Lessons from a Year Without Alcohol
Happy New Year! What started as a simple 365-day challenge —a personal test to see if I could go one year without a drink—unexpectedly turned into the most eye-opening experience of my life. After drinking most of my adult life, I thought I was just taking a break; instead, I was taking off a blindfold The post Lessons from a Year Without Alcohol first appeared on Houston Beer Guide .

"You Shouldn't Feel That Way" with Dr. Sarah Nasir
The stigma around mental health and/or substance use disorders often stymie a person's willingness to talk about it and ask for help. Dr. Sarah Nasir talks about her holistic approach to addiction medicine and mental health and the obstacles people face, often from those who say they care the most about them. Dr. Nasir is a dual board-certified family medicine physician with a sub-specialty in addiction medicine. An alumna of UC Davis, she majored in Biological Systems Engineering and later pursued her passion for medicine at the West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine. Currently, as the medical director at a methadone clinic, Dr. Nasir specializes in treating patients with opioid addiction. She founded several holistic wellbeing-focused startups, including Tripti-v, Transcendant You, and the nonprofit Pacific Oasis Foundation. Dr. Nasir's work and links can be found at https://sarahnasir.com/ and https://www.facebook.com/sarahnasirdo/ The State of Wisconsin's Dose of Reality camp

Wine Grapes by Jancis Robinson review
videoWhy Cool Climates Make Better Sparkling Wine?
Why are the world’s best sparkling wines made in cooler regions? In this clip, Andrew Rockwell (Head Winemaker at Sparkling Pointe, Long Island) explains why cooler climates allow grapes to develop flavour before sugars get too high — a crucial factor when making traditional-method sparkling wine. If alcohol levels get too high, the second fermentation in bottle simply won’t work. Watch the full interview to learn more about Long Island sparkling wine, climate, viticulture and winemaking.

The Art of Lingering: A Winter Week at Wildside
Winter at Wildside isn’t about filling the calendar. It’s about creating room. Room to breathe. Room to notice. Room to arrive without performing. January is when the vineyard goes quiet and we design experiences that honor that stillness — spaces that invite you to linger instead of rush, to participate without pressure, and to connect in ways that feel natural and unforced. This week at Wildside, everything on the calendar shares the same intention: slow down and stay awhile . Silence as...

Why No Dry?
Since 2007, I have taken the month of January off the booze. This was before the concept of "Dry January" was even a thing, and I literally chose to take the month off because I felt like shit on New Year's Day and had decided I needed to lose some weight, and so no booze for a while was part of that plan. I actually ended up taking nearly 6 months off the beer, though with the occasional bottle of Frankovka, a Czech red wine, and losing an inordinate amount of weight prior to my first visit to the US that summer. My month off became an annual tradition, one that I justified as being "the best way to lose the Christmas weight", and so it remained for most of the last 19 years. Most years I did indeed shed the pounds that I had gained by serious indulgence in the festive spirit, and by the end of the month I was eagerly anticipating my first beer of the year. This year I decided to change things. In 2025 I hit the ripe middle age of 50, even seeing that in black and white looks a bit od

Nature's Hide and Seek
The Troon winery during harviest “In ‘ Ten Keys to Reality’ by Frank Wilczek . Complementarity, as described by Wilczek, underscores the intricate and interconnected nature of the quantum world, where seemingly contradictory properties can coexist and enrich our understanding of the universe. In the dance of quantum mechanics, we find that the more we try to pin down certain properties of particles, the more elusive others become. It's as if reality is playing hide-and-seek with us, revealing itself in glimpses of complementary truths” There are a lot of very certain people in the world. They know all the answers. Another thing they all have in common is that they are wrong quite a bit of the time. Another commonality is that this does not deter them from thinking that they know all the answers. They need to replace that commonality with complementarity. A popular pastime for certain people is trashing Biodynamics. They don’t realize that Nature is playing hide and seek with us. They d

videoIrish Cream Barrel-Aged Stout
Amongst the rich tapestry of Irish traditions in Kansas City, one tie to the Emerald Isle stands out – The award-winning liqueur, Five Farms Irish Cream, produced in Ireland, is imported and sold by our friends at Holladay Distillery. KC is also referred to as Cow Town. So it made sense to import milk sugar from Five Farms to brew a silky-smooth barrel-aged Irish Cream Imperial Stout. The result is luscious, with notes of caramel, butterscotch, whiskey, and coffee with a smooth nitro finish. Sla
