You're Gonna Need a Bigger Bottle episodes:

April 02, 20216: Parasite / Fabrice Gasnier La Cravantine
(This episode contains spoilers for the plot of PARASITE. There, you’ve been warned.)

Ever wonder what “disgorgement” means? Has anyone ever made a grandiose claim like “he’s a master of genre” before? Did either of those things make you confused? We’re going to take a crack at those concepts and more as we decant the parallels between a family drama with notes of thriller, horror, and comedy, and a sparkling rosé that is far more austere than anyone might expect.
PARASITE (2019) is directed by Bong Joon-ho and is streaming on Hulu and available to rent on VOD platforms as of this episode’s release.
The Domaine Fabrice Gasnier ‘La Cravantine’ Sparkling Cabernet Franc is available at Moore Brothers Wine Company for $23 plus shipping.

March 05, 20214: Swiss Army Man / Castello di Verduno ‘Basadone' Pelaverga
How well does this somm darling grape pair with a buddy comedy about a farting, reanimated corpse and his suicidal best friend? Has Scott figured out what a “sweet” wine is yet? Will Jamie finally win our flavor notes game? Is a champagne cork the right stopper for your undead friend’s flatulent butt? Only one way to find out, folks.

February 19, 20213: Aquaman / Denny Bini Festa Lambrusco
This week we’re defending extremely popular things that have less-than-stellar reputations. Scott vouches for a billion dollar mega-hit that skeptics wrote off as bad and stupid (it isn’t bad). Jamie pairs that with a bubbly red that’s just starting to shake off the bad rap of a cheap, gross boomer favorite.
AQUAMAN is currently available to stream on HBO Max and VOD.
Denny Bini Festa Lambrusco is available www.crushwineco.com for 17.99 plus shipping.

Intro and Outro music is selected from Camille Saint-Saëns’ ‘The Carnival of the Animals - XII. Fossils’ as performed by the Seattle Youth Symphony licensed under Creative Commons (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/legalcode)

February 05, 2021 2: DICK JOHNSON IS DEAD / Julian Haart 1000L Reisling
EPISODE TWO

TW: This episode deals with parental death and the grieving process.

Scott attempts to make Jamie weep on mic by choosing this wonderfully painful documentary. Does Riesling lift spirits? Duh. Pro-tip: Riesling pairs perfectly with a good cry. Also with documentaries exploring death and parental relationships.

DICK JOHNSON IS DEAD, directed by Kirsten Johnson, is available on Netflix. Julian Haart 1000L Riesling was purchased for $21.99 from Crush Wine Co. It is now out of stock due to extreme deliciousness. Try Peter Lauer's 'Barrel X' Riesling available for $23 at Verve Wine, in store or shipped!

January 21, 2021 1: Marriage Story / Caprai Montefalco Rosso 2016
EPISODE ONE

We’re kicking off the pod with Noah Baumbach’s MARRIAGE STORY and the Caprai Montefalco Rosso 2016. What does noted philistine Jamie think of Scott’s favorite movie of 2019? Will Scott’s unrefined palette detect anything other than “red wine flavor”? Do we honor our half-hearted promise* to give spoiler warnings? Does this divorce story hurt the teeth the same way as this tannic wine? Only one way to find out, dear listener!

*Spoilers: No. No we do not.

MARRIAGE STORY is available on Netflix. Caprai Montefalco Rosso is available from Crush Wine & Spirits for $17.99 + shipping.

Intro and Outro music is selected from Camille Saint-Saëns’ ‘The Carnival of the Animals - XII. Fossils’ as performed by the Seattle Youth Symphony licensed under Creative Commons (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/legalcode)
