Duck welcomes esteemed sommelier Amanda Smeltz and pioneering natural wine journalist Aaron Ayscough for a scintillating conversation obout the Beaujolais. Amanda and Aaron are basically the most interesting voices in natural wine right now, so it’s crazy we’re not charging you to listen to this. Please buy The World of Natural Wine at your local bookstore and subscribe to Aaron’s Substack (https://substack.com/profile/15653834-aaron-ayscough).

While you’re doing online things, buy Amanda’s book of poetry, Imperial Bender. (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0984496157?pf_rd_p=d1f45e03-8b73-4c9a-9beb-4819111bef9a&pf_rd_r=J6Y1SQQ60V41SF1F0KPD). 

Also, I guess, get ready for Issue 4 of the zine. ////LIST////
