What You Actually Need to Know About Natural Wine: The Best (and the Rest)

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. Thrillist is a part of Group Nine Media.
