Show notes

Bordeaux's coolest champion, Erica Catubig, stepped into the octagon to eat french fries and discuss michel rolland... and we ran out of fries. Go visit her at Le Gratin, which might actually be the most fun we've had at a restaurant this year. Don't tell anyone. This is it, really, the moment of when we finally get to the evil heart of Bordeaux. Thank you so much, Patreons (Patreon.com/disgorgeous) for letting us have this much fun. We love you all.

Episode 221: Bordeaux in the USA, Part Two: BDX VDF WTF BBQ 420 (ft. Miguel de Leon) Oct 30, 2022

Show notes

James Beard award winning sommelier sextrodinaire Miguel De Leon came by the studio with his dog, Carrots, to discuss wines from Bordeaux that are not, as it were, of Bordeaux. Two dogs is a very interesting new stress factor for podcasting and I'm sure it's been utilized by all the greats. Luckily, Miguel is a serious professional and this episode really cooks! Please! Shop Miguel's collection at Drink Proxies for all your non alcoholic needs. They are delicious and Miguel made them for you and they won't make you say stupid shit. ////LIST////

Show notes

Noted bubble hunk Michael Cruse was kind enough to get totally deranged with us one fine afternoon and discuss wines of the French Southwest. This is the introduction to our Bordeaux season and it feels like sinking into a warm bath and I'm so excited. If you want to drink along, the whole list is on patreon, please don't tell the wine berserkers its basically all right bank stuff whoops. Please buy Michael's wine constantly and without heed. They are truly something wonderful and we're lucky for them. ////LIST////

Episode 219: Mr. Bojo Risin' (ft. Amanda Smeltz and Aaron Ayscough) Oct 16, 2022

Show notes

Duck welcomes esteemed sommelier Amanda Smeltz and pioneering natural wine journalist Aaron Ayscough for a scintillating conversation obout the Beaujolais. Amanda and Aaron are basically the most interesting voices in natural wine right now, so it’s crazy we’re not charging you to listen to this. Please buy The World of Natural Wine at your local bookstore and subscribe to Aaron’s Substack (https://substack.com/profile/15653834-aaron-ayscough).
While you’re doing online things, buy Amanda’s book of poetry, Imperial Bender. (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0984496157?pf_rd_p=d1f45e03-8b73-4c9a-9beb-4819111bef9a&pf_rd_r=J6Y1SQQ60V41SF1F0KPD).
Also, I guess, get ready for Issue 4 of the zine. ////LIST////

Episode 218: Chile: Valleys of the Pod, Part Six: Aconcagua Teen Hunger Force (ft. Rafa Garcia Febles) Oct 10, 2022

Show notes

Rafa Garcia Febles, aka Mr. Two Damn Cute and Anti-imperialist came on to get nasty and weird and discuss the Northernmost Valleys of Chile, but basically to discuss what, exactly, the remnants of Fascism do to a country. This, I'd say, is canonically one of our "Angry" episodes, so sorry in advance. There's something we're really struggling with here, but also, more importantly, flashes of really beautiful wine and (don't laugh at me for saying this) a little bit of a better world too.
Rafa is a saint and is opening a restaurant but has asked us to never mention which one. Go to all of them and spend money, just in case.

Episode 217: Chile: Valleys of the Pod, Part Five: I Po, You Po, We All Po for Maipo (ft. Keara Driscoll) Oct 03, 2022

Show notes

Hi, John is in France probably making women do his laundry, so it's Kevin here to explain the episode. Maipo is where Chile starts to get... complicated? Keara is the funniest there is, and if I remember right, we both roast the hell out of John for most of this Episode and he gets really upset. Oh, also, we try to drink an expensive bigger Chilean wine and, spoiler alert, it's not that fun. But Keara shows us that she has a bright future as a master blender.
heres the stuff we drank I think:

Vina Casalibre, cab Franc del Otro Planeta
Trotomundos, Cabernet Sauvignon
Antiyal, Vinedo Escorial Carmenere

Show notes

It's a Kev /John silly episode, but instead of silly it's pondering. Damn, I think we solved the New World on this one. Uh, no big plugs, but check out Carignan. That shit rules. ////LIST////
