Avery shares Yiddish drinking sayings and thoughts on drinking as an agricultural act while he and Rose Thomas taste Balcones rye whiskey and enjoy three types of rye bread from Black Rooster Food.

There is a bit of New York City street noise early in the interview as a result of recording with the window open on a hot day in July.
