The world of whiskey wages on even despite the world seemingly being at a halt. In this week’s chat, I sit down with one of the world’s favorite whiskey men, Adam Harris. As he sits and sips some Booker’s 25th Anniversary Bourbon in Houston, we ponder life, film, and what we can do to think about one’s self in these times. We chat QT, Brad Pitt, Squirrels, and more.

The Covid19 world is new and different. So I’m taking the time out, in reverence to Social Distancing, to do some remote chats on Instagram Live. This is the first of many with my good friend Antonio Matta. He’s a great bartender, and manager with an astute interest in all things agave. We chat Metal, horror, and more.

Ep 293 – Leslie Cobos: A Rebel With a Cause
It has been a very serpentine road for Cinco Sentido’s Leslie Cobos. Spending much of her youth in Ciudad de Juarez and El Paso, her Mexican heritage paired perfectly with her affinity for hospitality. With a formative move to Fort Worth, the challenges of understanding American culture, learning English, and fitting into the new environment met her head on. After leaving the world of politics disillusioned by the system, an agave opportunity changed her life forever. We chat Mezcal, travel, cultural heritage, and that DJ life….

Ep 292 – Charlie Moore: It All Works Out in the End
Dalla’s Charlie Moore has worked in many different areas of the hospitality industry, but like many others, whiskey became his true calling. With early days in Iowa and a bit of troublemaking intermixed, Charlie shuffled jobs for a bit before finally falling in love with hospitality. His love of people, learning, and structure combined perfectly to provide a larger sense of purpose. And as Dallas’ cocktail scene started to thrive, Charlie found larger and more creative opportunities. Now, as the a leading whiskey ambassador in Texas, what challenges and struggles are in store? We chat Glendronach, fatherhood, trouble, and more.
