Bringing systems together at Siren
As breweries grow, the systems that once held everything together can quickly become the thing that slows them down. Separate platforms for sales, stock, reporting and finance often work well enough in the early years, but over time they introduce additional costs, duplication and risk. For Siren Craft Brew, that tipping point came when day-to-day...

Spring brings changes
Let us reintroduce ourselves... Dearest Wine Lovers, When I first opened Wander, the vision was simple: a true wine bar. The kind you stumble into in Europe. An ever-changing wine list. Small plates meant for sharing. A space that feels like a mini getaway in the middle of the week. Over time — especially after COVID — we shifted and stretched to meet the moment. And while so much of that growth was necessary, I’ve felt the pull to bring Wander back to its roots. So we’re refining....

podcast· 19:27BONUS You Don’t Need To Be An Alcoholic To Quit Drinking
This bonus episode is a truth-telling moment — the conversation I wish someone had given me during the 20 years I wanted to quit drinking but didn’t know where to turn. If you’ve been stuck between two awful options — white-knuckle sobriety forever or resigning yourself to drinking because nothing else feels right — this is your sign that a third option exists. I share the real mindset shifts I learned outside of AA, how I finally made alcohol irrelevant, and why most women stay stuck bargaining for years. We talk about the gap you avoid, the mental noise you've normalized, and why “just not drinking” never creates the freedom you want. This is the foundation of the Permission Protocol — the feminine, embodied path to shifting your relationship with alcohol on your own terms. In this episode, I walk you through: • the real reason quitting feels impossible (hint: you’re only trying to not drink ) • the third option between AA and white-knuckling • how alcohol becomes the center of chang

Little by little
Looks like it's time for me to get my Little Thing out again. The latest in Sierra Nevada's seemingly endless variations on its signature hazy IPA is Citra Little Thing . As usual, the can is most uninformative, beyond the ABV of 7.5%, but the brewery website tells me it's not a single-hopper, the Citra joined by Simcoe. It's reasonably hazy, though not the full-on beaten-egg emulsion you get from the more extreme practitioners of the art. It smells reasonably juicy, though with more of a fruit candy vibe than actual juice: Skittles, Starburst, that kind of thing. For all the alcohol, the flavour is quite muted, I thought, and there's none of the hop vibrancy I had been expecting. You could argue that Citra is famously bitter so might disappear in an IPA designed to be sweet, but you'd be wrong. Plenty of breweries use Citra for this purpose to excellent effect. This seems like a big industrialised brewery low-balling the hops for budgetary reasons. For shame, SN! That said, it's not a

podcast· 51:40· Ep 543Are Michelin Stars Ruining the True Spirit of Great Restaurants? Patric Kuh Tells All
I first met Patrick at our favorite steak house in Manhattan Beach; the Arthur J. The wine list there is one of the most thought out I have seen in all my travels. It was Patricks first day there. We had an intriguing conversation and returned a week later to continue our discussion. Serendipitously, by me eavesdropping on a conversation, I learned that Patrick had authored a book: The Last Days of Haute Cuisine. I was seriously taken by this accomplishment and immediately found the book on Amazon and voraciously read it cover to cover. A stroy of food in America that had been untold prior. Patric Kuh knows a thing or two about the high wire act that is fine dining—after all, he's balanced on that tightrope both in kitchens and at critics' tables, with a sharp pen and a sharper palate. If you've ever dreamed of opening a restaurant, wondered what true "haute cuisine" actually means, or questioned why credit cards changed the whole dining landscape, this is the episode that will entice
