We're back and dumber than ever. Kevin decided this theme and it's perfect, but he was with his family and wasn't able to actually figure out how it should go, so I asked the two smartest people in wine, Pete and Emily, to help me figure it out. This is the first episode of our star wars blind tasting season and it is based off of the planet Mustafar, first (canonically!) seen in Revenge of the Sith, but heavily featured in various media since then, notably the Darth Vader (2022) comic run, which fucking whips. This will be the best season of Disgorgeous ever. Please buy Llewelyn wine and vote for Zohran Mamdani even if you don't live in NYC.  ////LIST////Belly Wine Experiment, 'Experiment,' 2020//Yvonne Metras, Fleurie, 'Le Printemps,' 2019 ////Support the show

We're back. The boys welcome the truly incandescent Elaine Chukan Brown to discuss their incredible The Wines of California. Please stop what you're doing and read it. It is, full stop, absolutely required reading if you would like to ever think about wine again. Buy it. Christie came too, just in case we got weird or awkward. (We didn't but we love seeing Christie). After this episode Kevin and I discussed the next season, and lets just say, get ready to be really embarrassed you ever listened to this podcast.Buy the BookSupport the show

Hey guys, Kevin has his anniversary and I have my birthday today, so I'm uploading a talk I gave about a year ago that is the closest thing to a Disgorgeous Manifesto you'll get.

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 in a campaign of terrorism across Lebanon as well as in the Gaza Strip in Palestine, where the conditions verge on genocidal. Death is incredibly close throughout the country, adding another layer of precarity to the already fraught harvest season. Your tax dollars are doing this and not going to fix any of the problems that you and I would like to see fixed. This will not end without the United States developing a conscience, and you should feel absolutely comfortable using your vote and your voice as a tool to force this. Please if you are in the United States, take a moment to remind your elected officials that this is unacceptable -- the executive branch could stop this with one phone call.  If you are able to, please donate to the following organizations --@lebaneseredcross @nationstation__ @thebakeatelierlb @alebeirut food distribution to the displaced. @beitelbaraka all around assistance@lebfoodbank@offre.joie @foodblessedSupport the show

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.

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, drink Natural New York wine, hopefully Todd's but if you don't like those he'll help you find something else. Also, uh, let something beautiful happen to you every day

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 explained in the episode, along with why it took us so long to do Portugal and, like, a general outline of how we feel going into this season. It's pretty spooky doing new stuff, but don't worry, we're sneaking Spanish and Catalan wines in each episode to make sure everything is contextualized and to emphasize regional connections, which is apparently, Duck's dumb bullshit thesis.  Anyhow, this season is actually going to be very suitable for new listeners (finally), so TELL A FRIEND and consider pledging to our very fun patreon to hear 2 really good interviews a month. //// LIST////Quinta da Palmirinha, Vinho Verde Branco, 2019 //Quinta da Boavista, Dao Tinto,  'Rufia,' 2021////Support the Show.

hey, It's Kevin. It's John's birthday and he's in Paris or Rome or something, so here I am, in charge of talking to you about this episode. What a good one! I love when James is on cause I know for a fact I'm the dumbest one in the room. For reference: We were sitting in a triangle shape, I was lounging on the couch and the boys were both at the nerd table. This is optimal Podcasting power for me, as I can better be in control of General Vibes this way, which is basically my primary function when John and James are doing nerd stuff. The premise of this episode was to get as close to the water as possible, so this basically is an overlap with the Adriatic episode of John's Rosé season. There is some fun here and also some headscratchers. For the record, the one I thought was corked was corked and everyone admitted it later.
