  • French Wine and Phylloxera // The Little Pest that Changed the Wine Industry
    Send us a textThis week we're continuing the conversation around the history of whiskey in the 1880's. And yes, today's episode will lean more on wine, but it was phylloxera, a little insect that would set the stage for the story we'll tell this season. As you'll learn, it was this plaque that would vastly change the wine industry, and thus help grow the whiskey industry into what it is today.

  • Raise a Glass // The End of Prohibition
    Send us a textIn the law-breaking spirit of the decade that spawned bootleggers, speakeasies, and organized crime, we realized that we had to bend the rules and cover events that stretch beyond the 1920s. In this, the "final" episode of the season, we discuss the factors that brought about the end of Prohibition. We will be back soon so be sure to like, rate, and subscribe, and keep an eye out for some extra episodes to hold you over until we go back to the 1880s for Season Two of Decades Distilled!
