Thoughts On My First Time Attending CBC...Finally
This is a long overdue piece, but time and life always bring surprises, delays, and all kinds of unexpected curveballs. This being said, I am finally getting time to get caught up and share some of the great happenings over the last few months and the first half of the year. This piece is just that, and a big thanks to the Brewers Association for the recent Craft Brewers Conference that took place in Indianapolis from April 28-May 1st this year. Attending the event as a media presence was a great opportunity to get behind the scenes with the many companies that are bringing success to the craft brewing industry. From the breweries to the suppliers and marketers, and all that make it happen…it was a worthwhile experience. I had the honor to meet and talk with some legendary folks from the beer world, and here, just like many of the events that I have been a part of, the beer industry is one of the most welcoming and community-building ones that I have ever seen. It is something to see.

Rewiring the Brain: How Deep TMS and Ketamine Are Revolutionizing Mental Health and Addiction Recovery
Have you ever wondered how brain science is influencing mental health treatment? In today's episode, I speak with Dr. Colleen Hanlon, the Vice President of Medical Affairs of Brainsway. Dr. Hanlon, who specializes in neurobiology and has pioneered work in therapies such as deep transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and ketamine, discusses how these creative approaches are helping people recover from depression, PTSD, and addiction. Dr. Hanlon and I talk about the science behind TMS and ketamine therapy, why they're effective, and who might benefit the most. We look at how TMS activates certain brain networks to aid recovery, such as rousing up drowsy regions of the brain associated with depression, and how ketamine provides quick relief, particularly for people in immediate need. Furthermore, we discuss how combining TMS and ketamine may improve outcomes for specific individuals. If you're interested in mental health or looking for alternative treatment options, you'll benefit greatl
podcast· 26:37153. Reimagining Celebrations
When you hear the pop of a champagne cork, do you automatically think "celebration"? In this episode, we take a deep dive into how societal norms have shaped our connection between alcohol and special occasions. We’ll explore the powerful influence of marketing, group think, and cultural traditions that tie certain drinks—like champagne or mulled wine—to moments of joy and celebration. But what if you could redefine those moments for yourself? From breaking free of societal programming to creating personal rituals, this episode will inspire you to rethink how you celebrate life. Whether it’s experimenting with non-alcoholic options, crafting your own traditions, or finding new ways to bring joy to your gatherings, I’ll provide practical tips to help you transition away from alcohol-focused celebrations. Tune in to discover how you can create meaningful, fun, and memorable moments that truly resonate with your values, without needing a drink in hand! And if you want to do this but want
podcast· 54:22· Ep 509Growing Wine Brands: Digital Strategies and Innovation with Molly Bossardt
I watch social daily. I guess we all have to. Besides the interaction with peers, it keeps you aware of what people are thinking and doing. Once you get past the chaf and get to the honest opinions and outlooks, you get folks like Molly Bossardt. I reached out to her to get a glimpse of what she is thinking and doing in our trade. Have a listen. Molly Bassard proves that you don't have to be born in Napa or Bordeaux to turn the wine world on its digital head. When she launched Bread and Butter in the thick of 2020, Molly saw what many in the wine trade still missed: wineries remain rooted in old soil, even as marketing spins ever faster into the future. By tuning in, you'll quickly learn how Molly peeled back the layers of an industry famous for its dusty traditions and discovered a staggering lack of digital innovation, especially among smaller and mid-sized wineries. She exposes why so many vintners are hesitant—even averse—to marketing, and why most farmers don't realize that great

videoBest Waitrose Fine Wines 2025: La Monetta Gavi Review and Tasting Note
In this video I take a close look at one of the best value Italian white wines currently available in the Waitrose Fine Wine offers: La Monetta Gavi from Piemonte. I walk through where the wine comes from, how it's made, and give you a full WSET Level 3 style tasting note covering appearance, nose, palate and quality assessment. If you’re studying for WSET Level 2, Level 3 or Diploma, this breakdown will help you sharpen your tasting technique and understand Cortese in more detail. Here is the link to the Waitrose recipe collection. https://www.waitrose.com/ecom/recipe/cromer-crab-risotto-with-chilli-and-lime For this Gavi, I’ve chosen a Cromer crab risotto with chilli and lime – a brilliant match for the wine’s crisp acidity and delicate flavour profile. In this Waitrose Fine Wine series I review wines on offer between 3 December and 1 January 2025, highlighting bottles that deliver great value and strong educational talking points.

podcast· 23:02Épisode 85 : Voyage en Bresse : La Glorieuse de Montrevel
Chers amis, La France regorge de manifestations gastronomiques qui font la fierté de celles et ceux qui les organisent et y participent. Parmi elles, les Glorieuses de Bresse ont une place de choix avec un produit d’exception : les volailles de Bresse. Le principe de ce concours est simple : par lot de 1, 2, 3 ou 4 volailles, chaque éleveur doit présenter les plus beaux animaux. Poulets, poulardes, chapons et pintades sont jugés sur des critères pointus et purement esthétiques. En décembre dernier, j’ai eu le plaisir d’assister à Montrevel à l’un des quatre concours organisés. Soit celui qui attire les chefs les plus renommés depuis que la famille Mieral a fait venir un certain Paul Bocuse dans les années. Valery Mieral , aujourd’hui à la tête de l’entreprise qui porte son nom de famille, m’a accueilli à 7h00, de bon matin, au gymnase de Montrevel, pour me permettre de vous faire vivre ce concours de l’intérieur.
