"What to Say?" with Jessica Lahey
Words matter. Words are powerful, so powerful that many of us avoid talking about certain topics because of the emotions the words create. Jessica Lahey, the author of the New York Times bestselling books, The Gift of Failure: How the Best Parents Learn to Let Go So Their Children Can Succeed and The Addiction Inoculation: Raising Healthy Kids in a Culture of Dependence, discusses losing her good friend to depression and suicide and her hesitancy in writing about it.

Le origini del Brunello di Montalcino
Nel 1840 il farmacista Clemente Santi acquista la Tenuta il Greppo a Montalcino. Comincia a coltivare un clone di Sangiovese grosso, poi denominato Brunello, per il suo colore più scuro. Clemente Santi intuisce le peculiarità del suolo di Montalcino e scommette sulla longevità del suo vino. Nel 1869, alla Fiera della Agricoltura di Montepulciano, Clemente presenta il suo ‘vino rosso scelto’ vendemmia 1865. È una rivoluzione: Sangiovese in purezza con 4 anni di invecchiamento in botte. Il successo è generale. Nel 1885 Clemente passa il testimone al nipote Ferruccio Biondi Santi. Ferruccio segue le orme del nonno. Sceglie personalmente le botti di rovere, riduce le rese introducendo la tecnica della vendemmia verde. Ferruccio unisce i cognomi del padre, Jacopo Biondi, e della madre, Caterina Santi. Il 1888 è l’anno di nascita del Brunello di Montalcino Biondi Santi. Alla morte di Ferruccio, nel 1917, subentra il figlio Tancredi, che mantiene la guida dell’azienda fino al 1970. Tancredi a

Andy Myer: Oral History Interview
This interview is with Andy Myer of Goldback & Trivia Wine Room. In this interview, Andy talks about his path into winemaking, starting with studying philosophy in Pennsylvania before transferring to Willamette University to study environmental science. He shares how a summer job at Cristom sparked his interest, describing his first experience in a vineyard as a “lightning catalyst” that got him hooked. Andy discusses his hands-on learning journey, including harvests in New Zealand and Australia, working in Sonoma and Seattle, and spending time in Italy studying archaeology to understand early winemaking practices. He shares that these experiences shaped his perspective and led him to realize he didn’t need a formal degree to succeed in the wine industry. Later in the interview, Andy talks about starting Goldback in 2016 after moving to Oregon, his work with Wine Collective, and balancing family with his career. He reflects on challenges he faced throughout his career while also emphas

podcast· 49:51· Ep 511Breaking Barriers: How Ten Ten Wine Bar Champions Black-Owned Wines
I am proud when I say I was born in Inglewood, California. So were Li and Leslie Jones. When I was 5 or 6 years old, my father would take me to work as I sat and stamped brochures with the name Van Ness Pharmacy. Then the perscription driver would take me to Daniel Freeman Elementary School. I say that with all the reverence in the world for the process; I learned work ethic. When I heard that there was a wine bar that primarily served wines from black owned wineries and was catgering to a fnew crowd of black wine enthusiasts and in Inglewood, I had to hear more. And Li and Leslie Jones did not disappoint. You might think Leslie Jones and Li Jones would never have dreamed of running a wine bar while growing up in a home where wine was rarely poured and celebrations leaned more toward lemonade stands than stemware. Yet, as you'll discover, their journey from Inglewood siblings to the founders of 1010 Wine Bar unfolds with the same element of surprise and serendipity as finding Dave Matt

Rachael Martin: Oral History Interview
This interview is with Rachael Martin of Red Lily Vineyards. In this interview, Rachael talks about growing up in the Rogue Valley before leaving to pursue a career in law. After deciding that wasn't her path and returning to the Rogue Valley with a desire to own some land and grow something, her dad's suggestion to try wine grapes launched her into a new career. She talks about her time honing her craft at RoxyAnn Winery under the mentorship of Sarah Powell. Later, she discusses starting Red Lily, first getting vineyards planted and later starting to make her own wine. She talks about how the wines have evolved and how she values using the tasting room and surrounding space as a community hub. And she talks about the growth in the local wine industry and what comes next. This interview was conducted by Rich Schmidt at Red Lily Vineyards in Jacksonville on March 17, 2026.

Haus Lagerbier Update
In the very first post on Fuggled this year, I wrote about my main homebrew project for 2025, namely to take my many, many years of lager drinking, my fewer years of experience brewing my own beers, and come up with a beer that would be my "house" lager. I have named it, somewhat unimaginatively I am sure, Haus Lagerbier. The aim is to have something I brew 4 times a year, on the first Saturday of each quarter, to compliment in many ways my house best bitter, a brewday that I could probably do in my sleep. For this year, I wanted to dial in my preferred yeast strain before messing with hops and malt, etc. As such, batch 1 was brewing using the near ubiquitous 34/70, while batch 2 switched to S-189, which is a strain from Switzerland. Batch 1 went on tap in March, and looked like this in the late winter sun... I was most remiss with Batch 1 in that I didn't take the time to sit down and really analyse it with my modified Cyclops set up. A fact likely due to the fact that it tasted good
