podcast· 17:51Loosen Your Grip On Trying To Figure Out Alcohol
🔗 Try Magic Mind with 20% off: magicmind.com/maryW20 Today, we’re diving into what it really means to surrender and trust your next evolution. Whether it's shifting your relationship with alcohol, your career, or any part of your life, the key isn’t figuring it out—it’s finding out by loosening your grip and stepping into curiosity. I share personal updates on balancing my online work with the new life my family and I are building on our farm. I also reflect on how resistance shows up when we’re being called to something new and how sometimes, we need to let go of “the way things have always been” to allow something even better to emerge. With the arrival of Lent, Venus retrograde, and the shift into spring, this is an invitation to pause, empty out, and make space for what’s truly calling you. Key Takeaways: 🌿 Your next evolution is already calling—you just have to listen. 🌿 FOMO isn’t real when you’ve already experienced something. What if you stopped holding on so tightly? 🌿 Loo

podcast· 31:26· S1E220Special Episode! Meet the (Wine) Makers #23: Jun Kono President and Master Sake Brewer at Sohomare and Leo Lê Sommelier of Kappo Sono and Momoya
Sake is not a beverage we often cover on the podcast, but when we had the chance to talk to one of the great sake makers in the world, we jumped at the chance. In this episode we introduce you to Jun Kono of Sohomare, one of the world’s premier sake makers, and Leo Lê Sommelier of the great Kappo Sono in New York City and Momoya. What a treat to meet these two leaders in their respective businesses, and get to know them. As you know, sake is often called “rice wine,” but that is not the best description of it because the brewing process is so different and complex. And while many sake makers are trying to chase more accessible and fresher versions of sake, Sohomare is focused on making deep, complex, and elegant sake that is made to be eaten with food. We know you will learn a ton, like we did, in this conversation, and come away with a new appreciation for one of the most significant alcoholic beverages in human history. Send us a Text Message and we'll respond in our next episode! Co

9/18/25: Three Floyds' Brewing Co.'s Munsterfest
I'd intended to get this post up a few weeks ago. Back then, the air was chilly and crisp. There was that distinctive autumnal aroma on the breeze. It would've been perfect for the blog to ring in Oktoberfest season. Alas, I waited too long. Now, we're back to 90-degree days with air quality alerts. It's still summer, and the weather wants us to know it. But hey, at least it's a good day for a lager! I'm doing up Three Floyds Munsterfest today. I bought it primarily for the label--I, much like my toddler, love Godzilla. Let's see if this Oktoberfest-style lager is just label-temptation or the real deal! Since it's been nearly six years since Three Floyds last graced the blog, let's talk about them for a bit. The brewery got its start in Hammond, IN back in 1996 when Nick Floyd began brewing on a mishmash of equipment. After getting a few renowned beers under the Three Floyds flag, the operation expanded to Munster, IN in 2001 and opened a brewpub in '04. Since then, the brewery's

Franciacorta’s Ca’ del Bosco: Icon of Italian Sparkling Wine
Yesterday was a gloriously sunny fall day. One of those echos of summer that puts you in a celebratory mood. And, happily for me, I was headed to lunch with the charming Giacomo Marzotto, a member of the wine powerhouse Marzotto family, in town to sing the praises of their Franciacorta estate. Ca’ del Bosco is one of the most renowned producers of Franciacorta sparkling wine. Over a lineup of both sparkling and still bottlings, Giacomo offered insight into the philosophy that has made Ca’ del Bosco a benchmark estate in Italy. Franciacorta in Context Franciacorta is a relatively young appellation, officially recognized in 1967 and elevated to DOCG status in 1995. In just a few decades, this Lombardy region has grown into Italy’s premier source of traditional-method sparkling wine, often compared to Champagne. With just under 3,000 hectares under vine and some 200 producers, Franciacorta remains small in scale but ambitious in quality. Chardonnay dominates plantings, with Pinot Noir and

podcast· 15:02170. Feeling Like a Grown-Up
What if the way we think about drinking and adulthood is completely backward? In this episode, we’re unpacking the belief that having a drink makes us feel “grown-up”—and revealing why that might not be true at all. Is it really a mark of maturity to pour a glass of wine just because it’s Friday, or because the restaurant is chaotic, or because “we can”? Or is that actually our inner toddler demanding instant gratification? We’ll explore how responding to cravings isn’t as sophisticated as it seems—and what actually gives us that powerful, in-control feeling of adulthood. But here’s the twist: what if choosing water, or simply drinking with intention, is the most grown-up move of all? We’ll break down why true empowerment comes from making conscious decisions—whether that means drinking mindfully or skipping it altogether. If you’ve ever wondered whether alcohol is really the key to feeling like an adult, or if there’s a better way to own your choices, this episode is for you. Tune in
