Episode Notes

Episode 28 – Hidden Gems

After a week away, Pete and VinoMike are back!

The reason for the off week was a death in Pete’s wife’s family. Gretchen’s Aunt Vicky – her Godmother – passed away suddenly. Pete spent a full week in Nebraska with her family being a supportive spouse. This show is dedicated to Aunt Vicky and we thank her for her service to our country.

While away, there was a lot of family time. One thing Pete did was go to a hidden gem of a restaurant in tiny West Point, Nebraska called The Bohemian Duck. The food was incredible and the wine list surprising. He found Porter Creek Syrah and Pamplin Cabernet Sauvignon. And to pair with the duck, he was thrilled to find R. López de Heredia Viña Tondonia 2007. To find these wines in such a small place in the middle of small-town Nebraska was a real treat!

VinoMike talked about a hidden gem in Las Vegas – Lotus of Siam. The spicy Thai food goes perfectly with German Riesling and Mike talks about the huge list they feature. A small sampling of the list is online but you gotta be there for the full experience!

Pete also talks about visiting a couple of places in Omaha – WineStyles and Corkscrew. Pete started his wine career as an owner of WineStyles and he enjoyed that trip down memory lane. He also talked about finding Ameztoi Txakolina at Corkscrew. Another hidden gem!

The duo winds down the episode talking about supporting local as much as possible in the pandemic. Let’s be safe and keep these local hidden gems going!

As a reminder, Pete and Mike do not accept advertising dollars from wineries or wine wholesalers. They purchase the bottles they taste on the show. These are not paid endorsements. They could use the money, so this integrity thing sucks.
