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 listened to this podcast.

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.

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////

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////

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////
