Absomphe Report post Posted March 9, 2010 Indeed! It would have been nice if there had been enough camera time to hear her impressions of the drink, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

baubel Report post Posted March 9, 2010 Indeed! It would have been nice if there had been enough camera time to her impressions of the drink, though. Indeed again. She seemed rather enthusiastic about the whole thing, so I'd sure like to know what she thought of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OMG_Bill Report post Posted March 9, 2010 Way nice indeed! It would do my heart good to see more videos similar to this one. Thank you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gwydion Stone Report post Posted March 9, 2010 It would have been nice if there had been enough camera time to her impressions of the drink, though. She finished her glass. There were other bits elaborating the science behind the louche better, more details about the laws and domestic changes, etc., but they really were a bit rambling. Informative, yes, but less than entertaining; I'll have to work on that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
precenphix Report post Posted March 9, 2010 One of the best spots I've seen regarding the drink! Excellent! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ron Report post Posted March 9, 2010 Yeah, it was a good piece. And she definitely seemed enthused! Good exposure and good information. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JoeyBear Report post Posted March 10, 2010 Excellent interview! Very cool that she was so willing to hear the truth and didn't start spouting off about the crap that circulates about the hallucinagenic properties of thujone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jack Griffin Report post Posted March 10, 2010 Super job Gwydion. It was informative, friendly, relaxed and well shot. I've had several spots done here on my guitars, and you can't always predict or control the results of what the viewers see once the crew leaves. These people did right by you. Also, I feel like I know you better now...another sign of a good piece! My only question... what was that odd looking bottle you were sampling? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sardonix Report post Posted March 10, 2010 ...um, what about the famed fire ritual...? (Seriously, given all the nonsense out there, it was great to see a pro in action. Nice work!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FAJ Report post Posted March 10, 2010 Great piece. Nice to know that you don't need a super-slow drip to drink like the pros. I was starting to get fountain-envy for a while! The best I could do was use a speed pour-spout on a bottle and cover the air-hole with my thumbs partially to get a slow drip. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joe Legate Report post Posted March 10, 2010 Search through the threads. The fast vs slow drip controversy is almost as volatile as sugar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sparky113 Report post Posted March 10, 2010 (edited) That was very good - a straight-ahead intro to absinthe for people who might know nothing about it except it's dire reputation. Also, it was nice to see both the traditional fountain-style preparation as well as a do-it-yourself kind of approach. Kudos!

Marlow Report post Posted March 10, 2010 That was terrific! It's always encouraging to see accurate media spots on absinthe, and that one was very enjoyable indeed. One question and one observation: When will that shipment of Marteau be going out? That "Liquid Muse" is a cutie! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
