Disgorgeous – Details, episodes & analysis

Solo boys episode to finish our Rhône season strong. It sucks to say it, but damn it's fun doing France again. Uh, this is probably one of those "important" episodes we'll reference a lot in the future because we accidentally spell out our entire wine philosophy. So, like, this is the best you're going to get about what we actually believe until we get that sweet book deal.  Thanks for all the new patreon subs, please tell your friends about us and how much you love us and write to Disgorgeouspod@gmail.com with any wine (or "wine" ) questions you've got for upcoming mail bag episodes. ////LIST////

The boys are re-joined by Todd Cavallo from Wild Arc to do two things: hype up New York Natural Wine and figure out what Slow South of the Rhône Valley does exactly. There's some light Robert Parker Chatter, and then all of a sudden everyone goes full berserk dead-eyed nattie. We love to see it folks, sometimes it really just is that easy. Guys, drink Natural New York wine, hopefully Todd's but if you don't like those he'll help you find something else. Also, uh, let something beautiful happen to you every day <3 ////LIST////

I can die happy. Rafa and Kevin said this episode made sense and that the whole *concept* is good. Damn I needed that. Please tell a friend, just something as simple as "I listen to a really parasocial wine podcast and I think you'd like it." Stuff like this is , to me, greater than all the wine in the world. If you tell a friend let us know and we'll send you psychic kiss. Go to Red Hook Tavern to see Rafa and drink from his v good wine list. ////LIST////

This is the first ep of our new Piedmont x succession season and also first in the new “studio .”  We are sorry for the audio but we are not sorry for how much fun we had. Get ready for an insane conversation about the vibes in Piedmont and like the general outlines of the new season. I am heartbroken about how good the wines are and we didn’t share them with a guest, whoops oh well. ////LIST////

Eddie Chami, the hottest winemaker, came on to talk about holding his breath, getting kidnapped in Syria, making wine in Lebanon and getting respect for indigenous varietals in the fertile crescent. Absolutely incredible knowledge drop, holy shit, and its hard to overstate how dope the wines we tasted are.  This is your wake up call to taste a lot more Eastern Mediterranean wines, like basically ASAP.  Specifically, probably snag some Mersel Wine.////LIST////

We made really terrible wine with one of our favorite natural wine writers, Katherine Clary. We used the brewsy kit and holy shit is it bad. Don’t use it, wine actually comes from the earth not a kit. Sorry to be a jerk about it. Katherine is great though. Please purchase Wine Unfiltered, subscribe to the Wine Zine, and support local farmers. Duh.

The end of an era! To finish off our series, we investigate the biggest flaw of all, capitalism, with our host dads aka wine menaces to society, the boys from Disgorgeous. We go up, down, all around, a little bit of Monica, a lot about feelings, and obviously about how wine’s human effects can be catalysts for good change.

we drank:
19 Crimes Rosé
19 Crimes Cali Red
Barefoot Bubbly Sweet Rosé
Bartenura Moscato d’Asti
Dark Horse Pinot Grigio
Myx Moscato & Peach
Myx Moscato & Grape

Hey guys, it's Kevin here. John is busy taking a "Gentleman's Intermission" in Mexico to mourn the aging of his gross body, so I'm in charge now, baby. This week, we're doing Heat, and I don't mean the Michael Mann movie. This is a surprisingly smart episode by two of America's most hung over wine critics. Thankfully they're joined by king of the zine and the smartest person in wine, Miguel. It's a fitting finally to one of our most fun seasons yet. Don't forget to rate and review, buy our merch, and join our patreon.

Eric Moorer of Domestique wine in DC  came to talk about rocks, and boy did we realize, accidentally, that we were almost talking about *terroir.* Luckily, we are always capable of getting dumber (and how!), so what we did talk about is mostly insane.  Eric is an absolute gem and came to NYC to visit us, so I guess we have to go to DC now and get drunk and tell those clowns in congress how we really feel? Please go to and shop at Domestique, it's an incredible store, and if you tell Eric that Disgorgeous sent you, he'll show you a picture of Yuma. ////LIST///

Don't worry, we explained to esteemed wine critic Talia Baiocchi, founder of Punch Magazine that Prince Sidon is the sexiest fish on earth. Okay? Are you happy? We had one chance to seem normal and we really blew it. As always, the wines don't make up for us being idiots but they come really close. This season is batting 1000% so far, even if all we want to do is talk about chillwave (again.) Please buy Talia's books and read Punch Magazine.  ////LIST////
