• 0:45

• 0:50
  kinds of Oh yeah, which is great. I think it's great. I
• 0:53
  think we don't have and we're going to answer for volunteers. We don't have
• 0:58
  the official cigar of Yukon On Women's basketball. All right, I'll talk to
• 1:03
  it right already, Artie, can we get that done, official cigar of
• 1:07
  Ukon. I'll get onto that because you know, if you win a game,
• 1:11
  you want to I'm not saying you're gonna light one up on the bench.
• 1:15
  And we're not going to do that. It's not those days again.
• 1:19
  But like you know, and and then we're also volunteering and we're asking for
• 1:23
  volunteers for the official Tequila of Yukon Women's Basketball. Well, I do have
• 1:29
  a distillery. The things that you know, the things that I view as
• 1:33
  very very important to this program. We have way Point the Stillery as a
• 1:36
  sponsor. Way Point Distillery. That's exactly right, That's exactly right. I
• 1:38
  tasted some of their stuff. It's really really good. I got invited up
• 1:42
  to go see where they do their thing up in Bloomfield. It's it's a
• 1:45
  pretty cool concept I had. You know, remember you read about all this
• 1:49
  stuff back in the day, you know, and people have moonshine, you
• 1:52
  know, they have stills in the backyard, you know, and they'd make
• 1:53
  an illegal you know stuff moonshine went back in prohibition and stuff. But when
• 1:59
  you see it, like actually the way it's done, it's pretty fascinating.
• 2:02
  How they can you know, create something that tastes so good and it's so
• 2:09
  bad for you, all right, And on that topic, then how did
• 2:15
  you get involved in the wine business? When did that all start for you?
• 2:20
  I don't know that if I actually got involved in the wine business or
• 2:28
  I used to drive by this place when I was in high school my senior
• 2:32
  year in high school. I didn't drive before that, but I drove by
• 2:37
  this place and it looked like a really cool little, you know, mom
• 2:42
  and pop restaurant place, you know, And we never went out to dinner.
• 2:46
  I don't know if any of you guys, you know, you're around
• 2:49
  my age and you never went out to dinner. You know. My mother
• 2:52
  was like, why should we go out to eat food that I can make
• 2:54
  better than they can, you know, like, why should we? Why
• 2:57
  should not a cafe r obviously cafe are wasn't around back the copies was probably
• 3:04
  yeah, well yeah, so, you know, you didn't go out much.
• 3:07
  And I always thought, you know, I wonder what I wonder what
• 3:09
  that's you know, what's what's going on in there? I wonder what that's
• 3:14
  like. And I always was fascinated by the entertainment, hospitality thing of food
• 3:22
  and wine and what that represents to Italian people, especially everybody, but you
• 3:30
  know, especially Italian people. I mean it's food and wine and friends and
• 3:36
  family. It's it's a big deal. And I didn't know anything about any
• 3:39
  wine that was any good until like nineteen ninety four or ninety five or something
• 3:46
  like that, when a friend of mine just introduced me to some really really
• 3:50
  really good wines and he said, you know, you should start to study
• 3:53
  some of this stuff and learn more about this. And that's why I did
• 3:55
  it, just from you know, just for myself. I just wanted to
• 3:58
  know more about it, you know, I mean, you can, you
• 4:02
  know, think back to high end wine for you was you know, when
• 4:08
  you helped your father and your uncle make wines and there weren't that many stems
• 4:12
  in it. Oh we got a grete, We got a great batch this
• 4:15
  year. Man, there's like very few stems, all right. Great.
• 4:20
  I never had wine that was brown. So you know, once you find
• 4:26
  like a really really good, you know, Italian wine, you realize,
• 4:30
  Wow, this is what it should have been like back in the day.
• 4:32
  You know, maybe we should have washed our feet when we were stopping grapes.
• 4:38
  It would have tasted better. Did you stop grapes. Have you ever
• 4:43
  No, because we came to America, and we came to America like we
• 4:46
  were up we were upscale. Man. My uncle he had this hand crank
• 4:49
  thing. You know, you put him in there crush everything, and everything
• 4:54
  went in there. That's why you know. You you either drank it or
• 5:00
  you put it in your card if you didn't have any guess they work both
• 5:05
  ways. Gotcha? Gotcha? All right, we'll take a quick break,
• 5:09
  come back and we'll maybe talk a little more basketball on the Yukon Women's Pass.
• 5:13
  Now, let's talk more one, all right, that too. It's
• 5:14
  the Yukon Women's Basketball Coaches Show on Learfield.
