This month, Eddie tells a story from own his parish of Brosna in Co.Kerry about two cruiteacháns - local hunchbacks known as Ned Murt and Pat Mickey Seán. On a dark night, a chance meeting with the fairies and the ensuing singsong showed how na daoine uaisle have the ability to heal certain afflictions. But make sure you sing the song correctly, or…

The boys are joined by sommelier Etinosa Emokpae to discuss Ligurian wines, hand tattoos, erotic television, and mostly music from our youth. Honestly, we could have cut 45 minutes of this but we are in love with you. If you are in Philadelphia, please visit her at Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and if you aren't (and the pandemic is over) please go vis…

The boys are joined by Kilolo Strobert of Getting Comfy with Wine to talk about the Veneto, hot blooded Italian men, bagel controversies, and oddly enough, chardonnay. I guess this is the first actual "Italian" episode on this dumb season - and holy shit are all the wines rad. If you've been sleeping on the Veneto, wake the fuck up. We had a lot of…

The boys are joined by Sommelier Rafa Garcia Febles of le Crocodile to chat about dad rock, movies, the concept of nation states and, of course Alto Adige. It's a classic wild boys episode that is really going to test your tolerance for crocodile puns, extended metaphors and Amstel light propaganda. Please visit Rafa at Le Crocodile to have a socia…

The boys welcome Tira Johnson, one of America’s best and youngest sommeliers to discuss the Val D’Aoste, which we pronounce nearly 700 million different ways in this, the first episode of Season 10, which, may I remind you, is ACTUALLY ABOUT WINE AGAIN. It’s a rollicking discussion of Italy’s smallest wine region about the politics of cooperatives,…

Hellllllo new listeners! This is an example of what we normally do here, on Disgorgeous, the foremost social justice wine podcast of the end of the world. First episode with the boys in a while, and wouldn't you know it, they've forgotten how to do podcasts. A new season is announced after about half a bottle of wine, so I guess we're having a new …

Cures for illness, cures for animals, and cures for the fairies. As the stories show, you had to follow the cure's warning exactly, or else! See acast.com/privacy for privacy…

It should be noted that this episode was recorded two weeks ago, before the horrifying actions of our police state unfolded across North American this weekend. It's our hope that this light hearted chat, with the enormously charismatic and wonderful Grape Witches, could be consumed as a momentary respite from the horrors of the world around us, muc…

The boys are joined by the incandescent ladies of Front of House Pod to discuss the "future" of "restaurants," and to also drink a lot of wine very quickly and yell. This is full chaos mode kids, please understand the raw power unleashed. Technically we discuss wine a little too, but honestly, mostly tea. Please remember that what you miss about re…

I met a traveller from an antique land, Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand, Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mock…

The boys welcome Danielle Shehab, who is a really bad influence, to discuss wine, I guess. This one degenerated quickly, folks. I think Duck was having *a day* and we started talking about Epstein around minute 1. Many secrets are revealed, including some dark truth about h*rses and predictions for rosé season. Please buy wines from Forlorn Hope an…

The boys host Valentin morel to discuss his wonderful Cotes du Jura Trousseau, international Marxism and the future of the left within Jura. I'm going to be real with you chief, I have no idea what else we discussed because all three of us seriously got dummy trashed pretty fast. I'm hoping none of this is libelous and if it seems like it might be …

The boys welcome Brett Pallesen of Soil Expedition to about natural wine dogmas, how the small importer idiom will change in the near future, and German vs. French philosophical stylings. We've been really crushing on a bunch of SE's wines recently, so a real pleasue to talk to the man behind the magic. Please don't cancel us for whatever Duck said…

The boys are joined by Laura Brennan Bissell from Inconnu Wine to talk socialism, winemaking in the time of Corona, difficult vintages, and what the future might look like. Absolute banger of an episode with probably the first positive mention of Cabernet Sauvignon on this podcast, so, plenty to ruminate on. Buy Laura's wines. They whip, and we sta…

A sneak preview of our bonus stream, The Crush Room, now dropping once a week exclusively for our Patreon supports. https://www.patreon.com/Disgorgeous This week's bonus episode was a discussion of this article in the NY Times about Pantsdrunk, the Finnish tradition of drinking in your underwear. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/03/style/pants-drunk…

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 worl…

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 loc…

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-op…
