Dr. Edward Slingerland, author of Drunk:  How We Sipped, Danced, and Stumbled our Way to Civilization explains, rather patiently, how drinking is, actually, good and makes the case for slightly restrained hedonism. His book, which is out now and purchasable, is almost certainly required reading for anyone working or thinking about booze, especially in an age of moralization and anxiety over drinking. Buy the book, guys.

The idea of this season is what if Burgundy never existed. Kevin eats half an edible and explains the concept to John.

The boys messed up the recording of this one so the first 15 minutes sound kinda weird sorry.

This is Kevin.

They drank a Berthout-Gerbet Fixin. 

This season is going to be so, so good.

Tira Johnson returns to talk about the Adriatic Sea, pink wine, octopuses, and that space where the ocean meets the sky <3. Truly, my heart aches with how good these wines are, I know this is a comedy podcast, but literally every single one made me want to punch a hole in the table. This mediterranean rosé thing is literally the best idea we've had so far, and you should, literally, make drinking wines like this your priority for the rest of the summer.

James aka Mr. Too Damn Children's Atlas himself came over on probably the hottest day of the year to whip us into shape RE: The Eastern Mediterranean and Aegean regions, rosés, and Phoenicians. Spoiler alert: We really push the definition of what a rosé can be by, like, wine #3. This is going to be such a cool season. Please, please, please, seek out wine from here and drink it. The more we do, the more we'll see and then hopefully we can send Duck to do journalism in Izmir or something. ////LIST////

Perry Conner and Peter Szilagyi hijacked the pod to explain that actually, N/A Coors is the best beer, Hybrid Grapes make the best wine,  and that Virginia isn't just for lovers, it's also for serious wine. This is kind of like #girldinner for your brain, ok? Just have fun with it. DM Perry and Peter all the time, buy their wine, support local projects and insist on having fucking fun drinking wine sometimes ok?  ////LIST////

Kevin knocked this episode title out of the park, for real. This is, as always for the first episode of a season,  a reminder of how dumb and silly we are without our gorgeous genius guests. Welcome to our Mediterranean Rosé season. Strangely enough, our first episode is about pink wine from the north. Just go with it - we wanted to chat about rosé without burning any of the vvvv special wines we got for the season. We are so excited to spend the rest of the summer on this.  Full list for season going up on Patreon. GIRD THYSELF //// LIST ////

Read Jirka's article on Punch: it is the bible for this shit. Jirka came to chat about cider / wine coferments, the future of everything, and to not laugh at our dumb jokes. She's the best. This is the end of cider season, but it does continue for a few more eps on the PATREON.... ////LIST////
