podcast· 41:02Playing A Bigger Game : The Power Of Sisterhood with The Retreat Queens! Part 1 of 2
What would it take to believe, as long as you were being yourself, you couldn't do it wrong and that you belonged? This was the transformative power of our Woman's Retreat in Mexico. In today's episode, we weave tales of feminine healing and the power of women's retreat and sacred sisterhood. Our sanctuary of conversation opens its arms to the stories of strength and vulnerability, shared by the women, who have walked the path towards rekindling their inner light alongside us.

CASE 0514: Shaken, Not Stirred
DEFENDANT: Agent 007, Commander James Bond EVIDENCE: Martinis SCENE OF THE CRIME: Our Secret Lair -- Hey friend — grab a glass and settle in. In this episode we put the martini itself on trial: from the citrus-bright Vesper to a garden-fresh basil-cucumber twist, plus a yuzu-matcha surprise that doubles as our truth serum. We sip, argue, and nerd out about James Bond — the actors, the gadgets, the infamous "shaken, not stirred" debate, and the songs that make you feel like walking into a slow-motion title card. Expect cozy banter, a few too many martinis, pop-culture tidbits, and lots of affectionate teasing (and yes, some of that classic Bond misogyny and other problematic bits get called out). Whether you love Shirley Bassey, are Team Vesper, or just here for the gossip about which Bond almost died/was recast/played by a model who conned his way into a role — we’ve got you. We keep it casual — like a long conversation with a friend who brought cocktails and way too many fun facts. If
videoMoscato Di Scanzo, A Vineyard Walk
A Guided Vineyard Walk Two Sommeliers, Federico Bovarini, who had just become the Ambassador for the region & Therése Lönnqvist, a Sommelier from Sweden who was fluent in English and familiar with the region, joined us and guided us through the vineyards. While strolling, we passed Azienda Agricola Cerri. This is a rural center that is self-sufficient, a concept dating back to Roman times. Most of the buildings here were built in the 17th century, including the church built by the owners of the Savioni family. This is now an agriturismo. If you want to enjoy a meal in a place with views of this DOCG, this is a good spot. Moscato di Scanzo is a rare and highly prized red passito wine (dessert wine made from dried grapes) originating from the Lombardy region of Italy. Unlike most Moscato wines, which are typically white, Moscato di Scanzo is made from a distinctive, dark-skinned Moscato grape variety grown in the hills around the town of Scanzorosciate, near Bergamo. As we strol

Welcome to Beats, Vines & Life. In today’s episode, host MJ Towler is joined by Victor and Chloe Schwartz – wine importers who just became victorious plaintiffs in a groundbreaking Supreme Court case: VOS Elections versus Donald Trump. Together, they’re uncorking more than just their favorite bottles (including a Domaine de Banneret 2003 Châteauneuf-du-Pape); they’re sharing the inside story of a real “David vs. Goliath” battle. This episode isn’t just about politics and legal drama—it’s about the culture of wine, the grind of running a small business, and the tenacity it takes to stand up for what’s right. You’ll hear how the wine industry was blindsided by tariffs, how grassroots alliances formed to protect small importers, and how the Schwartzes turned a family business legacy into a landmark legal precedent. We’re digging into life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness – all over a glass of good wine, of course. Get ready for an inspiring conversation about courage, community, and

videoMoscato Di Scanzo Italy an Introduction Reel
Moscato di Scanzo DOCG Italy We were off on our first trip into Italian wine country before the Wine Media Conference in Lombardia. On the road, our little bus heading from Milan to Bergamo was filled with wine writers chattering excitedly. As we approached Bergamo, the little bus left the freeway traffic and began surfing the serpentine two-lane roads of the region’s hills. The hills are lush and green, and trees are sweeping in a blur as we take turns. Expansive views of the landscape to the south fan out before us one moment, followed by peeks into tiny valleys tucked in between the hills as the road hairpins back on itself. At last, we turn down a steep driveway into a property called Martinì Col di Paste. As we pull down the driveway, a magnificent little valley opens in front of us. It was picture postcard perfect. This was our destination, the valley of the Moscato di Scanzo DOCG. Francesca Pagnoncelli Folcieri First to greet us was a petite woman casually dressed in

The Wine CEO Episode #203: From Abusive Marriage in India to Winemaker in Bordeaux | Namratha Stanley's Inspiring Story | IWD 2026
In this special International Women's Day 2026 episode of The Wine CEO , I sit down with Namratha Stanley — French author, wine merchant, and founder of the Bordeaux wine brand Solicantus — to share one of the most powerful stories I've heard in the wine world. After surviving more than a decade in an abusive marriage in India, Namratha made the courageous decision to leave everything behind and rebuild her life. In 2017, she moved to Bordeaux, France , where she reinvented herself in the heart of one of the world's most famous wine regions. Today, she is a wine entrepreneur, brand owner, and author of the memoir Vineyard Melody — a deeply personal story of resilience, reinvention, and finding freedom through wine. In this episode, we discuss: 🍷 Her journey from India to Bordeaux 🍷 Escaping an abusive marriage and starting over 🍷 Building a wine brand in France as an outsider 🍷 The inspiration behind her memoir Vineyard Melody 🍷 Lessons about courage, identity, and transformation
videoDr. Homebrew | Episode #276: Back to the '90's
We had this idea: what if we had a few adventurous homebrewers brew beers according to some old set of BJCP style guidelines? Could they do it? What would that judging be like? How much has beer changed over the last 20 years or so? Turns out, there were other people who wanted to know the answers to those questions, too! So on today's show, we have on three homebrewers who each brewed some throwback beers for us, according to the 1999 BJCP style guidelines. Fun!
