Flawless Wine - A podcast about wine flaws and the people who love them....or don't.

The end of an era! To finish off our series, we investigate the biggest flaw of all, capitalism, with our host dads aka wine menaces to society, the boys from Disgorgeous. We go up, down, all around, a little bit of Monica, a lot about feelings, and obviously about how wine's human effects can be catalysts for good change. we drank:19 Crimes Rosé19 Crimes Cali RedBarefoot Bubbly Sweet RoséBartenura Moscato d'Asti Dark Horse Pinot GrigioMyx Moscato & PeachMyx Moscato & Grape
