What makes "natural wine" actually natural? Where can I find the best (affordable!) natty wines? Why is natural wine absurdly popular right now, anyway? In this episode of Thrillist's Best (and the Rest), host Wil Fulton is joined by the person who (arguably!) first introduced natural wine to the United States, wine importer Jenny Lefcourt of Jenny and Francois Selections, and Lena Mattson, General Manager and Wine Director at June in Cobble Hill, Brooklyn, to deliver a primer on all-things natural wine. Come to hear why you should be drinking natural wine, stay to learn why you should be swirling your wine clockwise.
Calling something “the best” is definitely a bold move -- but at Thrillist, we kind of do it for a living. On this new podcast, Thrillist Senior Writer/Producer Wil Fulton is joined by a rotating cast of Thrillist editors, writers, and contributors who spend their days
covering the best of the best in food, travel, and entertainment. Our team of experts will suss out the apex of each topic, and along the way cover some highlights of “the rest” (basically, anything that’s not the best). Look, you don’t have to agree with us… but you should probably listen. It’s like all your favorite bar debates are actually going to be settled, once and for all.
Thrillist means fun. We're eaters, drinkers, travelers, and doers. We serve the curious and believe that new experiences are what drive the richest lives. We bring our passion, expertise, and taste to bear on the things that are truly worth your time and money. Life is for living, and that’s why we’re here. Today will be great.

The natty wine rabbit hole certainly is deep and enthralling. People who have only ever engaged with traditional old world wines can have their minds completely blown by the array of different wines out there to enjoy!

Good video. The sediment is typically yeast at the bottom as well as grape remnants

I am looking for a red, white, and orange natural wine from the country of Georgia. What are a few popular ones of each and where can I find these? There are so many and I don’t know where to start.

I’m not sure where you are and what is available, but Baia’s Wines and Gvanta’s Wines, made by two sisters in Imereti Georgia - highly recommend. Also, Iago Bitarishvili’s Chinuri from Karli region. Kakheti has many, from Pheasant’s Tears to Telavi Wine Cellar (esp. the Kondoli vineyards).

Very interesting interview, I love "some" of the natural wines I have tasted, but didn't like so many of them that where so faulty ! A couple of comments : - Certified organic wines is not only about the vineyards, it is also a way of making wine with much lower levels of sulfites, and lots of restrictions on what you are allowed to do / add etc. In european certifications anyway. - I don't feel it is fair to compare "conventional wines to macdonalds" : very rarely you will find any of the "products" remaining in the wine at the end of the process, or it would be in so tiny quantities that is has no impact on health. Scaring people off by mentionning "hundreds" of allowed additives, when most wineries just use a bit of sulfite, the oldest conservative used on this planet from roman times, to protect from oxidation + a fining agent (which can be fish bladder, egg whites or simply a kind of clay) so the wine doesn't keep bacterias and is not completely cloudy is... questionnable ?

@petercarvalho1931 Жыл бұрын

I also think it is absurd. People should stop comparing values and legitimacy. Natural wine is just another way of doing it. It's the oldest way of doing it. "Conventional" wine is an evolution in process. But you will get different things with both styles, just chill tf out everyone

@cassandrazatka6240 3 ай бұрын

@@pointview4113while I think it’s a touch dramatic of a comparison, I do think it’s valid. Many cheap wines (or even table wines at the shop) are loaded with additives and preservatives, zero to no traceability of the ingredients used etc…like yes I know it’s a California wine but most of the the time those cheap bottles don’t even list the farm or region of the state/country unless it’s to boast-if the majority grapes even came from that region to begin with lol. Though to be fair I’m a specialty coffee person, so as a consumer my priorities and perspective is different haha

@Wil Fulton well she most likely prompted to be vague or she didnt want to brand herself as an occultist. She could have given the textbook definition. If this discussion was meant for marketing than this was a piss poor job. Do another. The interview seemingly trying to pluck hairs lol
