Episode 291: Rhône-in on the River 4: The Delta of Genius03 Sep 202400:53:24

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////

Episode 290: Rhône-in' on the River 3: Put the South in Your Mouth ft. Todd Cavallo of Wild Arc Farm27 Aug 202401:14:26

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////

Episode 282: The Many Saints of Iberia: St. James the Greater ft. Rafa Garcia Febles09 Jun 202401:18:16

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////

Get ready for an insane conversation about the vibes in Piedmont and like the general outlines of the new season.

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.

Episode 195: Catalonia: Breath of the Wild part 5: Heat (ft Miguel De Leon)07 Mar 202201:11:58

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.

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///

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////

Episode 189: Savoie Faire Part 5: Isere Anybody Out There?10 Jan 202201:10:58

Each hermit, a monk who is or who will be a priest, has his own living space, called a cell, usually consisting of a small dwelling. Traditionally there is a one-room lower floor for the storage of wood for a stove and a workshop as all monks engage in some manual labour. A second floor consists of a small entryway with an image of the Virgin Mary as a place of prayer and a larger room containing a bed, a table for eating meals, a desk for study, a choir stall, and a kneeler for prayer. Each cell has a high walled garden wherein the monk may meditate as well as grow flowers for himself and/or vegetables for the common good of the community, as a form of physical exercise.[12]

Next to the door is a small revolving compartment, called a "turn", so that meals and other items may be passed in and out of the cell without the hermit having to meet the bearer. Most meals are provided in this manner, which the hermit then eats in the solitude of his cell. There are two meals provided for much of the year: lunch and supper. During seasons or days of fasting, just one meal is provided. The hermit makes his needs known to the lay brother by means of a note, requesting items such as a fresh loaf of bread, which will be kept in the cell for eating with several meals. Carthusians observe a perpetual abstinence from meat.[10]

The hermit spends most of his day in the cell: he meditates, prays the minor hours of the Liturgy of the Hours on his own, eats, studies and writes, and works in his garden or at some manual trade. Unless required by other duties, the Carthusian hermit leaves his cell daily only for three prayer services in the monastery chapel, including the community Mass, and occasionally for conferences with his superior. Additionally, once a week, the community members take a long walk in the countryside during which they may speak. On Sundays and solemn feast days a community meal is taken in silence.[6] Twice a year there is a day-long community recreation, and the monk may receive an annual visit from immediate family members ////LIST////

The boys are joined by sommelier extraordinaire Kenneth Crum to discuss Richard the Lionhearted, and, I guess, by extension, the DAC wines of Niederösterreich. It’s a heavy hitter episode as the boys try to pronounce a lot of valleys and castles and come to terms with a region that arguably led the charge for rebirth of Austrian winemaking post Antifreezegate.  If you’re desperate for more Kenneth content, please check out Niche Niche, which is immaculately curated good clean fun. Also, please do come to our Niche Niche event OCTOBER 21 2021, unless we have a gamma variant or whatever.

Episode 280: The Many Saints of Iberia: Portugal the Land21 May 202401:04:17

SOLO BAD BOYS EP: Welcome to our Portugal season about the cults of saints in Iberia, which I'm sure is exactly what you all wanted. This is explained in the episode, along with why it took us so long to do Portugal and, like, a general outline of how we feel going into this season. It's pretty spooky doing new stuff, but don't worry, we're sneaking Spanish and Catalan wines in each episode to make sure everything is contextualized and to emphasize regional connections, which is apparently, Duck's dumb bullshit thesis.  Anyhow, this season is actually going to be very suitable for new listeners (finally), so TELL A FRIEND and consider pledging to our very fun patreon to hear 2 really good interviews a month. //// LIST////

Duck's on vacation so Kevin is gonna attempt to describe this one. It's our final episode of Loire-dew Valley, and we've got a heady episode to go out on. Our son Jesse Shappell is in person for this most-expensive episode. We discuss pyrazines, the ephemeral experience of wine made for its own sake , and the unbearable lightness of clos rougeard.

The boys re-step into the ring with Christy Frank but this time they are allowed to swear. I don't think we made the obvious jokes re: Pineau d'aunis, but duh, we were thinking them. The wines fucking rip and we weren't expecting that, which is a really pleasant surprise. You should probably go get some if you get a chance.  Thank you to all our new patreons. Also, uh, this is the first tease of Issue #3 of the zine. We're finishing it on our end and we'll start to bug you all about ordering, ok?
