Oak. People love it or hate it but all MAR and Adam are saying is give oak a chance! Tune in to get a general run down on the different types of oak you can get at the oak store (including what's in the bargain bin), how oak affects a wine's flavor profile, how MAR believes oak can actually be a flaw/fault, and more while drinking the super delicious Le Raisin et l'Ange "Nedjma 17" Sauvignon Blanc/Chardonnay.

MAR and Adam have a lot of opinions about how natural wine is being called a "trend" in the media. If you don't like their freewheelin' rambles, this is not an ep for you, but if you DO LIKE hearing about how natural wine is a passionate lifestyle choice people have made for decades, how MAR is the shitty Rolling Stones reporter that ruined your favorite band, or Adam talk about cocaine, THEN YOU'RE GOING TO LOVE IT!

Yeah, everyone loooves pét-nat, but what is it? Adam and MAR discuss how pétillant natural is made, how it differs from other methods of making sparkling wine, and how just because a wine is "natural" and "sparkling" does not mean it's a pétillant natural. All this and more while drinking a brand spankin' new 2018 Chardonnay pét-nat from Scar of the Sea. Natural Disasters is powered by Simplecast.

It's that time again-- HARVEST! Adam and MAR go over the broad what/where/when/why's of harvesting while drinking Lamiddia's "Crick" sparkling Montepulciano and make progress on their never-ending debate about whether or not terroir exists. They don't get to talk about Kanye or Rick & Morty because Adam makes MAR tear up, but there is a good story about making wine on the moon.

Ditch the wine charms you added to your cart while drunk on Etsy and get ready for Adam and MAR to tell you exactly what you need-- and don't need-- to serve wine. They discuss everything from wine keys to chilling vessels to Coravins to glassware over a bottle of the Kindeli "Verano" rosé from New Zealand. They also talk about MAR's tits' hate mail, unsustainable vices, skydiving, and incest porn, but somehow NOT Rick & Morty? It's fine, you'll be a better host after this. Theme music by Mo...
Adam and MAR talk about how heat damages wine and how to store wine at home while drinking a Meinklang Zweigelt. They hold the Dan Harmon discussion until the end.

Adam and MAR drink and talk about the wine she helped make with Umbrian winemaker/Yoda/Batman Danilo Marcucci, the Vini di Giovanni “Ciliegiozzo Frizzante” Ciliegiolo.

Adam and MAR talk blends and Big Dick Energy while drinking the new Vini Rabasco "Cancellato" Montepulciano before going classic A&MAR on LeBron, Percy Selections' trade tasting, Drake, veal kidneys, Rick & Morty, and god knows what else.

Severine Perru of The Ten Bells joins Adam, Marissa, three dogs, one cat, and a baby to talk about The Ten Bells opening in Los Angeles, her beginnings studying bugs, and her wine adventures in Australia.

What the hell is a Brutal!!! wine and how the hell did Adam Vooolovooolus make one? Adam tells all, Marissa is a little drunk and fawning, they both have solid Sanchez burps and discuss another collaborative wine label, La Boutanche. Natural Disasters is powered by Simplecast.
Marissa hates plain M&M's and Adam first smoked weed before you were born also does Charles Shaw's certified organic wine taste better or nah? Natural Disasters is powered by Simplecast.
Our first winemaker! Tracey Brandt of Donkey & Goat! We drink Pinot Gris and talk labels, transparency, fining, filtering & more. Doug Swim chimes in about front farts, Adam renames "mouse," and Marissa repeats herself a lot. Just a totally classic ND pod ep, bro. Natural Disasters is powered by Simplecast.
On this episode, Marissa likes talking about dirt, while Adam thinks dirt is dumb. We also text with Evan Lewandowski & Chris Scanlan to get to the bottom of this bottle. We ramble a bunch and are working on the sound issues, but this is our second, ahem, THIRD, pod so. Doing our best. Natural Disasters is powered by Simplecast.
