We're back and dumber than ever. Kevin decided this theme and it's perfect, but he was with his family and wasn't able to actually figure out how it should go, so I asked the two smartest people in wine, Pete and Emily, to help me figure it out. This is the first episode of our star wars blind tasting season and it is based off of the planet Mustafar, first (canonically!) seen in Revenge of the Sith, but heavily featured in various media since then, notably the Darth Vader (2022) comic run, which fucking whips. This will be the best season of Disgorgeous ever. Please buy Llewelyn wine and vote for Zohran Mamdani even if you don't live in NYC.  ////LIST////

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.

Four guys, 8 corrective lenses, one haunting meditation on mortality while drinking wine with the blokes. Check in on your mates folks. We love you. We should stop recording episodes during John's birthday month.

Hey guys, Kevin has his anniversary and I have my birthday today, so I'm uploading a talk I gave about a year ago that is the closest thing to a Disgorgeous Manifesto you'll get. Thanks to the New School's critical drinking squad for making me get this on paper, sorry I sound so nervous. I was a child last year!!!!!!!!  If you want more stuff that is accidentally serious, please consider subscribing to the Disgorgeous patreon and listening to our "Crush Pad" series of interviews.

This is about Baden, I guess, but to be honest we just had fun with Jonathan. Wines went crazy hard in the paint tho. You should have been there.

300 episodes is quite a milestone, luckily we forgot to talk about that because we recorded this on January 6th and we had to be a little silly ok? That's what being a patriot is all about. This is the first episode of our new high concept season: Westdeutschland, aber Riesling ist verboten - "Western Gemany, but Riesling is forbidden," where we discuss German Wines without the crutch of riesling. Weirdly enough, this episode is all about riesling, but it's the kind of thing that makes sense if you listen to it enough and also if you join the patreon.   ////LIST////

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