Listen Later

A podcast for lovers of wine, beer, liquor (incl. whisky, whiskey, bourbon, gin, vodka, tequila etc) and cocktails, Drinks Adventures hosts wine makers, brewing and distilling experts, sommeliers, bartenders & more.
Tool, A Perfect Circle and Puscifer frontman Maynard James Keenan joins us to discuss the winemaking career he's had in parallel over the last 17 years.
Maynard founded Arizona, USA wine company Caduceus Cellars and its affiliated label Merkin Vineyards in 2004.
We spoke a little while ago now – on the eve of Joe Biden's inauguration as President.

It's a wide-ranging interview in which Maynard shares with you some of the winemaking projects currently exciting him at Caduceus, as well as his recent forays into making mead and cider.
He gives you an overview of wine in Arizona, where the industry is still in its infancy but showing a lot of potential with its expressions of Mediterranean grape varieties.
Maynard reveals how he cut his teeth on Australian wine and became a huge fan of Penfolds, which you previously heard featured on this show back in Season One.
We talk about the untimely passing last year of Maynard's close friend, the hugely respected Adelaide Hills winemaker, Taras Ochota, who Maynard cites as his biggest influence in recent years.
And, if you stick around to the end, Maynard updates you on Puscifer and how he's has been coping during these strange times of the COVID-19 pandemic.
All tracks used in this episode are from the brilliant new Puscifer album, Existential Reckoning, released in October 2020.
Thanks to Maynard for giving us the nod to use them in this episode.
Oh, and beware, there is a language warning on some of these tunes.
