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.

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.

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.

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!

Each hermit, a monk who is or who will be a priest, has his own living space, called a cell, usually consisting of a small dwelling. Traditionally there is a one-room lower floor for the storage of wood for a stove and a workshop as all monks engage in some manual labour. A second floor consists of a small entryway with an image of the Virgin Mary as a place of prayer and a larger room containing a bed, a table for eating meals, a desk for study, a choir stall, and a kneeler for prayer. Each cell has a high walled garden wherein the monk may meditate as well as grow flowers for himself and/or vegetables for the common good of the community, as a form of physical exercise. [12] Next to the door is a small revolving compartment, called a "turn", so that meals and other items may be passed in and out of the cell without the hermit having to meet the bearer. Most meals are provided in this manner, which the hermit then eats in the solitude of his cell. There are two meals provided for much of the year: lunch and supper. During seasons or days of fasting , just one meal is provided. The hermit makes his needs known to the lay brother by means of a note, requesting items such as a fresh loaf of bread, which will be kept in the cell for eating with several meals. Carthusians observe a perpetual abstinence from meat. [10] The hermit spends most of his day in the cell: he meditates, prays the minor hours of the Liturgy of the Hours on his own, eats, studies and writes, and works in his garden or at some manual trade. Unless required by other duties, the Carthusian hermit leaves his cell daily only for three prayer services in the monastery chapel, including the community Mass, and occasionally for conferences with his superior. Additionally, once a week, the community members take a long walk in the countryside during which they may speak. On Sundays and solemn feast days a community meal is taken in silence. [6] Twice a year there is a day-long community recreation, and the monk may receive an annual visit from immediate family members ////LIST//// Domaine des Rutissons, IGP Isere, 'Verdesse,' 2020 // Domaine Finot, Coteaux Gresivaudan Persan, 2018 //// Support the show

We really recommend doing that sometime soon for everyone -- it's incredible for your brain and mood. Roland has forgotten more about his home, the Savoie, than we could ever hope to know, so it was an absolute treat to hear the real gossip. Please seek out his wines and demand your local wine stores carry them... or else. ////LIST//// Domaine Blard & Fils, Cremant de Savoie, 'Grand Brut Alpin,' NV // Maison des Ardoisieres, IGP vin des Allobroges, 'Silice Blanc', 2020// Domaine Blard & Fils Vin de Savoie ‘Face Sud' 2019// Domaine Blard & Fils, Vin De Savoie, 'Lebraz' 2019// Combe Aux Reves, VDF, Jack Erre Dans Les Abimes, 2019 // Jean-Yves Peron, VDF, 'Cotillon des dames,' 2018//// Support the show

Erica Catubig lives in NYC and we didn't know because we're terrible and it's so great that Duck creeped on her instagram and made her come on because she's fucking awesome folks. This week, her philosophical genius was integral to a discussion of the mercurial-est ass grape in the Savoie, Altesse. It's like the Shiv Roy of grapes, in that Duck can't stop putting it in his mouth (cut this? Kevin? What do you think? Let me know and I won't post it.) Absolute master class in guesting from Erica, folks, she brought a fucking notebook with questions. You can hire her. Do it.

It should be noted that this episode was recorded two weeks ago, before the horrifying actions of our police state unfolded across North American this weekend. It's our hope that this light hearted chat, with the enormously charismatic and wonderful Grape Witches, could be consumed as a momentary respite from the horrors of the world around us, much as re-watching the Matrix while eating cookies and ice cream just was for the Dumb One, or at a later date when you have the mental space to hear us argue about utterly unimportant things.

The boys do their first of many burgundy episodes, as befits America’s most beloved wine critics. They pick two little selections from the Cote de Beaune, and do what they do best. I hope you planned to compare French and Incan inheritance law today and to totally shit on Mike Bloomberg, because that’s what’s on the menu. Also, a very spirited discussion of what, exactly, “Burgundy” *means.* Please DM Duck to discuss the wine professionals for Bernie Sanders phone bank and also, uh, here’s the new fucking hashtag you wanted : #popbottlesforbernie — feel free to send some cash to the only leftist who has a chance to be president in our lifetimes.

The boys are joined by Zwann Grays of Olmsted to discuss Malvasia, a "grape" from "Europe." Wake up sheeple, it's not real -- it's a damn illusion and luckily your fave squad is on the case. This is a fantastic episode if you're into epistemology or chain restaurants that we all want to eat at, or if you want to hear Kevin really relish the phrase "Drown in a butt."

Get prepared to hear *AGAIN* about Kevin's damn honeymoon, things that make Duck mad, and most importantly, how wine people can look and act cool in the bizarro world of the coffee shop.

Listen up bucko, there is no way you are going to get out of this having learned about the terroir of Franciacorta. You’re going to have to do that on your own, because the boys gleefully spent about 45 minutes derailing guest Chris Struck’s attempted monologue about it. Instead, you’re going to hear three powerful wine divos in the prime of the power and influence get absolutely out of their minds discussing method traditional sparklers without saying the word “Champagne.” There’s a lot of shots and quite a few edits, so probably none of this is legally actionable but also, uh parody laws are a thing, right? Literally though, if it’s not clear as hell from how much fu we had, these wines all are incredible joys, and frankly overdeliver. Put them in your repertoire and smoke them.

Everyone’s munching on ciabatta and ricotta, so this is a long episode with a lot of digressions — expect some cool chatter about socialist beer movements, ancient grains, Duck having bad beer opinions, and Kevin namedropping all the cool beers he knows.

Expect a lot of discussion about value, responsibility towards customers, failure and the kind of guys who say “smooth” when they taste. Christy also discusses her hair secrets and refuses to comment on our own sick cuts, and it’s clear the boys are a littler terrified of her and as such, it takes 2 glasses of wine before the discussion of what Luigi might look like shirtless.

Jesse does a good job keeping the boys in lane, and wouldn't you know it, there's a real episode here and some stunning wines, including our first foray into the realm of the sweetness. Biggest takeaway -- we're all underestimating the Pfalz. I guess that's true for most German wine regions, but like, especially this one. Maybe find a bottle I don't know do you man.

The boys are starting to loathe Muscadet and holy shit does it show. Along with Brian Heiss from Heritage Wines in Fort Greene, the squad plays a game of "musky or corked " where there are no winners. Here's the deal. Gabbro and Clay soils are, if anything, overrated in Muscadet and outclassed by other soil types. Luckily, this episode turns into one of our trademark jeremiads about the fate of natural wine in the USA. If you were wondering, we did cut about 7 minutes of chatter about getting punched in the face that never quite worked. PATREON.com/disgorgeous and go shop w.

Famed Chenin Blanc stan Jame Sligh returns to discuss schist, gneiss, orthagneiss and why we can't get girls to answer our texts. Like last time, all the legally actionable stuff got cut, so don't worry. The boys discuss geology and science, so get those elbow pads and arched eyebrows ready. Kevin did so much research and Duck got a car. We joke about this a lot, but this ENTIRE SEASON is about Muscadet. You might want to listen to episode 51 to get some baseline knowledge about muscadet, even though this is dreadfully educational AND funny.

Fresh off a string of stellar episodes and the best metrics yet, the boys take a bit of a victory lap and make bad dick jokes for 35 minutes while drinking wine Kevin smuggled back from his trip to France. After a needed 7000 calorie snack from Letherbee Distillers, shit pops into gear and we get a bit of a nuanced conversation about back labels in wine, fining, filtration, and names for samurai swords. As the boys keep repeating, this isn’t the mezcal episode, but that doesn’t stop the boys from getting rowdy on some wild stuff from Duck’s recent trip. P.s. to the three people who were planning on writing in, yes, Duck accidentally said “ancestral” when he clearly meant “Artisinal” and yes, neither of the boys can pronounce Spanish words.

Alternately, we could call this real ass biaxas. We make a lot of puns with our good friend and best winemaker in California Ian Brand. Honestly, Ian brings out some weird energy. Everyone is mean to Kevin, and maybe its NOT OKAY, but he gets the last laugh by talking about dead white boy bands a bunch. Duck’s mangled brain creates a new character, a Frenchman who likes to drink pee. There’s a lot of wine knowledge imparted and some bizarre metaphysics unleashed upon the galaxy. This is the first Spanish deep dive we’ve done in a long time, and boy was that a mistake, Spain is bae #cannonical. Albarino is tasty and dare I say, fashionable??????

Take off your baby wheels and open that sugar mouth wide cuz it’s time to party with the legendary Joe Swick. As per his insistence, we get absolutely lit on Baga, which Duck keeps comparing to Nebbiolo to hide his ignorance of the proud Portuguese wine tradition. This is our first foray into Portuguese wine and wow is there a lot more to investigate. Also, we drink grown up wine and have tannins, wow.

The boys are joined by tiny-wine list impresario and 1/2 of the upcoming @pinoynoirpodcast Miguel de Leon, the original bad boy of wine, to discuss Sauvignon Blanc from the Loire valley and to get extremely tilted on white wine. The boys revisit an old friend, re-affirm their faith in god, and get rowdy for pangolins, all the while veering dangerously close to being canceled on their birthday. Spoiler alert, the boys bring out some knives for the concept of “Loire Sauvignon Blanc,” especially that noxious valley, Sancerre, but find fun stuff to drink, without veering on too many legally actionable tangents.

A nice muscadate is spoiled by our first important corked bottle. Duck shouldn’t be alone right now, to be honest. The tires really come off, but at least there is our first tandem song (and it rules). Although this episode really veers towards classic podcast notes of two bored white dudes talking about nothing, but it also serves as your official warning about the month of May, which we’ve decided is now called either Mayscadet or Muscamay. That’s right, the boys are doing a themed month. There’s also a few hints about summer plans, which Kevin pronounces strangely and which could, hypothetically be a clue… If you’d like to help Duck solve his mystery, DM Kevin.

Kevin pronounces with gusto this episode. It’s worth it for that. Also, seriously, the boys drink a lot of grower (not show-er) wines and have a mostly good experience until the end.

The reign of dankosity ends as the boys turn their coats, doff their caps (hello m'lady) and rail fat lines of sulfites. To further overextract the fun, they are joined by natural wine partisan, writer and party planner Alexis Schwartz of Thirsty, Thirsty. This is a really reasonable smart person episode, full of Proustian memories and duck muttering about Pre-Islamic monotheists in the Arabian peninsula. Kevin can't stop talking about his dumb natural wine trip I hope none of his cool new friends here this and judge him. Everyone chokes down a difficult semi-dry and avoids doing total 180s on the concept of NYS wine, so, resounding victory.

Sharp elbows, sharp minds, sharp tongues. The boys welcome James Sligh, the wine industry's kiss of death, to talk natural fabrics, chenin blanc and way too much Star Wars. We recorded this on one of the worst politics days in recent memory, so accidentally it does get dark but we're pretty sure we got rid off all the legally actionable stuff.

The boys are joined again by Jesse Shapell from Win-Son again, and boy does it get rowdy. Seriously, who invited the BAD BOYS OF FINE WINE CRITICISM AND COMEDY? It’s sort of like Andrew Dice Clay up in here, and not only because they are all wearing leather jackets. Important to note: this episode was probably the longest original recording yet, and boy did they cut A LOT of stuff. What’s left is a meandering discussion on Beatles songs, Pizza, references to Ann Hathaway that we can’t scrub, and a surprisingly reasoned discussion on American natural wines. Lots of heart on their sleeve earnestness, along with easily our stupidest bits of all time. You’re welcome.

A solidly C+ episode introducing our new friend, chardonnay, who totally hates the school principal. We get all sorts of wild discussing the concept of “natural” wine and Californian iterations of it. The wines rip and you should buy them, but boy does Duck get passionate. Come for the actual earnest conversation about one of the biggest issues in wine today, stay for the easily 5 minutes of show tunes that made it past our edits because we’re so desperate for content. Would it be a good Patreon reward to get uncut episodes? You’d probably hate us, right? We won’t do that.

Also, you have a list of our demands. Well, it's one particular one and we WILL NOT accept substitutes. The curse is lifted, the summer of Beaujolais is finally over.

Duck got a dog and is losing his mind, even more than usual. The boys have mic trouble and cut a LOT of our first bottle, sorry sorry sorry we love you. By bottle 2 everything is working right except for the boys garbage brains, which are in RARE FORM. Join us on a discussion of travelling DILFS, pee swapping, tripping, and types of monsters. Also, first discussion of beer, which probably gets like, 4 or 5 of you maggots really jazzed. Reminder: Disgorgeous is a #nofap podcast, so hands where we can see them.
