Welcome. Welcome to the best five minute wine podcast with Forrest Kelly. Last one. What's
00:18
a fun fact? Do you have a fun fact about your palate or your tasting process that kind of
00:23
surprises and amazes people? No, I mean, I can't think of anything that's really that
00:28
interesting. But let's let's think. Fun fact. Because in tying in with the last question,
00:35
I was at a party and they were serving sushi with spam on a stick on a like a shish kebab
00:42
with sushi. Yeah. And the spam is like, what is going on? You know, I'd eat it. You know,
00:47
I mean, spam musubi. You know, you have rice and you have spam. Spam's just a little bit
00:51
of sugar and salt and pork. Right. As long as I think it's seared off, it'll be fine.
00:56
But yeah, I'm trying to think of a fun fact. Because you kind of you can use your tasting
01:02
prowess as a kind of a superpower, right? Yeah. You know, I think I have a good taste
01:07
memory. I think that's one of the unique things about me. I don't think I really have any
01:10
like fun facts, but I do have a good taste memory where if you give me a glass of wine,
01:14
I'll be like, oh, it tastes like this wine I had 15 months ago at this place. And they're
01:18
like, oh, it's the same wine. Right. That'll be that's like a weird fun fact about me is
01:22
I have this kind of interesting taste memory. And I have a very, I think, sensitive taste,
01:28
which is why I'm so particular with wines that I love. And not everyone's going to agree
01:32
with me. But that's the best part about the world. You know, we all, you know, like different
01:37
art and different music. And that makes us different. At the end of the day, though,
01:40
