The boys are joined by Riley from Trash Future, a podcast which has, sadly, predicted all the most terrible things that have happened to discuss being a fancy boy whomst loves to do socialism, and more importantly, to offer some steps to reconcile radical politics with loving fancy wines and snacks. We also learn some dark secrets about French basements and the Oxford wine club, and hear rumors of...

Hi guys, this one is a FUCKING DOOZY. The boys have been locked up for over 2 weeks now, and they're completely insane, and not in the fun sort of jokey way. Stay tuned for bursts of absolutely incoherent earnestness, jokes that don't land, wild laughter and reviews of two wildly delicious wines. Marchifornia may have gotten sidetracked by the world ending, but we promise we'll come...

It's the first post Corona quarantine episode and both your boys have beards AND anxiety now. How wonderful, right? They have turned their keen analytical minds to the question of west coast cider, going absolutely buck wild on a care package from Scar of the Sea's Mikey Giugni. This is one of the darkest episodes and so, uh, probably donate to local restaurants, get takeout or wine, and...

The boys are joined by Joseph Ryan from Ernest Vineyards in the not yet created West Sonoma appellation, which, frankly, will rule. Get ready for a deep dive into what makes an appellation, slightly morbid dick jokes, and a snapshot of what the world was like literally right before the corona virus ruined everything. This was one of the most eye-opening episodes yet and we're jazzed as hell t...

The boys return for the first episode post the 100 ep milestone and they've brought along their good friend Ian Brand, to make cryptic dad rock references, trigger Duck and chug Mourvedre. There was A LOT of discussion on the episode title, and we're all really sorry that "COVID-19's Mourvedrophosis" didn't make the cut, nor did "Lessvedre," but if you have...

100 episodes is roughly 4.87 days of content (back of the envelope). Jesus christ, this joke has gone on long enough.  Thank you to the fans, all of whom are perfect angels and we stan you and we will die 4 u. The boys drink wine bottles that cost 100 dollars and have a bit of a brain meltdown and post cringe. ///LIST/// Weingut Knoll, Wachau Smaragd Reisling, 'Reid Schutt Dursteiner,' 2...

The boys do their first of many burgundy episodes, as befits America’s most beloved wine critics. They pick two little selections from the Cote de Beaune, and do what they do best. I hope you planned to compare French and Incan inheritance law today and to totally shit on Mike Bloomberg, because that’s what’s on the menu.  Also, a very spirited discussion of what, exactly, “Burgundy” *means.* Plea...

The boys are joined by Zwann Grays of Olmsted to discuss Malvasia, a "grape" from "Europe." Wake up sheeple, it's not real -- it's a damn illusion and luckily your fave squad is on the case. This is a fantastic episode if you're into epistemology or chain restaurants that we all want to eat at, or if you want to hear Kevin really relish the phrase "Drown in...

The boys welcome world-famous coffee Q grader Erika Vonie to talk about coffee. That's right, no one is doing ANY central nervous system depressants this ep, instead, we lose our mind on caffeine,  which is way fucking worse, in terms of doing conversations. Get prepared to hear *AGAIN* about Kevin's damn honeymoon, things that make Duck mad, and most importantly, how wine people can loo...

This is the best episode we've ever done. // LIST/// Valerie Tissot, Cremant du Jura NV// Les Bottes Rouge, "Ouf" Pet-Nat, 2018//   Support the show

The boys re-re-invite James Sligh to discuss red wine from the Jura. If you like discussing the habits of the fey, dinosaurs, aquatic jurassic life, and things that make podcasters mad, please enjoy this episode. This is officially also our pinot noir Stan episode, sorry to the rest. Please go take James’ classes at Compagnie des Vins Surnaturels in NYC, follow him on instagram, and buy all of his...

Damn 2019 sucked huh? Good thing it's smooth sailing ahead for 2020!!!!! The boys discuss the upcoming proposed tariffs and worry about their future. If you're an economist, Kevin wants you to tell us what's up. Duck would prefer you to know that there is no such thing as "the economy." This episode has very strong depression energy. Love you all, see you in 2020. Don&apos...

 The boys are joined by Front of House Pod (@fohpod), Kelly Sullivan and Lilliane Devane to discuss Prosecco AKA Becky bubbles.  Not sure if we get to the ‘fundo’ of a V maligned appellation, but boy do we have a grand old time discussing our various brain disorders, how podcasts get made, working on holidays, and, of course, astrology. We are so impressed we got them on the pod — they are basical...

The boys are joined by Birk O'Halloran of Iconic Wines and Rockwell Vermouth to discuss Irish things, Spanish drinks, and vermouth, which is great, wow go buy some. Hope you're ready to learn a LOT about Moses, because there's an uncomfortable 8 minute tirade where you're forced to. Stay tuned for the thrilling conclusion when the trio plays "will it negroni," and &qu...

{Content Warning: Sexual Assault} It’s a very special mic takeover by Jirka Jireh, Sarah Fernandez, Claudia Leung and Miguel de Leon to discuss Julia Moskin’s article in the New York times about Anthony Cailan and the culture of sexual assault in the natural wine community. It’s v good content and almost makes up for that “hey” nonsense from last week. Please listen to women and use your privilege...

Finally, the boys get to have an episode without guests or experts, just living for the moment and vibing. The theme came when they were drunk, but I guess it’s wine that reminds them of the film “how to train your dragon,” which neither watched.  Of course, this means high VA wine from Italy and no cuts. Sponsor us, Dreamworks. Come to Niche Niche Tuesday Dec 3 and 21 Greenpoint January 20 for a...

The boys are joined by Mike Lucia of Rootdown to discuss white mutations of popular red wines. A lot of that got cut, however, as our hangover brains were nourished with life-giving alcohol and a new topic emerged. “What if…” we thought, “we asked… our guest… about himself?” The answer is, we actually have a v interesting conversation about the mechanics of California AVAs. Please join us on what...

Listen up bucko, there is no way you are going to get out of this having learned about the terroir of Franciacorta.  You’re going to have to do that on your own, because the boys gleefully spent about 45 minutes derailing guest Chris Struck’s attempted monologue about it. Instead, you’re going to hear three powerful wine divos in the prime of the power and influence get absolutely out of their min...

BONJOUR les binches! Les mecs are joined by Etienne Calsac, the Avize Assassin to discuss french primary schools, secondary fermentation, and tertiary syphilis. It's a very vinous episode in the sense that its thicc and complex, but not in the sense that we discuss too much about wine. Instead, we drink a bunch of different bubbles from around the world and discuss how all cops, around the wo...

The boys are joined by Mike Roth of Lo-Fi Wines to finally pierce the veil and drink Cabernet franc. The boys are so hungover, honestly, this was a mistake.  Luckily Mike knows a ton about sustainability, organics, theology and elephant seals. Kevin made one single square of pizza for everyone and Duck has self loathing. Please buy Mike’s wines early and often, and consider getting some of our mer...

Listen, before you get mad… have you considered that we’re baby? MICRO EP ft two insanely nervous boys discussing their wines before a sold out dinner at vinegar hill house . What fun it was. Everyone who WAS there got a secret extra 3 hours of content and hot takes, so like, next time come to our events?? Also, please note that this was supposed to be longer but some olds tried to eat dinner and...

The boys are joined by Brooklyn Beer’s Brewmaster and bestselling author Garret Oliver to discuss the intersection between wine (bad) and beer (cool, good, fun). Everyone’s munching on ciabatta and ricotta, so this is a long episode with a lot of digressions — expect some cool chatter about socialist beer movements, ancient grains, Duck having bad beer opinions, and Kevin namedropping all the cool...
