Justine is here to taste with us through the Americas. Don't you dare call it the new world. But why is Pinot here? Does it belong here? Is Marquette a better grape? Is John the wine world's answer to Brittany Spears? Gabe I know you want a list of what wines we drink but this is Kevin's season and he's too lazy to type out all those words. Just text John and he'll tell you what it was.  EDIT : HERE IT IS JOHN DID IT JFC ////LIST//// Chacra, Patagonia Pinot Noir, 'Cinquenta Y Cinco,'...

Christy came on, and Kevin forgot to write notes, so John is GRACEFULLY doing so.  ////LIST//// Ngeringa, Adelaide Hills Pinot Noir, 'Barker Summit,' 2019// Kunoh, Nelson Pinot Noir, 'Casablanca,' 2020// Les Fruits, Adelaide Hills Pinot Noir, 'Atmospheres,' 2019 //// Support the show

Alicia Kennedy is, frankly, a must follow and must read for anyone who believes in food and drink. Sorry, not sorry, she is a guiding light right now and her book No Meat Required is STAGGERINGLY good. She came on the pod to discuss bivalves, the socialism of nice things, wine, vegetarianism and what people think food books need to be.  Truly incredible interview, also, her substack is REQUIRED READING Support the show

The man, the myth, the legend. We are so pleased to have one of our favorite winemakers, Roberto Henriquez, sit down with us for an hour and talk about Chile, French people in Chile, Pais, and more. It should be known that Roberto gave Yuma so many pets and she really appreciated it.  Our season on Pinot Noir will continue next week!  ////LIST//// L.A.

Pinot leaves France and voyages out into the rest of the EU to find herself. But can she ever really escape her past?  Libby is wicked smart, and a good at singing.  We start with some musical theatre chat so you know this episode is gonna be a banger, like a classic Stanley Kubrick movie, you'll be at the edge of your seat. Something about birds.  ////LIST//// Escoda- Sanahuja, Conca De Barbera, 'La Llopetera,' 2021// Grawu,  Vigneti Delle Dolomiti Pinot Noir, 2021// Rennersistas,...

Kevin again. Here we are, in a very special Kevin season, and John is too busy getting drunk in Montreal to write anything here. An Auvergne, a Jura, and an Alsatian walk into a pinot.... you won't believe what happens next. ////LIST//// Vincent and Marie Tricot, VDF, '3 bonhommes,' 2022// Benedicte and Stephane Tissot, Cotes du Jura, 'Pinot Noir Sous la Tour,' 2019// Christian Binner,  Alsace Pinot Noir, 2022//// Support the show

Dr. Edward Slingerland, author of Drunk:  How We Sipped, Danced, and Stumbled our Way to Civilization explains, rather patiently, how drinking is, actually, good and makes the case for slightly restrained hedonism. His book, which is out now and purchasable, is almost certainly required reading for anyone working or thinking about booze, especially in an age of moralization and anxiety over drinking. Buy the book, guys.  Get the full episode (and 72 others) at Patreon.Com/disgorgeous Support...

The idea of this season is what if Burgundy never existed. Kevin eats half an edible and explains the concept to John. The boys messed up the recording of this one so the first 15 minutes sound kinda weird sorry. This is Kevin. They drank a Berthout-Gerbet Fixin.  This season is going to be so, so good.  ////LIST//// Berthout-Gerbet, Fixin, 2020 //// Support the show

Tira Johnson returns to talk about the Adriatic Sea, pink wine, octopuses, and that space where the ocean meets the sky 3. Truly, my heart aches with how good these wines are, I know this is a comedy podcast, but literally every single one made me want to punch a hole in the table. This mediterranean rosé thing is literally the best idea we've had so far, and you should, literally, make drinking wines like this your priority for the rest of the summer. Visit Tira at Ilis this fall in...

James aka Mr. Too Damn Children's Atlas himself came over on probably the hottest day of the year to whip us into shape RE: The Eastern Mediterranean and Aegean regions, rosés, and Phoenicians. Spoiler alert: We really push the definition of what a rosé can be by, like, wine #3. This is going to be such a cool season. Please, please, please, seek out wine from here and drink it. The more we do, the more we'll see and then hopefully we can send Duck to do journalism in Izmir or something....

Perry Conner and Peter Szilagyi hijacked the pod to explain that actually, N/A Coors is the best beer, Hybrid Grapes make the best wine,  and that Virginia isn't just for lovers, it's also for serious wine. This is kind of like #girldinner for your brain, ok? Just have fun with it. DM Perry and Peter all the time, buy their wine, support local projects and insist on having f*****g fun drinking wine sometimes ok?  ////LIST//// American Wine Project, 'Social Creature,' 2021// Star Party,...

Kevin knocked this episode title out of the park, for real. This is, as always for the first episode of a season,  a reminder of how dumb and silly we are without our gorgeous genius guests. Welcome to our Mediterranean Rosé season. Strangely enough, our first episode is about pink wine from the north. Just go with it - we wanted to chat about rosé without burning any of the vvvv special wines we got for the season. We are so excited to spend the rest of the summer on this.  Full list for...

Read Jirka's article on Punch: it is the bible for this shit. Jirka came to chat about cider / wine coferments, the future of everything, and to not laugh at our dumb jokes. She's the best.

This episode felt so f*****g good wow, cider rules. This is all about cider from the damn orchard, featuring someone who should know: Ryan James Burke of Occam, Angry Orchard and Virtue, aka Mr Too Damn Apples.  This was, frankly, a really insane lineup of pommological treats.

First things first,  BUY THE BOOK. It's good and wonderful and will be a reference for years to come. We probably don't need to talk about France for like, a long time now, so like, you're welcome the rest of the world. Jon is a treasure. He also has some bones to pick with Alsace, which was very very very fun to discuss.  Hope you freaks love maceration and talking about cru classification. ////LIST//// Christian Binner, VDF, 'Si Rose,' 2021// La Grange de l'Oncle Charles, VDF, 'Mille lieux...

Two of the most John-like guests join John to discuss Andalucia. This is the first of a mini-series on “Spain,” which is a concept we are trying to wrap our heads around. This is literally what Disgorgeous season 1 felt like, but I do think I cut all the horrible jokes. These were all surprisingly delicious and I cannot understand why, for the life of me, I don’t drink more stuff from here. Oh well, also, sorry for talking about fascism. ////LIST//// Mayeteria sanluqueña, Andulucia Palomino...

Theme song by Shark?! Backyard by Daytrip. Vibes by hangovers. Two of the West Coasts Naughtiest Nattys explain to Duck about winemaker family trees, connections among different warring natural wine clans, and interesting middle eastern virility techniques they read about on weight lifting forums in 2003. Notable also bc we had two semi-priceless bottles be corked right before recording, so if we seem sad that's why. ////LIST//// La Onda, North Yuba Sierra Foothills white wine, 'Amor...
