Shiraz, mostly
Penfolds Koonunga Hill Seventy Six Cabernet Shiraz 2006 . Opens hard and abrasive, but softens in time. Spiced Christmas pudding and shellac. Stylistically true to the house. I think this was the first release of the Seventy Six. I've written about it before . . . Then as now - I wonder - How finely/cynically can you segment the market when you ultimately offer only one sort of (red) wine - something dense, full, warm and old fashioned. . . SC Pannell Adelaide Hills Syrah 2012 . The 2013 edition went on to win the Jimmy Watson. This would be a tricky wine in a 100% blinded line up. It has a DMS / über black currant nose; thankfully I spotted the Burgundy bottle, bringing my formulation back to cool climate Shiraz. . . Full and plump, cherry ripe, with lovely fine inky tannins. Wolf Blass Black Label 2002. Shiraz, Cabernet and Malbec. Barossa and Langhorne Creek. From my cellar. Cork (50% stained). A whiff of glue and v/a to start, but then it's all lush oak (there's F

podcast· 31:41247. Redefining Fun
We dive into the topic of redefining fun beyond alcohol. Exploring the innate desires and pleasures within us, especially as women. We discussed the various aspects of life where we naturally seek enjoyment and how alcohol has become intertwined with those experiences. Here are the key takeaways: Associations with Pleasure: We examined how alcohol has become associated with activities we inherently enjoy, like socializing, music concerts, or downtime at home. These associations often override the natural pleasure of the activity itself, leading to a dependency on alcohol for enjoyment. Unpleasant Activities and Alcohol: On the flip side, we discussed how alcohol can mask the unpleasantness of certain activities, like venting frustrations at happy hours or engaging in gossip. While these activities may give temporary relief, they don't create lasting satisfaction and can compound negative feelings. Examining Your Thoughts: We emphasized the importance of examining your thoughts and pers

podcast· 1h 10m· S7E6Is the "Luxury" Wine Market a Myth? & The Truth About Restaurant Markups S7 E6
The panel debates whether "Luxury Wine" is a real quality tier or just a marketing construct used to justify high prices. Plus, industry insiders Jarred Gild, Nick Arone, and Jarett Coy pull back the curtain on how restaurants determine wine list markups and the reality of selling high-end bottles in a changing market. For the season 7 finale (and our 63rd episode!), we grabbed three of the coolest cats on Detroit's progressive wine scene and basically asked them to spill the tea (or, you know, the skin-contact orange wine). Get ready to meet the panel: Jarred Gild: This OG Detroit tastemaker has been ahead of the curve forever. His pioneering wine vision is the secret sauce behind iconic spots like Western Market, Stadt Garden, Pash & Glou, The Schvitz, and the legendary Dakota Inn. Seriously, he's the map to Detroit natural wine history. Nick Arone: The guy who made a splash the moment he rolled into town! Originally from sunny California and rocking a cocktail background, Nick pivot
