One Year Later...
I woke up this morning, knowing it's been exactly 1 year since the last time I indulged my inner drunk and had way too many pints, topped off with a big old glass of whiskey. One year since I could barely breathe after going up a flight of stairs or walking to my car and one year since my resting heart rate was somewhere around 170 beats per minute. In those 365 days, I have not let go of reality even once. No slip ups or "accidents", never having more than 2 beers in a single day and no hard liquor of any kind. Part of this is predicated by all the medications I'm on to help control blood pressure and keep my heart from running itself out of beats before my time is supposed to be up. But the other part has become a battle of internal monologues, each vying for supremacy and each with some good points to be made. On one side, we've got the good times Polk, the dr

Time to Let it Go...
An appropriate us for my growlers now, I suppose... I've come to a crossroads in my life and while this particular intersection may seem a little silly, it feels like a momentous, albeit small, decision going forward. I have a lot of beer paraphernalia, bottles and clothing. Mostly bottles and cans I've saved from all the thousands I've tried, about 500 or so that line the shelves and walls of my basement, along with many signs and pictures, various knick-knacks and mementos of the last decade of my life. Here's the thing though, I don't know if they speak to me anymore. I don't know that what they used to represent is what or who I am now and I wonder, quite seriously, if hanging onto these things is holding me back from the next evolution in my life. I know that in the end of it all, they are just things, collectibles to me and my memories and not really necessary to the times they represent. But looking around as the NFL season begins and hoc

videoIf you think wine tasting is intimidating watch this #short
Think wine tasting is intimidating? It doesn’t have to be! STEP 1: LOOK “First—look at the wine. Check the color and clarity. Lighter usually means fresher and brighter, darker often means richer.” STEP 2: SWIRL “Give it a swirl. This helps release the aromas—and yes, it’s okay if you spill a little.” STEP 3: SMELL “Now smell. Take a few short sniffs. Think fruits, flowers, spices—not ‘good’ or ‘bad.’ There are no wrong answers.” STEP 4: TASTE “Take a sip and let it coat your mouth. Notice three things: Sweetness, acidity, and texture.” STEP 5: FINISH “Swallow and see what lingers. Does the flavor disappear quickly or hang around?” CLOSING “That’s it!" #winelibrary #garyvee #instawine #ilovewine #drinkmorewine #wineoverwater #savewaterdrinkwine #wineeveryday #winesnob #winenerd #love #wine #cork #uncork #winebottle #cheers #🍷 #winestagram #winelover #winelovers #winesofinstagram #winelife". 📍 Shop Wine Library (Springfield, NJ & Online at https://winelibrar

Ep 264 – Wine Glasses Explained: Does Glass Shape Really Change the Taste of Wine? With Max Riedel
In this episode of Eat Sleep Wine Repeat, Janina sits down with Max Riedel of Riedel Glassware to explore one of the most debated topics in wine education and wine tasting: does the shape of a wine glass really change the way wine tastes? From the science behind bowl size, rim diameter and aroma delivery to grape-specific wine glasses, decanters and the evolution of modern wine styles, Max shares insights from the Riedel family's glassmaking tradition dating back to 1756. Together, they discuss how different wine regions, wine grapes and winemaking approaches influence glass design, why varieties such as Pinot Noir and Chardonnay require different shapes, and how wine lovers can improve their wine appreciation through simple tasting experiments. The conversation also explores decanting wine, collecting fine wine, memorable bottles, and the changing landscape of global wine culture. Whether you're passionate about wine education, curious about the impact of glassware on sensory percepti

podcast· 58:10· S7E28Natural Wine RELOADED
Is natural wine dead? Or is it thriving? What even IS natural wine these days?! Most importantly, what's next for this multi-faceted yet misunderstood category? Helping us answer these searching questions are writer and winemaker Rachel Signer , journalist Simon J Woolf and wine producer Ben Walgate . We also indulge in a bit of impassioned debate between the two of us - this being a particularly provocative topic. (It's not every episode that moves Peter to use the phrase, 'complete bollocks', and Susie to say, 'cheeky middle finger', but here we are.) For example, did you know that the very term 'natural wine' itself is an unfortunate mis-translation? Are you familiar with, 'organic-PLUS' viticulture? Why hybrids may be the next big thing for natural producers? That natural wine is a philosophy, not a style? How the natural scene has influenced conventional wine? And the fact there's a new category of 'natural-adjacent' wines emerging..? Click on this link and use the code WINEBLAST
