The reign of dankosity ends as the boys turn their coats, doff their caps (hello m'lady) and rail fat lines of sulfites. To further overextract the fun, they are joined by natural wine partisan, writer and party planner Alexis Schwartz of Thirsty, Thirsty. This is a really reasonable smart person episode, full of Proustian memories and duck muttering about Pre-Islamic monotheists in the Arabian peninsula. Kevin can't stop talking about his dumb natural wine trip I hope none of his cool new friends here this and judge him. Everyone chokes down a difficult semi-dry and avoids doing total 180s on the concept of NYS wine, so, resounding victory. Also, Duck requests you not @ him re: bronze age vs iron age, he was discussing with non-specialists and can't be as precise as he would like. Follow Alexis @alexistschwartz or @thirstythirsty to witness the future of natural wine. Also, uh, jesus guys, keep buying shirts and stuff! LIST///
