Natural Wine Is a Lie (And We're All Buying It)

Hate to break it to you, but that cloudy, funky bottle with the lo-fi label? It didn't exactly make itself. In this episode, we pull apart the myth of "natural" wine - what the term actually means (spoiler: legally, nothing), why winemakers and critics are at each other's throats over it, and the uncomfortable truth that fermentation is, and always has been, a deeply human intervention. I've got hot takes, I've got shade, and yes - I've got recommendations anyway. Whether you're a devoted pét-nat devotee or a conventionalist who thinks sulfites get a bad rap, this one's worth opening up.
