Episode 269: Austro-Thirsty Empire #5: Piwi Mecca ft. Emily La Bonte and Ethan Risinger

Disgorgeous

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////
