*please note: it is NOT illegal for women to do pigeage in France. It’s rather against custom and considered impure. I regret offending any of our French listeners, but also, not really that much to be honest.*


Wow, Beaujolais! WHAT A TREAT TO ENJOY WITH YOUR FRIENDS.  Duck and his two amigos get real, finally, while drinking some good and some not good bojo. The theme song is something I'm really proud of, please support our guests at Glou Glou Magazine. ////LIST////

John welcomes to the pod Joseph Bohling, author of the Sober Revolution: Appellation Wine and the Transformation of France, and James Sligh, author of the upcoming Children's Atlas of Wine, to talk about the very modern roots of the idea of the French AOC system. I think this is the first time we've allowed John to say "neoliberalism" on the pod, and boy does he go fucking apeshit. This is firmly within the ranks of "you might learn something" episode, but also, we all got wasted, so best of both worlds. Please attend Joseph's classes at Portland State University and buy his book on kindle and please drink with James via chambers street wines. Also, big shout out to our delivery homies at bespoke social club. Take a wine class with them too?  Big thanks to our UK wine goddess Elizabeth Brauders for sending us the Bellet. DM her respectfully. ////LIST////

Kevin, are you reading this? I miss you. Dms open man.

Paternity Leave episode one, Duck is joined by Miguel and Rafa to discuss Rum. Unfortunately, it's an all bad boy episode, so there is a lot of time in the weeds discussing Tiki cocktails, colonialism and genocide, why museums suck, 9/11 and a weird dream duck had. It's a wild ride, pour yourself some rum.

Please note - this is the first episode Duck has ever edited by himself. Please excuse anything being rough. Good thing there's not many cuts ;) ////LIST////

In a very special episode, the boys enlist the help of old pal Jesse Shapell to wrap up this Summer's "Postcards from Italy" season in a bright Sangiovese-colored bow. Kevin prepares to become a Dad, and John hides in a closet. Kevin would like to thank everyone for their support as he begins his paternity leave, and apologizes for leaving you alone with Duck for so long. He promises to rush back, and in the meantime, you are probably in good hands. Probably. .// LIST///

The boys are joined by sommelier Kenneth Crum to discuss Campania, which absolutely deserved like 3 episodes. File this episode under "you might learn something" because holy shit do these wines kick ass. Duck DOES accuse one of the producers of child sacrifice, but we're pretty sure that's just a joke and absolutely not legally actionable. Bottom line - listen to Kenneth when he tells you not to sleep on a wine region, and follow him at his adventures making wine in California and beyond. ////List////

We have completely unraveled. The boys discuss Corsica, which, of course, is a French Island that Italy has no legal claim to. They both think it counts and it's not sure why. If you wanted to hear anti white propoganda and about the weirdest trip to victoria's secret Duck has ever had, this is your episode. We love you all for being our therapists. ////LIST////

This week's Italian episode has been postponed due to FedEx related delivery mishap, and will drop next Monday.

For now, we are unlocking an episode of The Crush Pad, our patreon-exclusive feed of bonus episodes. These episodes are typically much shorter (30-45 minutes) and address broader wine related topics or specific pieces of wine journalism. We hope you enjoy, and if you want more, please subscribe to the patreon.

The Crush Pad Episode 10: 12 Angry Wines
The boys have a late night jam sesh and spit about slave labor in wine (Jesus Christ, 2020 fucking sucks) and a new horrible natural wine article that gets literal basic facts about wine completely wrong, and try to decide if its the fault of the author, the editor, the journalism industrial complex, or capitalism itself (hint: its always capitalism).

Thank you and welcome to our newest Patreon members, we appreciate everything about you including how good you look in that piece of clothing you really like.
