Lleida & Costers del Segre, the destination
If visitors to Spain move on from Barcelona and start heading away from the Catalan Coast, towards Madrid by train, there's a point where they begin to rapidly pick up speed. I often wonder that, just as this is happening if they look at the horizon and wonder, “Wow, what on earth is that?!” At 60m in height, on top of a hill, the tower of la Seu Vella in the city of Lleida can be seen from many points around the province, but it’s clear that most people don’t hop off the train to investigate. The numbers prove this. There were a record-breaking 20 million people who came to Barcelona in 2025. For Lleida, the official numbers are 1.4 million and I suspect that’s for the entire province and most of it is going to be local, not international visitors. It's always been a curiosity for me as while…

podcast· 55:21· Ep 618Back to Basics: Structure in Wine Part 2 - Sugar & Alcohol
In last week's show (dorkfest part 1), we discussed two components of structure, acidity and tannin, and how they are like two sides of a picture frame, structure. In this episode (dorkfest part 2), I cover the other two sides of that frame, sugar and alcohol, to complete the picture. For me, these components are the fundamentals and although writers are always trying to add more to the frame, they all can be attributed to one of these four elements. In this show I cover the following topics on sugar and alcohol: What are they? What are their roles in wine? Where do sugar and alcohol come from? How are each measured? How do we perceive sugar and alcohol (there is an especially interesting section about what we perceive as sweet, versus the reality! You may be surprised!) No and low alcohol 'wine' – how they are made, what is lost, and why I don't think they are actually wine! This is really dorky stuff but something that you should dig into if you really want to understand what you're

videoVeuve Clicquot 1982 Cave Privee Champagne Review
Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin is a Champagne house founded in 1772 by Philippe Clicquot. At that time is was called Clicquot champagnes. He retired in 1801 and left the business to his son Francois Clicquot, who has just married Barbe Nicole Ponsardin in 1798. In 1805 Francois died of typhoid. He was 30. His brother, Philippe wanted to liquidate the business but Francois, wife, Barbe Nicole, now a widow (or “Veuve”) decided to run the business. In the 1800s most businesses were run by men and at the time of Francois’ death Barbe Nicole was only 28 years of age with a young daughter. At that time, the Napoleonic Code prohibited women from working, voting, earning money, or entering schools and universities without the consent of their husband or father. But widows were the only women in French society allowed to run their own business. Despite incredible backlash, she proved to the male members of family that she was capable of running the business by completing an apprenticeship cour

Workshop: Joe and Charlie Big Book in one file - 12 hours
The Joe and Charlie Big Book workshops have been popular for many years and it was one of my first posts. I went looking for the latest version I could find and came across this one from 2013, it has great audio quality and I have combined all the files into one 12 hour workshop. A little background on the workshops: In 1977, some AA members met in a Tulsa, Oklahoma hotel room for a discussion on The Big Book. One member asked Joe and Charlie to come to his home group to present a program on The Big Book. A taping of that presentation was made and called "The Big Book Study". Through the circulation of these audio tapes throughout the Fellowship, Joe and Charlie received invitations to present the Study at AA conventions, roundups and special events. At the AA International Convention in New Orleans in 1980, Wesley P, organized a lunch for 1,500 AA members from all over the world and gave away 100 Joe & Charlie tape sets as door prizes. Invitations exploded, and within a couple of year
