Natural Disasters

In the first episode of Drunk Dial-- Adam and MAR's new hotline for listener questions-- King of Biodynamics Rudolf Steiner leaves a message from the grave to see what California white wines he should be drinking and they answer questions about volatile acidity, why yeast inoculation is such a big part of natural wine, what pairs with Frito Pies and more. Have a question for Adam and MAR? Drunk Dial them! Call 213-245-1503, leave them a message about wine or literally whatever and they'll get back to you in the next installment of Drunk Dial.

MAR has her first glass of wine, Kindeli's "Otoño", in almost a month since she's been quarantined on quarantine with Shingles and cathes up with her bff Adam.

This is a first. With Marissa out sick Adam does a solo ep. He interviews Vinny Eng, the sommelier, political activist, writer, and all around great person. They talk about the restaurant industry and how COVID-19 is probably going to change it forever.

The second part of our pairings episode from last week, which turned out to be disastrous in a couple ways.

Adam and listeners have been wanting a pairing episode since ND started in 2018. MAR has always been skeptical but WE'RE DOING IT! Tune in today for part one, where Adam and MAR test four different wines with seven different snacks. Tune in next week to hear part two, where Adam and MAR discuss pairing in general and junk food pairings, MAR's least favorite thing aside from the term "orange wine."
