Episode 71: Sonoma Dan Jul 15, 2019

Show notes

Sup bronomas?? We out here getting our identities stolen and stacking paper. Lean into your daddiest impulses and explore Sonoma wine with two dudes who absolutely like and respect the appellation. This episode is probably the most deranged we’ve had in a while and it feels so good. Remember to stop it halfway through because sorry sorry sorry there isn’t an episode next week bc of vacations it’s summer Jesus Christ also Duck needs to check into the hospital for carb addiction.

Episode 69: The Blind Leading The Blind (Feat. Christy Frank) Jul 01, 2019

Show notes

One of our rare smart episodes, the boys learn how to blind taste correctly from wine goddess Christy Frank, and end up getting more than they bargained for. 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. Please go shopping at Christie’s store, Copake wine works in the Berkshires, read the Feiring line newsletter, and consume Australian wine.

Episode 68: Basque to the Future (ft. Alaia Ortega) Jun 24, 2019

Show notes

OOOOOO TXAKOLINA EVERYBODY TXAKOLINA! The boys are joined by LIC Market's Alaia Ortega to finally discuss Basque wines and holy shit do they ever destroy all their natural wine credits ASAP. Everyone is too thirsty to discuss farming or whatever -- instead expect a lot of speculation on what exactly a Basque is and whether or not Franco was cool. This is another no cut episode, which we all know the fans can't get enough of. This is a super 2011 statement, but Txakoli is great af, even if it's not "GREAT" af -- theres a lot to think about re: appellation rules in vvv bucolic spots. 100% chance in 10 years none of this will be right. Oh well, we'll apologize then. Please visit Alaia in LIC and drink her cool wines and donate to patreon.com/disgorgeous. /// LIST//

Episode 67: The Pfalz in our Stars (Feat. Jesse Shapell) Jun 14, 2019

Show notes

Fan favorite, Jesse Shapell of Win Son and Win Son Bakery, returns and boy do we need him. Kevin decided to get stoned to the bone and iron shirts (?) right before the pod, and we all know Duck can't turn the ship around. 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. Please visit Jesse's restaurants and congratulate him on his upcoming child, Pikachu McDiamond (This is canon). Patreon.com/disgorgeous and we'll help you name your kid too./// LIST//

Episode 66: The Gang Goes To Alto Piemonte (Featuring Ryan Looper) Jun 09, 2019

Show notes

Damn this is some high af Piemonte right here damn puff puff pass lmao. The boys welcome Ryan Looper, the inspiration for the 2012 film about robots whomst kiss, to talk about Nebbiolo and interesting ways to get fired for creeping out your bosses. It’s called socialist praxis, fucking look it up, loser. Recorded at Kevin’s kitchen table and duck was wearing shoes, so v professional vibes. It’s season 5, donate to our Patreon (patreon.com/disgorgeous) and visit Loopers web site to develop good opinions about wine: ryanlooper.com. I guess buy wine from him too///

Episode 65: MuscaMay Episode 4: Daylight Come and Melon de Bourgogne May 26, 2019

Show notes

THE STUNNING CONCLUSION TO MUSCAMAY! The boys explore Melon from around the world (Other parts of the Loire and California) to better understand Muscadet and its many joys. Kevin brings a triggering wine out of spite, while Duck recounts a roasting from another podcast host. There's a lot of sadness in this being our last French wine episode for a whole season, but a lot of joy too, don't worry. More importantly, the boys spend like 25 minutes rating all the great apes. Quick, you listen, try to guess which one is the best. I bet you won't be able to. Huge shout out to Butch Judy's, soon to be Brooklyn's premier queer vermouth bar for hooking us up w/ some dope cans. Buy them asap, and get ready for their long awaited opening. Next season going to be dope, we love you. Patreon.com/disgorgeous and tell a freaking friend.///

Episode 64: MuscaMay Episode 3: Yo Gabro Gabro, or, Maybe it's Corked, Maybe it's Muscadet (ft. Brian Heiss of Heritage Wine) May 20, 2019

Show notes

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. Brian at Heritage wines /// LIST//

Episode 62: MuscaMay Episode One: Metamorphic Muscadet Rangers, or, The Schist Hits The Fan, or, Gneiss Guys Finish Last (feat. James Sligh) May 06, 2019

Show notes

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. Please go to James' classes at Compagnie des vins surnaturels or just go to the bar there and demand his services. He's a good boy. Please donate to our Patreon (Patreon.com/disgorgeous)

Show notes

Action packed season 3 finale as the boys overcome debilitating Jeb Bush-itis to drink Trousseau, the shadow the hedgehog of grapes. Get ready for a bad-wax sealed episode full of uncut sonic references, discussions about grabby Joe Biden, Spanish nicknames, and cinema. Thank you all for coming and party- rocking at meme's diner!
