I had, somehow, missed the notice about this episode, and I just listened to it today. I had commented after your Frederic Magnien show that it would be nice to hear you do something like your O’Shea tasting but with an ‘expert’ in there with you. If I had listened to this episode prior I would have suggested that you try to blend the two [O’Shea and Iron Sommelier] together. Could you get one of those sommeliers in to do a food/wine tasting with all of you?
In regards to the issue of reviewing wines with vs without food, I think it should absolutely be done without food. I am not interested so much in the ratings. I like to hear the description of the wine without any outside influences. With that, I should then be able to start thinking about what foods I might or might not like it with as well as if I would like to drink it without food.
