Botanical Trails
A chance to explore gins with friends, have a few laughs and go off the beaten path. It is a small slice of the intellectual tavern life.

Episode 9 - Drinks with Alyssa - Japanese Gins
"It tastes like Christmas" - that's how my guest Alyssa describes gin, and I love that. In episode 9 we try a pair of Japanese gins, and discover how the two distilleries actually have a little history in common. In addition, we chat about how I was afraid I was going to lose track of my mother-in-law at the Tokyo train station, how Alyssa was concerned I was having her try a coffee flavored gin, and we put a different spin on Off The Beaten Path, where Alyssa talks about something she actually would not recommend - and I end up speaking for the opposition.
Come for the gin, and stick around to hear about how major league baseball games in Japan are just a bit different.
