  Speaker 1: Cd talk station and being a friday a reason enough
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: to be in a good mood but even more reason
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: to be a good mood is uh talking to someone
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: who's an expert in wines and going to jungle gyms
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: just generally speaking always puts a smile on my face
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: in fact my wife and i occasionally will just go
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: well let's just go to jungle gyms you know we
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: normally shop at your regular kroger or you know the
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: the the mire whatever but there's something really neat about
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: going to jungle gyms and and tj is in studio
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: he happens to be Actually, TJ Askren, he is the
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: senior department, the wine department manager for both Jungle Gyms locations.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: So if you've been to Jungle Gyms, you know the
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: massive number of wines he's responsible for. Every type of
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: wine in the world you can find at Jungle Gyms,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: both locations. TJ, it's great having you in the studio, man.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, good morning, Brian. Thanks for having me on.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: And I certainly appreciate the selections you brought in.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: Oh, you know, I got to take care of my people.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: You do, and not that I would ever drink at
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: the 55 KRC Morning Show Studios, but he brought a
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: couple of wine selections, one of which happens to be
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: my favorite wine in the world. He got word. But
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: how long have you been with Jungle Gyms?
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: Been there 11 years.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: 11 years. It's got to be a fun job. It is.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: It's demanding, but, you know, it's got its perks.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: Well, I heard that the business model at Jungle Gyms
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: is every, you know, there's so many different departments. You know,
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: there's the The Asian food area, there's the seafood area,
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: there is the meat department, there's the cheese department, the
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: wine department. Each one is its own little business, as
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: I understand it.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we pretty much run each individual department as its business,
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: and then it all falls under the umbrella of Jungle Gems.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: Well, it makes so much sense. You manage a smaller
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: area within it, and it's your fiefdom, your area, and
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: profitability is followed. You know what you need to buy,
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: what's selling, what isn't. So I discovered that just recently.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: I just always wondered as I walked into the massive
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: store with everything they sell, how in God's name do
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: they know what to buy and what quantity of things
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: to buy?
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's what Jungle hangs his hat on.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: No kidding.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: He finds the best people to run each of his
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: departments and lets us go wild.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Well, I tested your street cred. I asked you if
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: you knew Keegan Corcoran, and you actually do work with him.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: I do business with Keegan. He's great.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: I call him our resident wine steward. All right. Well,
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: the reason you're in here is not just to talk
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: about how awesome Jungle Gems is, and I share that perception,
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: and the wine department, generally speaking, but you're having an
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: international wine festival event coming up. Tell my listeners all
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: about that.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so this is actually going to be our 17th
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: annual wine fest. It should be 19th, but unfortunately we
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: had two years in 20 and 21 where we weren't
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: allowed to do it.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, any act is responsible for that, right?
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, great. All right, another thing to remember.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so we are going to take advantage of two
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: of our event spaces at the Fairfield location. So the
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: Oscar Event Center, which is located directly above Beer and Wine,
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: is going to be all VIP. We're going to have
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: 18 wonderful tables of wine. We're going to have food galore.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: And our VIPs will actually be able to go in
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: an hour early. So they get 6 p.m. to 10 p.m.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: And then they can do everything in the Oscar event.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: Then they can jump on the monorail and they can
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: head out to the other event space, which is the
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: Oscard Station, which is out in the parking lot where
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: we used to house all of the monorail cars.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Oh, I remember that.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so Jungle has transformed that into an awesome event space.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: If you're a bourbon drinker, go check it out. We've
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: got a huge, he converted a dry cleaning rack, automatic rack.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: to hold bottles of bourbon so you can come up
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: and hit a button and it just rotates around until
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: you find the one you want and then the bartender
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: will pour it for you right there.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's cool.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's fun. But our general admission starts at 7 p.m.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: It's all going to be at the Oscar Station. And
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: we're calling it general admission, but this would be a
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: VIP tasting anywhere else. There's 75 tables out there. We
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: are pouring champagne. We're pouring some big nap of cabs.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: We're going to have Wines from 11 different countries. And
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: then inside of those countries, we're going to have three
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: tables of sake from Japan. Oh, yeah. And then just
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: because we're jungle and we want to be crazy, we're
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: going to have a Slovenian table, too. So I don't
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: know if you've ever had wine from Slovenia before, but
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: it's awesome.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: Oh, about that. That's going to be fun. Well, I mean,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: opportunity to try things you probably never would have an
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: opportunity to try.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: That's the whole point.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: Oh, I wonder what the Slovenian stuff tastes like. Well,
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: there you go. You don't have to buy a bottle
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: of your own. Just walk around and sample it all.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: And then, Brian, the best part of all of it?
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: As you're talking to wine professionals that are at each table,
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: you can purchase the wine right there. We have an app,
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: Buyer's Club Map. You try the wine. You're like, oh,
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: I want one or two bottles of that. We'll have
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: it waiting for you the next Friday at Jungle to
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: be picked up.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's great. That's great. Wait a second. You said
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: it goes from 6 to 10?
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: VIP is 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. General admission is
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: 7 p.m. to 10 p.m.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: That's a lot of drinking that can go under that.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: It is. It's an Uber event.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: It is absolutely an Uber, Lyft event. Get yourself a DD.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: We do sell tickets that are non-drinker tickets for VIP
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: and for GA if you want to bring a DD
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: along with you.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's cool.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: We'll call you a cab if you don't want to
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: do a ride share. But take advantage of all the
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: hotels that are out there in Fairfield. There's plenty of
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: places to stay.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. You know, I would argue the best thing
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: somebody could do would be going there, well, before the
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: thing opens at 6 and just taking a cruise around
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: and checking out the wares that are available at Jungle Jim's.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I mean, the curtains open at 6. But
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: definitely come in and check out the store.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: See what we've got going on.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: I would tell people to do it anyway because you
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: haven't been there. You don't know what I'm talking about.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: I'm a foodie. And my wife and I cook international
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: recipes all the time. It's like, where and how are
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: we going to find that? Well, Jungle Jim's. They've got
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: an aisle for that.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: Wonderful. Well, if you're such a foodie. You should have
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: VIP tickets for next Saturday night. So they're almost sold
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: out right now. They are one hundred and ninety dollars
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: their ticket. So I get you your 18 tables of
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: outstanding wine. Plus, we have dinner by the bite throughout
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: the whole VIP and we're Jungle Jim. So we don't
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: do just regular steakhouse stuff. I mean, we're serving stuff.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: We have a duck and sausage. We have a whole
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: suckling pig. We're doing grouper tacos and some West Coast
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: oysters all up in the VIP. That's included in your ticket.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: So not only are you drinking well, you're eating well, too.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: Grouper and oysters?
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: Just among all the other things? I mean, I'd pay
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: $ 190 to be around grouper and oysters all evening.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: So I'm hearing the word unlimited in terms of your
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: ability to just sort of graze and eat and drink wine.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean... To a point, you know, we want
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: you to be able to walk out of the event. But,
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: you know, yes.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Not stumbling around drunk.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: Trying to give people a sense of appreciation for what
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: they're getting for one hundred ninety bucks.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. You come up. There's going to be two
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: wine professionals at each table. There'll be one person that's
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: pouring and then one person from either the winery itself
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: or the importer or the distributor that sells it to me.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: That will give you as little or as much information
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: that you'd like to know about each wine.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: I had that scene of Blues Brothers in my mind
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: about wrong glass, sir. Yes. You said as little or
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: as much. Come on, come on. Right. So sparkling wines,
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: all types of wines across the entire spectrum, including dessert wines,
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: which you brought with you today. So I just struck
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: up the details for the event on 55kRC. iheart. com. Speaking of wines,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: I had told you indirectly through Brian Massa, the sales
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: guy who brought you in here today. Brian's a good guy. Yeah.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: And he said, well, you would ask what I like.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: And we had what I thought was really an amazing
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: red wine. I'm not normally a cab guy, but we
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: had a disastrous experience and ended up having to get
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: a substitute bottle of wine at a nice restaurant we
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: were at. And it was recommended by the sommelier there.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: Was it Jacob Isosceles, right?
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: Justin.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: Justin. Justin Isosceles. I'd never had it before, and I
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: absolutely fell in love with it. So I told Brian,
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: I like that Justin Isosceles, and I like Dolce. It's
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: my favorite wine. And you brought in a comparable... if
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: not equal or better than the Isosceles that I mentioned.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: What is that particular wine?
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: In the eyes of the beholder, yes.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I know, but this is subjectivity that we
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: got here.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: So, you know, Isosceles is an iconic wine from Paso
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: Robles in Southern California. Another iconic wine from Paso Robles
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: is Dow, which Dow Mountain produces quite possibly the best
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: red wine in Southern California.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: D-A-O-U for folks paying attention. Dow Cabernet Sauvignon.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: Very cool story. So Dao was started by two brothers.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: They're Lebanese. In the early 70s during the Civil War
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: in Lebanon, there was a missile that exploded right outside
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: of their house. Both of them and their parents were
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: injured very badly. They rehabbed, left Lebanon to get away
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: from the Civil War, went to France, grew up in
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: France basically as they were rehabbing, got the wine bug
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: because you're living in southern France, right? What else are
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: you going to do? They eventually moved to San Diego.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: Both of them went into the tech field, graduated from
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: the University of California, San Diego. Then they started a
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: tech company in the 80s that was made to upgrade
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: hospital software. Blew it out of the water, sold their
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: business for billions of dollars, and they're like, what are
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: we going to do now? We're going to go buy
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: a mountain. So they bought Dow Mountain. They owned the
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: entire mountain, all the plantings that happened on the mountain.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: picked different exposures and made wine up until a few
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: years ago. And they decided to retire and they sold
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: to Treasury Wine Estate, which Treasury is Penfold. So everybody
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: knows Penfold's wine, right? So now it's in the Penfold's area.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: This is Dow Reserve, 100% Cabernet. It is probably my
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: favorite bottling from Impasso Robles. It's under a hundred bucks,
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: is readily available at Jungle Gems. And we're pouring it
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: at Wine Fest. So if you'd like to try it,
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: and this is not even in the fine wine room,
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: this is in GA. Oh, whoa, whoa.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: That speaks volumes. Yeah. They've got an amazing wine selection
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: at Jungle Chips. It's just amazing. Well, I'll tell you what,
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: for those who are not typically inclined to like Cabernets
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: because of how dry they can be, I always think
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: the analogy that goes in my mind, you get a
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: real dry cab and it feels like you're trying to
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: swallow a Kleenex. Obviously an overstatement, but this wine, were
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: I to drink it here this morning, is not in
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: any way, shape, or form along the lines of that dry, very,
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: very drinkable wine, very smooth, and just an amazing flavor.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: So Dow, D-A-O-U, Cabernet Sauvignon. We'll get another wine recommendation
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: or two from T.J. Asker. It's 820 here at 55
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: Karat City Talk Station. International Wine Festival. Sounds like one
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: hell of an event taking place at Jungle Jim's. All
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: the information on the blog page, 55karatcity. com. And yeah, $ 190
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: sounds like expensive for a VIP pass, but according to T.J.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: Asker and his institute, he's the, well, a senior wine
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: department manager for both Jungle Jim's locations, which speaks volumes
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: to his knowledge and expertise about wines. massive quantities of really,
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: really good hors d'oeuvres, unlimited amounts of wine, brilliant, wonderful wines.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: I mean, this Cabernet, we just had that Dow Cabernet,
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: fabulous stuff. You're going to have that and so much
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: more at the International Wine Festival. So make a date
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: night of it. Get a group together and go out together.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: But hurry up and get the tickets while they're available.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: And I'm certain they're going to run out. TJ. Yes, sir.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: Let's talk. A fabulous history about that Dow. That was wild,
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: what led up to the.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: That is honestly one of the reasons I got into wine.
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: I was always a history buff, and you can connect
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: wine to world history, geography. It all kind of folds together,
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: and it makes wine make sense.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: How about that? Well, I've been to wine country once,
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: and I can't remember under what circumstance. I think we
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: were out there for a legal conference. It was a wedding.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: And ended up just stopping off at one winery, didn't
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: have advanced reservations or anything. I was like, okay, fine,
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: we're here. The one I always wanted to go to
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: because of this wine that you brought today was Farniente.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: Oh, you want to go?
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: I know some people.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: Okay, and so does Keegan.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: Maybe we can make a party of it. Yeah.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: But Farniente is responsible for Dulce. Yeah, for Dulce, exactly.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: Which happens to be my ultimate favorite wine. And it's
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: a dessert wine. And it sounds weird because I'm not
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: normally a sweets guy. But Dolce, as I described to you,
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: and I'm no sommelier, and I had to even call
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: Keegan to find out what that finish was, and you
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: said you thought it was more eucalyptus. Right.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: It's, you know, especially where it's grown. So, Fariente is
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: mostly grown on the Martin Stelling Vineyard site, which is
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: right next door to Robert Mondavi and Tokalon, inside of
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: the Oakville AVA in Napa, okay? This... It should only
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: be planted Cabernet, right? If you're looking at it from
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: a business perspective, you make 10 times more money off
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: Cabernet per hectare that you plant. But these old vines,
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc, is in the very back of
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: the Martin-Stelling vineyard site, and they refuse to pull it
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: out because this little zone, for some reason, lets these
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: white wines to get Botrytis-infected. That's the key right there.
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: That's the key. It's the absolute key. What it is,
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: it's a fungus that grows on the grape. It makes
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: all the moisture in the water evaporate from the grape,
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: leaving just the sugars.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: Like a raisin.
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: It is. It's almost like a raisin, yeah. So when
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: these are right and when the conditions are right for
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: Botrytis to happen, you can make Dolce. And it's not
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: just us that are singing the praises of Dolce. The
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: most famous dessert wine in the world, Chateau Ikem in
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: South Turns, Bordeaux, claimed Dolce as its only rival.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: See, and I had no idea any of that when
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: I first tried it. A friend of mine had just,
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: I guess we ordered it at dinner or something. This
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: was when I lived in Chicago. And just the minute
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: it hit my palate, I'm like, oh, my God, this
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: is just glorious. It is.
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: I'll say it. It's the best dessert wine in the
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: United States.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: Well, you don't need to convince me. I haven't had
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: many dessert wines in my life, to be honest with you,
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: maybe 10, 15 my entire life. I've been going back
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: to Dolce time and time again. 350-milliliter bottle. Here's why
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: I don't drink it every day. 350-milliliter bottle is like $ 100,
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: $ 120 now. How about $ 89. 99 at Jungle.
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: Gems right now? Oh, get it at Jungle Gems.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: Save some money. I'm glad I asked that out loud. Well,
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: get to the International Wine Festival. I can't encourage you enough.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: Even if you're like me, you like wine, but you're
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: not a sommelier level. You don't know how to describe it.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: You know it's current with a little bit of it. No,
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: don't worry about that. Just enjoy it while you can.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: You get a variety to choose from. Taste things you
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: normally wouldn't taste. And TJ Askren, I can't thank you
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: enough for coming to the studio and just, well, keeping
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: that place in order and the selection and just being
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: in Jungle Jams.
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: Hey, thank you for having me on. And right before
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: I leave, I just want to make sure that I'm
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: taking care of my Eastside guys, right? So the festival
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: is at the Fairfield location. We've got a free bus
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: ride from Jungle Jams Eastgate to Fairfield, and we'll bring
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: you back, too. All sponsored by Kendall-Jackson. Oh, that's awesome.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: So you can have some KJ on your way out.
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: Probably not any on the way back, but maybe. I
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: don't know. We'll see how everybody's feeling. And then you
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: can grab a Lyft or an Uber from Jungle Eastgate.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: How do you get on that bus?
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: What's that? It is part of the ticket. So when
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: you go to Eventbrite and you search Jungle Gems International
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: Wine Festival, one of the ticket options at the bottom
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: is Eastgate bus for $ 0.
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: Party bus with wine. Yes.
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: And there's no upcharge.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: That's great. And I will point out that when my
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: wife and I first started dating, she took me for
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: the very first time.
