This week on What We’re Drinking, things get Philly, funky, and downright fantastic as Dan sits down with his old friend Garrett “G Love” Dutton, frontman of the legendary G Love & Special Sauce. It’s a reunion decades in the making, and the conversation hits all the sweet spots: the early days, the grind, the gigs, and the weird, wonderful road that took a couple of scrappy East Coast kids into the big wide world. G Love opens up about his long, genre-bending musical career, what keeps him inspired after all these years, and how he’s found a whole new artistic groove with his vibrant paintings. And because the man never stops creating, we crack into his latest venture — his very own wine label — and talk about how a blues-soaked musician ends up bottling something that’s surprisingly soulful in its own right.

Then it’s time for our beloved segment, “History at Work and in the Making,” proudly sponsored by Warbringer Big Cockerel Aguardiente, where we shine a long-overdue spotlight on the true unsung heroes of whiskey: the women who kept the spirit alive while the men were out there doing their level best to screw it all up. Dan pays tribute, raises a glass, and learns a thing or two along the way. And speaking of learning, Dan also reveals the many lessons whiskey has taught him over the years. Some profound, some ridiculous, all very on brand.
