America's number 1 Phish fanatic Tira Johnson came on to talk shit about her least favorite varieties. Too bad the wines accidentally whipped, like they were criminally tasty, so I guess these grapes are good, actually??? Anyhow, this is the part of the season where we reveal that actually the whole point of this was to talk about California and our own burning love and befuddlement with the place. Whoops! Now you have the key to unlock it. Go visit Tira at Ilis and demand a glass full of something Californian. ////LIST//// Isa Wines, Santa Cruz Mtn, "You're a Dream," 2022// Matthiasson, Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, 2019 //// Support the Show.

The bit is that our guest picks the wine for the episode this season. One cab sauv, one sauv blanc. This is not exactly what happened with our esteemed guest, Amanda Smeltz, the inventor of hot honey, but we had a really good time doing conpersion and loving without limits.

It's the last main feed episode of Austro Thirsty Empire (WINE CLUB MEMBERS... YOU GET A SECRET EPISODE NEXT WEEK, and Patreons there's a few more interviews bopping around) so we thought we'd bring in the BIG guns: Welcome Emily Gutiérrez, possibly NYC's best Central and Eastern European sommelier to the pod. We're talking English Royalty, unveiling new bits, purring, slaying, and contextualizing the shit out of the various Hungarian bits and bobs on the edge of the empire. Full disclosure -- Duck was really worried the wines weren't going to be good, and it actually turned out to be the best lineup of the whole season, so what the fuck does he know. Stalk Emily on instagram @SKANK.OCEAN and go listen to here at One Fifth NYC. ////LIST//// Edgar Brutler, Crisana (Romania), ‘Sisu,’ 2021// Marvla Tindo, Sitno Slovakia, ‘Sedimental #4,’ NV // David Kušicky, Stredoslovenska (Slovakia), ‘Serotonin,’ 2022// Filip, Tokaji Hárslevelü, 2020// Berecz Stéphanie, Tokaji Hárslevelü, ‘Kikelet,’ 2021///// Support the Show.

hey, It's Kevin. It's John's birthday and he's in Paris or Rome or something, so here I am, in charge of talking to you about this episode. What a good one! I love when James is on cause I know for a fact I'm the dumbest one in the room. For reference: We were sitting in a triangle shape, I was lounging on the couch and the boys were both at the nerd table. This is optimal Podcasting power for me, as I can better be in control of General Vibes this way, which is basically my primary function when John and James are doing nerd stuff. The premise of this episode was to get as close to the water as possible, so this basically is an overlap with the Adriatic episode of John's Rosé season. There is some fun here and also some headscratchers. For the record, the one I thought was corked was corked and everyone admitted it later. Fuck those guys, I'm the smart one. Thanks for listening and all that. We love you. Support the Show.

****THE DEADLINE FOR THE WINE CLUB IS FEBRUARY 29 PLEASE SECURE YOUR V. LIMITED SPOTS @ copakewineworks.com/disgorgeous******** It finally snowed in NYC and things got weird, but we finally got the Hudson Valley's best Sommelier and General Manager of Homespun Cafe, Heather Barr on to talk about the "cold" part of the Austro Hungarian Empire, Czech wine legends, extra senses that people might have, and eating on the mic. Huge thanks to big sturg for hopping in, fuck winter we hate winter it's time for sun. Go to homespun and drink 2 bottles of wine and have the fries that's an order. ////LIST/// Milan Nestarec, Morovia (Czech), ’Transcendent,’ 2020 // Korab, Morovia (Czech), ‘Orange on Leaves,’ 2021 // Dva Duby, Morovia (Czech), ‘Ex Opere Operato II,’ 2018 // Nibiru, Kamptal (Austria), ‘Der Paradeiser,’ 2018 //// Support the Show.

*** THE LAST DAY TO SIGN UP FOR DISGORGEOUS WINE CLUB IS FEB 29 PLEASE DO SO @ Copakewineworks.com/disgorgeous **** Hey all! This is what the bonus episodes on the Patreon are like, but there's no way we're gatekeeping this one. Sari Khoury is the winemaker behind the stellar Philokalia wines in the Occupied West Bank, and John was lucky enough to snag a long interview about winemaking under occupation, artistry, different kinds of resistance, cultural memory and the legacy of Islam on European wine culture. Sari, in addition to being wildly smart, is one of the most compelling winemakers we've had the pleasure to taste, so, uh seek out his wines whenever and wherever you can. Also, and this is just our opinion : Keep fucking talking about Palestine and pressure everyone you can to end this genocide.

Kevin is on vacation so Big Sturge stepped up for a v fun chat with Ethan Risinger, King Country mouse about Piwi grapes in the Dolomites and Styria. Duck is literally terrified the entire time, so this is officially off the rails from the get go, but actually ends up getting, dare I say, poignant. Cutting edge wine from some of the best terroirs in Europe? Sounds like, uh, you dorks should be paying attention :) ////LIST//// Herrenhof Lamprecht, Styria (Austria) Gemischter Satz, ‘Buchertberg,’ 2019// Grawü, Mitterberg (Italy), ‘Ambra,’ 2020// Ploder-Rosenberg, Styria (Austria), ‘Vivas,’ 2019// Josef Totter, Styria (Austria), ‘Laurenz,’ 2020// Valentan, Stajerksa (Slovenia ), ‘Rainbow,’ 2021//// Support the Show.

Sarah Favinger, bassist and wine buyer to the stars joins the boys to discuss the white hot border between Ottoman civility and Hapsburg barbarity. To be incredibly honest, this is probably the most insane we've sounded in years -- sorry Sarah! Hard to overstate how good all these wines were --wines to treasure rather than slam down while doing big depressions, so uh, do as we say and not as we do. Go see Sarah at Smith and Vine or playing in the orchestra at Five:The Parody Musical off-Broadway. Please, as alway, secure your spot in the Disgorgeous wine club -- due date is Feb 28 2024. ////LIST//// Maurer, Subotica (Serbia) Olaszriling, ‘Fodor,’ 2020// Kolonia 52, Balaton (Hungary) Furmint, 2022// Sziegl Pince, Hajós - Bajai OEM, ‘Bábel,’ 2021// Basa, Serbian Pinot Gris, ‘Jantar,’ 2019 // Monastery Tvrdos, Herzegovina Region (Bosnia and Herzegovina) Vranac, 2018//// Support the Show.

I can't explain it right now, but you need to trust me Trust the plan where we go one we go all. Brittany Myrick came on this episode and basically burned down the studio by being so fucking cool. Don't crucify your kids, folks, but do give them some incredible Pannonian wines, because this is basically the easiest to love wine region on earth full of crush worthy winemakers, many of whom you can drink at Lise and Vito, which is such a sexy little bar that you need to go to right now ok? ////LIST//// Naboso, Wine of Slovenia, 'Doma,' 2019// Abeles, Balaton (Hungary), 'Rose,' 2021// Claus Preisinger, Burgenland (Austria), 'Bonsai,' 2021 (Claus if you're reading this you can DM me at irl_john_Mccarroll // Franz Weninger, European Wine (Grapes from Hungary and Austria), 'Ponzichter,' 2021// Rennersistas, Burgenland (Austria), 'Zweigelt,' 2017//// Support the Show.

Daryl Nuhn, proprietress of Prima and also recent knitting maven, joins the boys to pronounce some truly batshit words like a champion, and also to discuss volcanic wines from the countryside around Budapest. Duck's mental health crisis takes a downward turn, Kevin just keeps swimming, and the wines all truly, deeply, madly go OFF. I know this is going to sound like a broken record, but seek out Central European white wines before all the jerks make them $50. Also, PLEASE JOIN OUR WINE CLUB!!!!!!!

This is the biggest season we've ever done, and we're really giving it the gravitas it deserves. Sorry for all the Hapsburgs stans, but those weirdos are getting ethered all praise due to Hot Ottoman Crush Suleiman the Magnificent.

GOAT Guest Christy Frank brought us English wine because people keep DMing Duck and wouldn't you know it? They are all bangers (Not in the English sense [they aren't sausage!] but in the American way, where it means they SLAYYYYYyy).
