Feeling “ginspired” by the French Riviera? Tom Nichol and Matthieu Perrin sure were when they created the Gardener Gin, a bright, refreshing spirit with botanicals inspired by the beauty of France’s southern coast. The two of them sit down with Greg and Damon to talk about the genesis of this idea, working with a movie star (tune in to find out which one) and what color this particular spirit tastes like.
Plus: we’re not gonna talk about it. We are NOT going to talk about it.

Claire Marin started out the way all distillers do - by keeping bees. The founder of Pollinator Spirits sits down with the band to talk about her first forays upstate, the move from making honey to making rye whiskey, and what she looks for when making her own not-Campari Campari. She also discusses the role her company’s namesake - those busy bees - play in her work and in our world.
Plus, Greg was warned he couldn’t talk about politics, so everyone gets baseball instead. Greg breaks down a controversial piece of fan interference from the World Series for the less-sports inclined.

A few weeks ago the city of Asheville, North Carolina was hit by a devastating hurricane. Lives were lost and the damage topped $50 billion. Danny Boyer manages The Crow & Quill, just one of many bars impacted by Hurricane Helene, and he sits down with Greg to discuss the extent of the damage, how Asheville is pulling together as a community, and what you as a listener can do to help. Plus, the two of them wax poetic about Western NC’s favorite gas station/bar which apparently also moonlights as a music venue. It turns out there’s very little Asheville’s gas stations can’t do.

A collector’s set with a blanco, a reposado, and an añejo? Yeah, we’ve seen it before. A fragrance collector’s set with those three varieties? Now you’re talking! Joseph D. Solis of Maison Solis sits down with Greg and Damon to talk about growing up as a fragrance collector, moving from the beverage space to the fragrance space, and how he adapted the essences of three different tequilas into scents you can wear. The world of fragrances and the world of spirits are very similar processes, and yet adapting one to the other isn’t easy. Tune in to find out how it’s done and what sunset at golden hour in an agave field smells like!
Plus, Halloweekend Part 1 is upon us! Greg and Damon talk about their plans and costumes gone awry.

When it turned out everything he knew about Navy Rum was wrong, Alexandre Gabriel sailed out to set the record straight… and start making his own. The brains behind Maison Ferrand Cognac and Planteray Rum, Alexandre set about relearning everything he ever knew about this unique style of rum which resulted in a book - Exploring 300 Years of Royal Navy Rum & its Techniques - and Mister Fogg, a new bottling that bears the name of a real British navy veteran. Alexandre sits down with the band to talk about the journey, the knowledge, and the rum that is definitely rumming.

Get your ten-foot Home Depot skeleton out on the lawn because it’s Spooky season y’all! Megan Rickerson, the owner of Brooklyn’s Someday Bar joins the band live from Portland Cocktail Week to talk about her journey from host to bartender to bar owner and all the tears and joy that entails. Megan talks about forging bonds with local lawmakers, cultivating a devoted band of regulars and occasionally, turning her whole bar into a haunted house, like she did for this year’s Black Lagoon. It’s Serious and Spooky and all-together ooky! Plus, her and Damon are neighbors, so tune in to find out what that’s like.

Named for the first woman ever to head the bar program at London’s Savoy Hotel, the Ada Coleman project provides a resource to shed a spotlight on women in the bar industry. Co-founders Kristine Bocchino and Kaitlin Wilkes-Back sit down with the band to discuss their searchable database of women+ bar professionals, how they view the progress they’ve made and the road ahead, and how naughty the phrase “hanky panky” was in its time.
Plus, Greg’s back from Mexico. Tune in for a raucous discussion of which rocks more: agave plants or Metallica.

Baijiu is the world’s most popular spirit by volume, easily. And yet most Americans don’t know what it is. Derek Sandhaus is on a mission to change that by introducing Ming River Baijiu (pronounced bye-JYO) to us westerners. He sits down with the band to talk about his journey from publishing to distilling (typical) adapting this ancestral spirit for American audiences, what makes baijiu baijiu anyway, and how it’s traditionally consumed in its native China. Spoiler, you’re supposed to drink the entire thing at once.
Plus, it’s Negroni Week baby! The band unpacks the history of the drink and the week that bears its name, now in its 11th year and discusses exactly how far you can get from that original trifecta of gin, campari and sweet vermouth and still call your concoction “a negroni.”
