Episode 90: Vermouth-to-mouth resuscitation Dec 15, 2019

Show notes

The boys are joined by Birk O'Halloran of Iconic Wines and Rockwell Vermouth to discuss Irish things, Spanish drinks, and vermouth, which is great, wow go buy some. Hope you're ready to learn a LOT about Moses, because there's an uncomfortable 8 minute tirade where you're forced to. Stay tuned for the thrilling conclusion when the trio plays "will it negroni," and "will it martini." Donate to the patreon or risk eternity in hell /// LIST//

Episode 89: Representation Matters (ft. Jirka Jireh, Sarah Fernandez, Claudia Leung and Miguel de Leon) Dec 09, 2019

Show notes

{Content Warning: Sexual Assault}

It’s a very special mic takeover by Jirka Jireh, Sarah Fernandez, Claudia Leung and Miguel de Leon to discuss Julia Moskin’s article in the New York times about Anthony Cailan and the culture of sexual assault in the natural wine community. It’s v good content and almost makes up for that “hey” nonsense from last week. Please listen to women and use your privileges (if any) to lift up others in our community.

Episode 88: How To Train Your Dragon Dec 02, 2019

Show notes

Finally, the boys get to have an episode without guests or experts, just living for the moment and vibing. The theme came when they were drunk, but I guess it’s wine that reminds them of the film “how to train your dragon,” which neither watched. Of course, this means high VA wine from Italy and no cuts. Sponsor us, Dreamworks. Come to Niche Niche Tuesday Dec 3 and 21 Greenpoint January 20 for a very good live show. ///

Episode 87: The white mutation AKA Fear the Forklift (ft. Mike Lucia) Nov 25, 2019

Show notes

The boys are joined by Mike Lucia of Rootdown to discuss white mutations of popular red wines. A lot of that got cut, however, as our hangover brains were nourished with life-giving alcohol and a new topic emerged. “What if…” we thought, “we asked… our guest… about himself?” The answer is, we actually have a v interesting conversation about the mechanics of California AVAs. Please join us on what will go down in history as our most surprisingly informative episode, and don’t forget to buy MIke’s wines, follow him on instagram to hear about new projects, and send us 7000$ each month on Patreon.com/disgorgeous. /// LIST//

Episode 86: Struck in the Middle With You (ft. Chris Struck) Nov 18, 2019

Show notes

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. Thank you to our guest, and go visit him at Union Square Cafe. If you buy a good enough wine he will show you his feet.

Episode 85: Real Pain For My Sham Friends (ft. Etienne Calsac) Nov 11, 2019

Show notes

BONJOUR les binches! Les mecs are joined by Etienne Calsac, the Avize Assassin to discuss french primary schools, secondary fermentation, and tertiary syphilis. It's a very vinous episode in the sense that its thicc and complex, but not in the sense that we discuss too much about wine. Instead, we drink a bunch of different bubbles from around the world and discuss how all cops, around the world, are bastards. Pour yourself a drink, start your automobile, and get ready for Disgorgeous international/// LIST//

Show notes

Show notes

Listen, before you get mad… have you considered that we’re baby? MICRO EP ft two insanely nervous boys discussing their wines before a sold out dinner at vinegar hill house. What fun it was. Everyone who WAS there got a secret extra 3 hours of content and hot takes, so like, next time come to our events?? Also, please note that this was supposed to be longer but some olds tried to eat dinner and gave Duck anxiety. Pray for Duck. Don’t worry, fans of long podcasts!

Episode 81: Beer Eye for the Wine Guys (ft. Garrett Oliver of Brooklyn Brewery) Oct 15, 2019

Show notes

The boys are joined by Brooklyn Beer’s Brewmaster and bestselling author Garret Oliver to discuss the intersection between wine (bad) and beer (cool, good, fun). 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. Sorry if you have a beer guy beard, we all seem to be mad at those in different ways, also, obviously at sommeliers and lying Europeans. Please come to our dinner at Vinegar Hill House October 14, and also come see all of us at Wild World Festival October 28 at Berg’n. Please also go the Brooklyn Brewery Tasting room, and buy The Oxford Companion to Beer. Also drink his beers.
