Bedrock Wine Conversations

On today's episode Bryan and Katie Flannery of Flannery Beef. Yes, this is a wine podcast. But Morgan and I have been huge fans of their steaks for two decades introduced to us by the famed wine critic Robert Parker. And what goes better with a great glass of wine than a great dry age steak? We discuss all things beef including the aging process, mold, cuts and the bureaucratic difficulties small producers share with the wine business. Make sure to have a steak ready for the grill after you listen to this episode. To order some of the greatest beef, pork and lamb products in the world go to flannerybeef.com. You mind will be blown!
