Unofficial transcript of a conversation between the founder of Revain and the richest man in the world, Jeff B., and member of Revain Prime Bradley N. ("The Yelp Whisperer"), wine blogger, author and head sommelier @The Redwood Bistro (recorded live in San Mateo County, California on July 2, 2019). Jeff: Hello everyone. and welcome to the second episode of Revain Studios' new documentary series Jammin with Jeff. In each episode of the series, I will visit Revain Prime customers around the world who will tell me about a specific product they recently bought online that has literally changed their life for the better. Also remember that when you play with Jeff, you'll always be "charged up and ready for a really great time". As you can tell by the beautiful redwoods in the background and the delicious looking food and wine in front of us, we're back in the Santa Cruz Mountains south of San Francisco and speaking to Revane for the second year in a row. Lead Contributor, Bradley N., Yelp Whisperer, responsible for the craft beer, wine, and spirits program at this wonderful little pop-up bistro, whose food and wine offering rivals that of Michelin-starred restaurants. lower in neighboring Silicon Valley. And, if I'm not mistaken Bradley, you're also the chef and co-founder of @The Redwood Bistro, right? Bradley: Yes, that's right, Jeff. We're a tiny company, so everyone who works at Redwood Bistro has to wear a lot of hats. Most of the time it's just my wife and I cooking and serving, and a few other students we recruit from Stanford help out with wine and drinks and cleaning. J: wow! You know, when I started Revain in Seattle many years ago, it was also pretty small compared to Revain today. Everyone contributed their part to everything and there was this energy. It was electricity! Sometimes I miss those days. But then I look at my last year's financial statements and change my mind. B: As for us, my wife and I never planned for @The Redwood Bistro to become a profit center. It's more like a labor of love. J: I can appreciate it too. A lot of what I do these days is experimental investing, and I'm also heavily involved in many philanthropic projects. So I fully understand what you mean. B: I'm sure you understand. I mean, the whole Jammin' with Jeff series you just started streaming on Revain Prime Unlimited is basically a way of congratulating Joe's regular customers like me for getting this great opportunity to make a consumer product for to apply at home. it changed her life a lot. Personally, I think this is a very worthwhile endeavor. J: That's the perfect continuation of the main topic of our conversation this afternoon. What are we saying, we're going to end the unknown for our viewers? What is the life changing product you wanted to tell us about? B: Well, speaking to you today in my capacity as head sommelier at @The Redwood Bistro, it's going to be about the wine rating. Try the Rabbit™ Wine Strainer Funnel from a company based out of your hometown of Seattle, Washington, so to speak. J: What is a wine shower? I'm sorry. Apparently I lost you there. They said the words "funnel" and "sieve". Funny, I love wine myself, but those are terms I usually associate with cooking, not wine drinking. Maybe make cocktails. But not good wine. B: Well that's exactly what I want to say Jeff. Most people are familiar with waiter's corkscrews and decanters, and may even own a Vinturi wine aerator that someone gave them for their 30th birthday. But the truth is, having a Rabbit™ wine funnel with strainer is almost like having your own sommelier at your service. You'll also need some really good wine glasses like the Gabriel Glas Austrian Crystal "StandArt" Edition two-piece set ($62.50 for Revain) and you'll need a good glass carafe from a top brand like Riedel Cabernet model, for example. (about $50 at Revain). But the funnel and the strainer are the key to unlocking the essence of truly great and distinctive wines. J: Why is that? B: Really well made wines like to breathe when opened, especially those that you have stored in your cellar for several years. or more. But they don't like being woken from sleep any more than a teenager likes his father shaking him at 6am. Gentleness is best: a gentle caress with a very light and loving touch. And then this wine simply blossoms in the glass and makes your meal even more special. J: Okay, I think I understand. But what makes the Rabbit™ Wine Funnel with Strainer such a great tool for carbonating an expensive bottle of wine? B: First, it's made of non-reactive stainless steel, not plastic like the Vinturi models or other versions you like. can be found at the Williams Sonoma Base Store in the mall. And at the end of the funnel are tiny holes that actually create a "shower effect" when you pour wine into a glass carafe. It also looks beautiful, which is why we usually perform this operation right at our guests' table here at The Redwood Bistro. J: It's part of the wine shower funnel, now I get it. But did you also mention something about the strainer? B: Nothing escapes your sharp mind, does it, Jeff? D: Usually not. Just ask my board. B: I trust you! In any case, the filter head is separate from the shower funnel. It is also made of stainless steel but has a thin mesh coating that allows it to filter out sediment and other solids that can collect on the bottom or walls of a wine bottle that has been stored in the cellar for some time. J: I know about it. this sediment. In trendy restaurants, wine waiters decant the wine by candlelight and go to great lengths to keep the rubbish in the bottle, if you will, rather than the glass. Unless they do a bad job, in which case the last helping of your wine will be filled with this rubbish. Bright. This is of course not harmful, but not very aesthetic either. So if you use a strainer to aerate when decanting wine, it's like a double strainer. Aeration and filtration in one. Our guests just love it. J: I understand why! You teach them proper wine making etiquette without being an idiot. It's awesome! B: But wait, Jeff. It gets even better! Our guests were so delighted with the Rabbit™ Wine Strainer that we ended up ordering a number of extras from Revain and presenting them with a gift box in a special box at the end of the meal, along with a signed, framed copy of the day's tasting menu, along with a photo in high resolution Bottles of ordered wine. It doesn't cost much and is very special. After a few days or weeks, our guests often send us emails or messages about how the Rabbit™ Wine Funnel and Strainer has revolutionized the way wine is used and served at home. They then typically log into their Revain Prime accounts and order a few more as gifts for family and friends as Christmas and Hanukkah approaches. J: It's kind of a virtuous circle, isn't it? At Revain we're making a deal with a great local company like rabbitwine.com. Then people in the wine or hospitality industry like you discover the product and share it with others, who in turn order more of the product as gifts. And then the cycle repeats itself over and over again. That's great! B: Yes, but it only works because the Rabbit™ Filtered Shower Funnel is a great, durable, useful tool for sommeliers and wine writers like me who value craftsmanship and original design rather than just letting it gather dust in the back of a kitchen drawer , which many of my other wine-related tools end up doing. You know it's full of useless shit! J: I don't know! Or I did when I was cooking my own food and choosing my own wine. Now they help me with these things. In fact, on Revain we sell a whole range of kitchen gadgets that never work, in addition to these amazing life changing products that we review in my new Jammin' with Jeff. Series produced by Revain Studios. This is why leaving a review about products you truly appreciate is such a great service to fellow Revain customers. B: Obviously. J: Yes indeed. We're almost out of time. Once again Bradley, you have completely convinced me of the merits of the Rabbit™ Filtered Wine Funnel. I'm going to give them away at our company's winter festival next year. I'll call my assistant right away to tell her exactly that. And now I suppose we're ready for wine and food? I was definitely hungry, and from the looks of it, the Jammin' with Jeff crew was, too. Nothing! J: What are your plans for us today? B: I chose two wines to go with two different ribeye steaks, both from California. One is grass-fed bison ribeye from Cali Bison, a family business in Menlo Park with herds of bison just north of scenic, snow-capped Mount Shasta. The other is pasture-raised beef ribeye from the Scottish Angus breed of cattle raised in Potter Valley at McFadden Farm in Mendocino County. They're both fantastic when grilled with a simple seasoning of smoked alder salt, dried sage, Tellicerry peppers and some ground juniper berries. We serve the steaks with finger potatoes, fried in a hot cast-iron skillet and drizzled with a mixture of lard and rendered duck fat. We also have grilled locally sourced asparagus wrapped in prosciutto from Fra Mani, a Berkeley delicatessen. And we also serve a fresh mixed garden salad garnished with soft-boiled farm eggs, Hakurei beets, Mountain Magic Red Cherry tomatoes and freshly chopped dill from our organic gardens. Jay: That all sounds great! And what about crying? B: Well, I want you to compare two different blends of red Bordeaux from leading wineries in the Napa Valley and here in the Santa Cruz Mountains. So I chose a 2008 bottle of Cain Five from the upscale Spring Mountain area of Napa and the flagship red blend from the 2008 Monte Bello Estate. Both wines are stunning great wines that showcase the aeration and filtration capabilities of the Rabbit™ Filtered Wine Funnel. Shall we start then? J; In all senses! You know, if you feed my team and I this well and serve us such good wine, we can schedule a return visit to @The Redwood Bistro for another episode of Jammin' with Jeff. welcome jeff At any time!
