We recorded this a month ago with fan favorites Emily Schultz and Jesse Shapell. This is probably the giggliest episode in a long time, as we all struggle to discuss wines from the Northeast while also trying to shoehorn Jewish mysticism in and mostly just have a really good time drinking mostly hybrids. This season is all about having fun and being Thankful for being cool. We love you. ////LIST////

Sara and Jennifer from Little Trouble Wine Co join the boys to discuss the maxim it takes a lot of bad beers to make good wines. If you ever wanted a semi-definitive rating of gas station beers, well, fuck, you're in luck. Even more fun, we play a lot of games this week, so get ready to learn a lot about horses. Luckily, the bad beers have worked: Little Trouble's wines are dope and probably will be available wherever you are for like, 10 minutes at most. Get some. ////LIST////

The boys are joined by Taylor Stember and Lynne Fahy from Keuka Spring and Anthony Road to discuss winemaking in the Finger Lakes, the future of blaufrankish and being the future of winemaking in America. Ditching the shadow of big riesling is hard, but holy shit the wines were singing, helping make the case that the FLX are the most overlooked wine region in America. Drink wine from there you fucking dorks.

COME SEE US AT NICHE NICHE OCTOBER 21 and WILD WORLD NOVEMBER 1!!!!!!!

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.
