Episode Synopsis

Is sauvignon blanc the worst grape? Is wine an aesthetic experience? Are vignerons artists? Is Yard Act a pop punk band? It is with these questions, that we enter the discourse!! The wine is Vigna Flor Solo il Vero Resta Bianco, 100% Sauvignon Blanc, and the mood is a cold blanket on a hot summer day. We build the playlist In Real Time (don't worry, only the tail end of *that* discussion is included). You'll hear bops, thrumming beats, and the super tight combo of New Order and Dead Tooth.
"Art is bringing a vision you have from your mind into the real world. That's a key part of it. The purpose is to make someone feel or think about something else that you have. It's transcending language to some degree. So much of art is using the physical world to do that...wine is very similar. It's taking those natural resources of the earth, shaping them to some kind of idea that you have."
"We are obsessed with that because we are always obsessed with artists. We wanna know what their point of view is. We wanna know what they're trying to bring to us. We wanna connect with them. We are connecting with specific people when we are drinking wines like this...in that sense they are very much artists."
