It's the boys' harvest season and holy heck is it starting with a bang. Please welcome Megan Bell of Margins to discuss the economics of winemaking, what rosé means and how to make wine when you can't necessarily afford wine.  Megan's wines are incredible, but more importantly, she has so much to say about this silly little industry. Please buy your favorite winemakers' wines -- support the corners of this space you like.
ALSO: This week features a song from Libby Winters. It's Called "Terroir," and it's fucking great. Check out her bandcamp: https://lakestheband.bandcamp.com/track/terroir and don't forget to buy the damn zine - stockists are all at Disgorgeous.com

What is a co-ferment? The boys dig deep into the phenomenon. This was an unusually delicious episode and also, sort of a thinker. Drink a lot more fruit wine, stop believing in categories and get ready for a v weird future. ////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.

It’s the first episode of our new season and holy shit are we excited to talk about Vienna, a city we have clearly never been to, and also a v small and weird little wine appellation. If you haven’t seen ‘Amadeus,’ maybe don’t listen to this episode. If we mispronounced something that’s praxis. Holy shit we love Austrian wines. ////List////
