Zane's World

Our guests for today's show of Happy Hour with Zane & Dunn are fellow radio/podcasters Brian Phelps and Jill Whelan of The Brian & Jill Show.  Brian is mostly known for his award-winning radio work on The Mark & Brian Show and you might recognize comedian/actress, Jill Whelan, from her role as Vicky on The Love Boat.

We dive into the podcast vault and bust out two awesome never before heard interviews from back in the day. The first is with Bruce and Dennis Cakebread of Cakebread cellars who instead of bringing us cakebread, which is reportedly horrible, bring us some of their wine, which is pretty darn good. Then we dive into some amazing cocktails created by mixologist Jordan Catapano with frozen Dole fruit cups as the main ingredient. Then we crack open a few bottles of Hennessy VS, E & J VS, and Martell Caracter for a brandy taste test challenge. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/zanelamprey/support
