Recorded at a very chic location in midtown Manhattan, and everyone is LOVING it. The boys welcome Bianca Sanon, superstar sommelier and new distro goddess to discuss rocks. That's it, that's the bit folks. With just a tiny scaffolding like that, podcast greatness can emerge. It's really, honestly, heartening and beautiful, especially because this …

I cried 3 times interviewing Claudine and Michelle from Heya Wines, who are making truly gorgeous wines in the North of Lebanon and supporting communities of women and children displaced by the Syrian Civil war. You should seek out their wines, imported by the wonderful Terra Sancta Wine Imports. At this moment, US weaponry is being used by Israel …

Please buy Jennifer's book, imperial wine, which is the wildly interesting take on the invention of the new world in wine.

Solo boys episode to finish our Rhône season strong. It sucks to say it, but damn it's fun doing France again. Uh, this is probably one of those "important" episodes we'll reference a lot in the future because we accidentally spell out our entire wine philosophy. So, like, this is the best you're going to get about what we actually believe until we…

The boys are re-joined by Todd Cavallo from Wild Arc to do two things: hype up New York Natural Wine and figure out what Slow South of the Rhône Valley does exactly. There's some light Robert Parker Chatter, and then all of a sudden everyone goes full berserk dead-eyed nattie. We love to see it folks, sometimes it really just is that easy. Guys, dr…

It really feels like we are describing a real mood on this ep with our spiritual dad, Ryan Looper. We accidentally just yapped and gossiped about the decaying corpse of the fine wine industry. I guess this is cathartic? The wines are notable for being incredibly good but I think something made us use icky descriptors for nearly all of them. This is…

James Sligh, AKA the Children's Atlas of Wine joins us for our first modern Rhône Episode to kick off and complicate our first French Season in, like, a million years by making us drink two Swiss wines.

Eddie Chami, perhaps the most visionary winemaker in the middle east right now graciously sat down for a phone interview with me instead of seeing his kid graduate.

I can die happy. Rafa and Kevin said this episode made sense and that the whole *concept* is good. Damn I needed that. Please tell a friend, just something as simple as "I listen to a really parasocial wine podcast and I think you'd like it." Stuff like this is , to me, greater than all the wine in the world. If you tell a friend let us know and we…

New guest / America's new favorite green point wine queen Mackenzie Gasset @_baby.cham_ came on to learn and teach about St. Elizabeth of Portugal, connections within the Iberian Peninsula, the Pope's latest goof-up, and, of course, victorian erotic novels.

The bit is that our guest picks the wine for the episode this season. One cab sauv, one sauv blanc.

Kevin is on vacation so Big Sturge stepped up for a v fun chat with Ethan Risinger, King Country mouse about Piwi grapes in the Dolomites and Styria. Duck is literally terrified the entire time, so this is officially off the rails from the get go, but actually ends up getting, dare I say, poignant. Cutting edge wine from some of the best terroirs i…

Sarah Favinger, bassist and wine buyer to the stars joins the boys to discuss the white hot border between Ottoman civility and Hapsburg barbarity. To be incredibly honest, this is probably the most insane we've sounded in years -- sorry Sarah! Hard to overstate how good all these wines were --wines to treasure rather than slam down while doing big…

This is a message from the future. If you don't join the Disgorgeous wine club at Copake Wine Works dot com the robots will win.
