One may not normally think of fine wine when thinking about American Presidents - but as it turns out, once you start to open it up and air out the information (see what we did there?), the results can be surprisingly bracing. So before we dive into the Roaring 20s, it's time to kick back and enjoy a special episode exploring our highest office and its forays into fine wines - sometimes ineptly, other times surprisingly informed, always with a surprising aftertaste. The DB Comedy crew is joined by Lainie Petersen, a Chicago podcaster with a superb palate and a ton of information that goes down smoothly. Pour one off and enjoy!
