I just want to say any listener, any YouTube viewer, we want to see your tattoos.

We'll also discuss whether tasting notes and bottled and bond really mean anything,

and if the Fred Minnick effect is real.

With that, enjoy this week's episode, and now here's Fred Minnick with Above the Char.

first place, okay? So there's a lengthy definition
