We’ve got beer, wine and music on Insight today, plus a bit of politics. The politics is our weekly Capitol Chat and our Capitol Bureau Chief Ben Adler will tell us about Jerry Brown’s attempt to insert climate change, and himself, into the Republican presidential debate tonight.
Then it’s on to beer with UC Davis professor Charlie Bamforth, who’s here to talk about the magic, and of course, science of turning malt, hops, and yeast into high quality, tasty beer.
Also today, we have two award winning winemakers from the increasingly impressive Placer County region, including from Wise Villa Winery, which was named Golden State Winery of the Year for its overall standout performance at the California State Fair wine competition.
And on Sound Advice, Submerge Magazine’s Jonathan Carabba is bringing in some local tunes, plus music from one band from the Sahara Desert.
