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////
