A key part of my planning process then, and maybe I a sad bandit for this, is to use Google Maps to find places in the locations that I will be, and then check out their websites to see if it is likely to be the kind of place I want to visit. It is almost exactly 15 years that I wrote a post called " Do Pubs Help Themselves? " in which I lamented the standard of many a boozer website. My biggest beef was that many pub websites go to great lengths to tell you about their wine list, their cocktail list, their food options, but almost nothing about what beers are actually on draft, which is just as true for a tied house as it would be for a free house.

podcast· 1h 17m· Ep 115IWP Ep115 Pete Bloomberg - Llewelyn Wine
IWP Ep115 Pete Bloomberg - Llewelyn Wine. Last month I sat down with Pete Bloomberg of Llewelyn Wine. Pete has been making natural wines since 2021 after transitioning from a career in the Beer Industry. His wines are super interesting and somewhat unusually he tends to concentrate on white wines and lighter styles of red wine. Most grapes are sourced from Sonoma or Mendocino county and he’s now farming a Sonoma Mountain Chardonnay vineyard. Pete has created a wonderful project and even though the wines aren’t always the easiest to track down, they are worth the effort.

podcast· 16:48Is God Calling You To Sobriety?
Sobriety is your birthright. God didn't create you to alter yourself. The only alteration required is remembering who you are, both holy human and divine. It's the right of passage most Women never received, and in fact, alcohol has limited the privilege in our lives of being able to know God deeply. The reasons Women drink are the same reasons we stay separate from God: fear of receiving and the need to always prove our worth.
