The boys go over their top ten lists, get weirdly nostalgic, and drink unicorn wines. What's that in their voices??? Is it ... Hope?

Fred Duhme, the founder of Austria's Female Wine Collective sat down with dumb ol' John to discuss empowering women in the Austrian wine scene, the pervasiveness of old boys clubs, and to besmirch the French. Fred is a treasure and her work is deeply cool and necessary, so keep giving her awards and shit, but also make sure you listen to her. ////LIST////

Recorded at a very chic location in midtown Manhattan, and everyone is LOVING it. The boys welcome Bianca Sanon, superstar sommelier and new distro goddess to discuss rocks. That's it, that's the bit folks. With just a tiny scaffolding like that, podcast greatness can emerge. It's really, honestly, heartening and beautiful, especially because this episode is fun. ////LIST////

I cried 3 times interviewing Claudine and Michelle from Heya Wines, who are making truly gorgeous wines in the North of Lebanon and supporting communities of women and children displaced by the Syrian Civil war.  You should seek out their wines, imported by the wonderful Terra Sancta Wine Imports.

At this moment, US weaponry is being used by Israel in a campaign of terrorism across Lebanon as well as in the Gaza Strip in Palestine, where the conditions verge on genocidal. Death is incredibly close throughout the country, adding another layer of precarity to the already fraught harvest season. Your tax dollars are doing this and not going to fix any of the problems that you and I would like to see fixed. This will not end without the United States developing a conscience, and you should feel absolutely comfortable using your vote and your voice as a tool to force this.

Please if you are in the United States, take a moment to remind your elected officials that this is unacceptable -- the executive branch could stop this with one phone call. 

If you are able to, please donate to the following organizations --

Please buy Jennifer's book, imperial wine, which is the wildly interesting take on the invention of the new world in wine. When all of you jerks write your wine books, I will yell at you for not citing it. Jennifer, also, is incredibly funny and cool and this was one of the most fun interviews I've done yet, so, like, please buy the book and demand it from all your favorite stores.
