On the lastest The #NOLADrinks Show with Bryan Dias, Jeff "Beachbum" Berry is our featured guest and it's always great to have him on! In this throwback shot from all the way back a couple years ago, it was Jeff's first time on the show at the great Tiki bar and restaurant he and his wife, Annene, operate in the French Quarter of New Orleans, @latitude29nola.
Here, Jeff is about to divulge to me the secret of all Tiki drinks. I panicked and sought to cover my ears. I feared that I was not worthy and would be cursed, becoming trapped in a cave with the Brady boys or stuck waiting on the Great Watubi with Gilligan to break said curse (if you're too young to know what this means, Google it). Since, Jeff has learned not to trust me and has never offered to share this mysterious Tiki knowledge again. He is as wise as an ancient moai!

Always had the highest of interest in how and why things taste as they do. When we happen to taste and talk about something on the show, there's an effort to explore the terroir. This, from a broad sense - the ecology, the production methodology, and the cultural backdrop against which it all happens.
This interest comes from many places. But, a big part was that the fam had a small vineyard in the San Francisco Bay Area. Spent some time in and around vineyards and their business. Here, a few years back, checking sugar levels on the winegrapes of a local Louisiana winery.
Cheers and Be Safe, You All!

Help 'em out so they'll be there on the other side ready to welcome everyone with open arms (and good food, drink & vibes)! Cheers and Be Safe, You All!
