Alicia Kennedy is, frankly, a must follow and must read for anyone who believes in food and drink. Sorry, not sorry, she is a guiding light right now and her book No Meat Required is STAGGERINGLY good. She came on the pod to discuss bivalves, the socialism of nice things, wine, vegetarianism and what people think food books need to be.  Truly incredible interview, also, her substack is REQUIRED READING

The man, the myth, the legend. We are so pleased to have one of our favorite winemakers, Roberto Henriquez, sit down with us for an hour and talk about Chile, French people in Chile, Pais, and more. It should be known that Roberto gave Yuma so many pets and she really appreciated it. 

Our season on Pinot Noir will continue next week!  ////LIST////

Pinot leaves France and voyages out into the rest of the EU to find herself. But can she ever really escape her past? 

Libby is wicked smart, and a good at singing.  We start with some musical theatre chat so you know this episode is gonna be a banger, like a classic Stanley Kubrick movie, you'll be at the edge of your seat. Something about birds.

Kevin again. Here we are, in a very special Kevin season, and John is too busy getting drunk in Montreal to write anything here.

An Auvergne, a Jura, and an Alsatian walk into a pinot.... you won't believe what happens next.

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.
