Wine Snobbery for Dummies, Part XIX
Riesling...the other white wine. Riesling has gotten a bad rap in the wine world, largely misunderstood as a singular personality of overbearing sweetness, suitable only as dessert wine for many a discerning palate. But the Riesling grape is actually quite multi-faceted; arguably one of the most versatile varietals around, ranging from that stereotypical sweetness to crisp, dry and refreshing. Join us on Wednesday as we get to know Riesling on a more intimate level. Here's to life!

Jordan Birnbaum × Paul Krassner
A Founding Father Of Modern Political Activism
When we think about activism at its most impactful and effective, we usually think about the 1960s, and groups like The Yippies and The Merry Pranksters. We might think about publications like The Realist, and icons like Lenny Bruce and Ken Kesey. What do all these things have in common? The great Paul Krassner, who I regard as an American treasure. It is my greatest honor to have an opportunity to host him here on Tawkers and explore the current state of activism in the U.S.
