(22:58):
I don't I like your glasses. I apologize that was
uncalled for. It's a face. You don't have to get emotional.
They just discovered a black hole, you know. That was cool. Yeah,
but we're all we're all heading for that black hole.
That's the thing, and I can't stop thinking about it.
(23:18):
All right, Yeah, you might just see a nap or so. Anyway,
you're my best friend. Whom who am I looking at?
Could be looking at Carolina? You're both my best you're
you're both my best friends. Ronnie, you're my new best friend,
(23:39):

about you. So I'll put you number one best friend

Oh it's been a long day for you. Come on,
(24:04):

took a thirty minute nap on the floor and when
he woke up, he cried a little bit more, which
was fine, and now he feels better. Listen, I'm a

It's not pretty, it's bothersome. Actually, we're recording a podcast.
Are you picking this up? Yep? Yeah? Good. Anyway, today's

After these messages, and we are back with the Ron
(03:49):
Burgundy podcast. Today we have Roni Ganosh in the house.
Los Angeles magazine calls her the star Somali a I
caller Roni, Yes, Roni, thank you, thank you for coming
to the podcast. It's my pleasure. Where where are you
from and when did you start picking grapes? Well, I
(04:14):
grew up in New York City and there aren't many
grapes growing there. Now. But I started working as a
smiler about yep ten years ago or so just ten
years ago, and you've risen to these these heights of fame. Well,
you know, I've worked very hard, and uh, you know,
(04:39):
I think that stars some is a little bit of
an exaggeration. But you know who am I? But that's
what Los Angeles Magazine calls you. I don't know who
their fact checkers are, but maybe we should call just
to make sure. So it's but, but if you're walking
through a crowded place, you get stopped. I often get stopped, Yes,
I do. Sure. It's as small city as we know,
(05:02):
Los Angeles, so it's a quaint little village. Everyone knows
each other. Ronnie. Let me ask you this. You have
twenty dollars, you're in a supermarket. What kind of wine
do you pick up? I wouldn't recommend buying wine in
a supermarket because but if I have twenty dollars and
I go to the fancy wine shop, can I even
find something there? You can walk out the door with
(05:23):
two bottles of wine still spend under twenty dollars in
a fancy wine shop. Okay, so it's so you can
you don't have to buy, you know, say the hundred
dollar bottle of wine. Who's looking over your shoulder and
telling you you have to buy the d bottle of wine.
The guy who's running the shop, that guy is there
for you, breathing on me with wine breath, Well down,
(05:46):
a little bit delicious, Ronnie. I here's a question for you.
What when do wine collectors expect to finish all the
wine they store at Coachella? Is the purpose of having
a collection so you can call up your other collector
friends and go, guess what I'm done? I got through
(06:08):
my collection. Uh. If I were a collector, yes that
would be. But I'm not a collector. So usually people
who collect wine they want to you know, it's for posterity.
They keep it. I don't know they keep it forever.
Are you an advocate of holding onto the wines or
or enjoying them that's why you bought them. I'm an
(06:29):
advocate of enjoying the wines. But there are some ones
that you should hold a little while and then buy
other ones to enjoy now. But how do you know that?
You got to ask a Simalia. That's where I come
and that's why we're going to give your your cell
phone number out today on the podcast. If that's okay,
(06:50):
we're not going to do that. What's a good sample
wine pairing, for instance, like a fun, fetty birthday cake
with some Chateau Diana. As you see, I bought some
Chateau Diana, very classy rock. Thank you, thank you. We're
still in the middle of the interviews. Just maybe take
it slow. You're almost done. Favorite bottle of wine that
(07:12):
you've ever had two thousand five Chateau Diana. It's not
I don't you know. Every It's okay. Did I made
a bad choice? I don't think you made a bad choice.
It's just not the choice I would have made. I
(07:32):
take it to wine you've never heard of. I've seen
it before in the stores in that they have in
the delis in New York they have it. Yeah, yeah, right, yeah,
So I'm sorry I got you off. What your favorite?
Do you have a top five? Well, it's mostly about
for me, it's like about where and when, and you know,
it's not doesn't have to be fans for the moment. Yeah, yes,
(07:55):
you know. It's like you're in your neighbor's hop tub,
the sun was setting. First hot time. I'm talking about myself.
The sun was setting, when the sun was setting, and
then and and it was just the perfect little taste
of something. You know, you're there. Did the neighbor know?
And of course not, they were on vacation. Nice glass
(08:19):
of chilled ASTI spumante? Am I setting the stage? You are? Yeah,
I can really imagine it looking over the hills. But
so look, well, let me ask you, what's the oldest
wine you've ever tasted? One from the twenties. It was cool. Okay,
that's almost a hundred years ago. I was almost hundred
years ago. Yeah, I met you know when you say
(08:40):
you're a smile or a wine wine from Well, somebody
showed me a bottle of wine from event the other day.
She wants me to sell it for her. And I'm like,
is it fake? Is it real? I don't know. She's
just a lady I met on the street. How do
you tell if it's fake? A real? There are people? Yeah?
You call so like an art? Yeah? And would I mean,
(09:03):
would do you? Would you do? How do you? I
mean you've got to open it. I'm just excited. I mean,
you have the bottle from seventy right, Yeah, I have
pictures from this lady. She said, But then how because
if you open it you can't It's done. It's done,
that's it. You can't drink it. Well, I mean it's
done in terms of value. Ron, I don't want to
(09:25):
be annoying, but I think you've had enough. I'm just
enjoying my wine. UM. I had a question, as the
subject of farming and food and drink manufacturing becomes more
of a political one, how do you how do you
personally want to see the wine industry progress. Well, that's
a good question. Um. I actually focus specifically on thatural wine.
So my industry, or subsect of the industry is with
(09:48):
smaller farmers, who are you know, farming responsibly, for going
the use of synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, um, and you know
which is bad for the environments better the person who
drinks it and the person who makes it. There's like
a huge, crazy number of farmers in Champagne who have
(10:08):
all have the same kind of cancer, you know, because
they've just been spraying on mass for years, which is
what is the same stuff that kills bees and yeah
it kills us too. So yeah, anyway, it would be
nice to see people think about sustainability. What are you listening?
I'm just how he's reaching funny pages. Well, let's beatle
(10:34):
Bailey still makes me laugh. We're in the middle of
an interview. Do they stomp grapes like like they did
on that I Love Lucy episode? You know what they
do they do? Yeah? Is that if you go visit somebody, right,
you could do it too, to ask nicely, what's happening? Nothing,
(10:56):
we were just so they go and they smell lay feet,
and they go and they stomp on the grapes. It
all gets fermented out anyway, so it doesn't matter. Smelly
feet not smelly feet. Usually people take their pants off.
They were underwear though. But if I had real bad
toe fungus, I would say, maybe wash your feet first. Okay,
just a little. If I had some toe jam gross gross.
(11:18):
But if it's all going to get fermented, I mean,
no big deal. Not as bad as pesticides, that's true.
I'd rather have to jam than pesticides. I invested it
in a wine maker and the label there was that
was the name of the label, to jam wine. How
did that do? We didn't sell a bottle, We didn't
sell anything. Well, maybe drink a little slower. You're that
(11:40):
should Now you're checking. Okay, you're checking. You're checking your wine. No,
I'm drinking it. This is how you drink wine, right, Ronnie.
You just open up your throat, pour it right in.
You're a professional. Do kids still do wine bongs like
beer bongs? Yes? What is the best way to drink wine? Run? So? Um,
(12:03):
what's the best way to drink it? Yeah? Like you know,
some people wish it a little bit. It's however you
feel like you know, there's no That's the thing about whine.
Everyone thinks there's a right way in a wrong way
about everything. But there isn't a right way in a
wrong way. Whatever you feel is right. Run likes to
drink with his mouth open, wide open. I like to
catch my jaw like a cobra. He's okay. Here's one
(12:29):
who wins in a physical fight. Kate wins it or
Kate Blanchet spoiler, it's not who you think. That's a
weird question. Are you getting a little drunk. I'm getting
a little tipsy. I don't feel qualified to answer that much. Yeah.
Then I'm not supposed to talk about my fight club.
Are they in your fight club? I'm not supposed to
(12:51):
talk about the first rule of fight club. You're not
supposed to talk about it. Yeah, that's not the first.
Make sure you put out chips and dip um. Okay, Ronnie,
what was the first physical Rony? But I get that
because your name is ron which is similar to Rony.
(13:11):
What was the first physical fight you ever had after
too much wine? Ah? So far in my career, no
physical fights. Well that's a plus yet right? Oh? Yet?
You know what somalia translates in French? Wine waiter? Has
(13:33):
anyone just yelled out a wine waiter? Pick me a wine?
Sometimes people yell at that and then they You know
what's funny is that when I come to the table,
they're like, oh, I was expecting a man, And I
might say, are you yeah? Are you living in the
nineteen fifties? Yeah, exactly, not yet in the pot an
(13:54):
you got a wine, but you could be, Ronny. I
want to ask you. I want to ask you this question. Um,
here's the thing. Everyone traditionally says, white wine with chicken
or fish, red wine with meats? Is that? Why don't
you push back from that? Is that a rule you
have to live by? Honestly, you can drink whatever you want,
(14:17):
with whatever you want. Sometimes that's what I say. Yeah,
white wine is great with steak. You know, it's a
radical thing to say. But who makes the rules? Who? Yeah,
there's not some wine Supreme Court out there. No, I
mean in some countries there are really. Yeah, they're like
(14:37):
bodies of people exactly yes, the board and they say
do this, do that, don't do this, don't do that.
You can't, you won't. And then, like the movie Sideways,
they just destroyed more low. Right, you're a little bit
(14:59):
are you trying to lay down? They made fun of Marlow,
and but Marlow is not the worst. I don't get you.
Get up a little bit right, you got you? You
went back too far. I need to get a little
bit close to okay, we'll make up your mind is
two clothes? Are my too far? One to close? Right there? Great?
(15:21):
Oh my god? Is that the sign of a good wine?
One builds up for lim. I need you to push
back from the mic a little bit. I'm pushing back.
Then I'm too close. Then I'm too far right here,
that's great, Okay, I gotta work on my core. Uh.
(15:43):
You know what the funny thing is that after that
movie Merlot as a brand, you know, twenty year dip,
and now it's like it's coming back. I mean, it's
still not cool, but it's not like you know, people
are kind of over it because it's a blended wine. Correct,
Marlow is just a grape. Oh but what's what's a
(16:05):
blended wine when you put a bunch of grapes like
Merlo or Cabernet savignon together in a bottle. So it's
kind of like their own cocktail party, Like they have
Merlot meat, Cabernet, Gabernet Merlo. I don't really know if
I like them. Oh maybe I do. Where are you
from from? Okay? No, we got it. That's like what
(16:25):
red blend is. Yeah, exactly. You would you like to
make out? We don't want to go there. So what's
stepping on it? I just got crushed by a fungus foot.
We know what blended is. It's okay hmm. So Napa
Valley versus European wines, where do you stand? Um? Both
(16:51):
have their merits trying to be diplomatic. You hate California
too fruity, right, well, too fruity for too fruit fruit
two foot forward fruit forward water fruit forward. M hmm.
Some parts of Napa continue that way, yes, but not
all of them. There are some great people. But you
(17:13):
can still take a trip up there, wouldn't you. Yeah,
it's very beautiful. Cute, little cute little b and b bees.
Have a little romped through the vineyard. Go get a cheeseburger. Uh,
cheeseburger place. What's that place? Refreshers? I don't know that place, Nick,
(17:35):
Do you know that place? No, I'm not familiar. Okay,
See some cows, season cows. See some cows. Seesaw cows.
See some cows. See see see some cows a special
(17:56):
cow called a season cow. I think the hut we
went to the farm and we saw some see some cows.
I raised, see some cows. I think maybe we screwed
the back. Screw the screw the ye. I can't get
the cat back on the hut to a day. Leave
(18:19):
it off. I'm gonna have a mint, all right. Do
you want me to open that fing Nope, got it.
I'm a grown man. Just choose one. H let's write
in the MiG curiously Altoid's curiously strong. What does that mean?
(18:52):
I think it's time that we get back to the
interview and maybe cool a little little bit. RONI, who
do you? Who? Do you like any NBA finals? Didn't
that already happen? I'm not positive that wasn't what we
were going to talk about today. Did it already happen?
Here's the thing. People make a big deal about sending
(19:15):
a bottle of wine back. Right. Yes, if you're at
a patron who sent a bottle of wine back, and
you're you pour it and you're like, this is perfectly fine.
There's just being a asshole all the time. And then
but you can't do anything right, You just gotta open
up the new bottle. Yes, I mean, you can't really
do anything, but it makes me burn with rage. I
(19:37):
got in a fight with a Somalia once. What happened? Well,
I tried the wine. He said no, it's perfectly fine,
and then I said, oh is it? And I poured
it out on his shoes, the whole bottle that's on you.
So was that the fight? Did he get mad? He
was very professional? You have to be. I guess, So
(20:00):
was it? What was it bad? I didn't have never
tried it. I was just trying to impress a girl. Yeah,
we didn't even try the wine. Was she impressed? She was?
And her name Barbie Benten. Well that might be a
story to her time. But right now we're in the
(20:20):
middle of an interview. Do you have any more questions?
What do you what do you think of a nice Burgundy?
And I'm not just talking about the wine. Let's just
put the chateau away for a little bit while you
sober up. I think that we have to get through
this interview. You know, I feel like we barely got
(20:41):
to talk about I love Lucy. Are you a Lucy
or an Ethel? Because I'm a Samantha and Caroline is
a Miranda. No, I'm not. That's you're mixing up shows.
I'm and for the record, I'm in Charlotte. Which question
should I answer? Lucy or Ethel? You know? M the
chocolate machine right the conveyor belt, all the chocolates when
(21:04):
we're getting a little often, I wish there's no right
or wrong answer. Maybe a Lucy. I'd like to be
a Lucy. Oh wow, Well it looks like are you okay?
Are you? Are you going to take a little nap?
Do you guys ever wonder what any of it all means? Okay? No,
(21:26):
I think Why don't you get your head off the table.
You're gonna fall out of your chair. Just sit back.
Do you guys have any more Yeah, yeah, we know,
we do. We do. We definitely have a few more questions. Okay, hey, hey, hey,
come on, come on, you got it. Just didn't see that.
(21:48):
Know you're a good run. Don't worry you got it?
Oh yeah, ship shape? All right? Where my notes? Yeah,
they're right in front of you. Sometimes I just sit
on the floor of my shower and I just think, Wow,
who turned off the dance music? There wasn't any dance
(22:08):
music playing. I don't know. I want to put on
the new song by nine degrees. They aren't abandoned anymore.
That's not true. That's not true. You just don't listen
to their music anymore. You know what. Let's get back
to viticulture. Who yeah, um RONI yes, run. Here's the thing.
(22:38):
We only got so much time on this big blue marble,
and I mean it just keeps spinning and spinning and spinning.
What's your question. I'm gonna get to it. Four eyes? Sorry,
why did I say that? Because I wear glasses? Right,
(22:58):
I don't I like your glasses. I apologize that was
uncalled for. It's a face. You don't have to get emotional.
They just discovered a black hole, you know. That was cool. Yeah,
but we're all we're all heading for that black hole.
That's the thing, and I can't stop thinking about it.
(23:18):
All right, Yeah, you might just see a nap or so. Anyway,
you're my best friend. Whom who am I looking at?
Could be looking at Carolina? You're both my best you're

took a thirty minute nap on the floor and when
he woke up, he cried a little bit more, which
was fine, and now he feels better. Listen, I'm a
