What We’re Drinking with Dan Dunn — Arts
What We’re Drinking with Dan Dunn

A fantabulous conflation of history, culture, politics, famous people and booze, strained through the cognitive mesh of a best-selling author, polymath and inveterate reprobate.

Show notes

Dan is joined by Wine Enthusiast magazine's reigning "Winemaker of the Year" Greg Brewer of Brewer-Clifton Winery in Santa Barbara, CA.

107. Billy Gould of Faith No More & comedian Joe DeRosa Jan 12, 2021

Show notes

Dan and guest cohost Joe DeRosa powwow with Billy Gould, founding member of Faith No More and proprietor of Yebiga Rakija. Never heard of “rakija” or “rakia," the famous fruit brandy of the Balkans? You're not alone. This beautiful, bracing spirit might be on every table in Croatia, Serbia, Bulgaria and Bosnia, but until now, the finest family recipe version has never come stateside. Unless it was packed in a suitcase. Billy Gould and his team have changed that with Yebiga —an 86-proof spirit, clear like the morning sun on a windowpane, lightly spicy, certainly fruity, floral, clean and a bracing bit of wonder in a bottle.

106. Singani with Steven Soderbergh Jan 05, 2021

Show notes

Dan chats with director Steven Soderbergh, whose iconic films include Traffic, Erin Brockovich, Ocean’s 11 through 23... what else, The Laundromat, Out of Sight... Contagion— although Dan DOES NOT recommend watching that last one during this particular period of time. Steven’s got his own spirits brand called Singani 63— Singani being the national liquor of Bolivia, and 63 being the decibel level Dan screamed at while watching them remove Gwyneth Paltrow’s scalp in Contagion... again, don’t do it. Not now! Instead watch Magic Mike and get lost in the carefree splendor of Channing Tatum’s abs. Also on the show, filmmaker and Cinema Vino host Marcos Efron pairs wine with three of Soderbergh's finest films, and Dan recounts the time he drove race cars with an unassuming, yet massively famous rockstar.

Show notes

Dan is joined by Seggie Isho and Steve Morgan of the wildly popular group Straight No Chaser, who ushered in the modern a cappella craze twelve years ago by releasing an unorthodox and rousing version of "The 12 Days of Christmas.” And they ain’t just singin’, they boozin... the band partnered with Nashville’s Hard Truth Distilling Co. for a signature vodka that Dan likey likeys. Also, our host unveils a boozy version of the classic poem "Twas the Night Before Christmas," reviews some new adult beverages and signs off for the year with an all-time favorite, snowy tale.

That's a brand owned by a band you may have heard of, goes by the name Metallica. Ya, so this episode rocks, and it rocks hard.
