There's no way around this: all time banger of an episode, maybe Miguel's finest appearance yet. I'm pretty sure I cut all the bad parts so if this makes you mad at any of us that's due to a problem with your heart. The twisted throuple discusses wine using the lens of Coruscant, the urban planet at the center of the Galaxy. Weirdly enough, this actually works really well. Please go visit Miguel's new restaurant Beautiful Eyes, opening this fall in Manhattan. ////LIST//// Xiaopu Hualai, ...

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 listen...

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. Thanks to the New School's critical drinking squad for making me get this on paper, sorry I sound so nervous. I was a child last year!!!!!!!! If you want more stuff that is accidentally serious, please consider subscribing to the Disgorgeous patreon and listening to our "Crush Pad" series of interviews. &nbsp...

300 episodes is quite a milestone, luckily we forgot to talk about that because we recorded this on January 6th and we had to be a little silly ok? That's what being a patriot is all about. This is the first episode of our new high concept season: Westdeutschland, aber Riesling ist verboten - "Western Gemany, but Riesling is forbidden," where we discuss German Wines without the crutch of riesling. Weirdly enough, this episode is all about riesling, but it's the kind of thing that makes sense ...

Jesse Shapell came on for an absolutely pitchfork style episode and the best closer to a season we could imagine. You'll love it. Go to Barboncino and eat pizza with him.////LIST//// Insula, Azores, 'Chao de lava AA,' 2022 // SRC, Etna Bianco, 2021// Clos Marfisi, Corsica, 'Ravagnoli,' NV//// Support the show

To hear the full episode please check out Patreon.com/disgorgeous Fred Duhme, the founder of Austria's Female Wine Collective sat down with dumb ol' John to discuss empowering women in the Austrian wine scene, the pervasiveness of old boys clubs, and to besmirch the French. Fred is a treasure and her work is deeply cool and necessary, so keep giving her awards and shit, but also make sure you listen to her. ////LIST//// Francois de Nicolay, Macon Villages, 2020 Support the show

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 incre...
