Siduri Pinot Noir Anderson Valley 2020 Link to Wine: https://www.winex.com/siduri-pinot-noir-anderson-valley-2020.html Join our Daily Email Offer List: https://cdn.forms-content.sg-form.com/f3da488a-d10b-11ee-94a3-62718bdc6118 Great wines get lost in the shuffle. Especially right now. Siduri has long been one of California’s most respected Pinot Noir producers. Founded by Adam Lee and now part of Jackson Family Wines, the winery has maintained its original mojo while continuing to deliver serious single-region Pinot Noir. This Anderson Valley bottling blends fruit from Skycrest and Edmeades Vineyard, two outstanding cool-climate sites that balance warmer and cooler sections of the valley for a complete expression of the region. 2020 was a warm vintage, but Anderson Valley’s coastal influence saved the day. This wine is fire-free, clean, and beautifully intact. Ripe but fresh. Silky tannins. Black cherry, raspberry, subtle earth, and that classic Anderson Valley

videoThe Most Expensive Wine I've Ever Opened (Grand Cru Burgundy)
We risked $1,700 worth of wine to answer one question: is expensive wine worth it? In this episode of Got Somme, Angus O’Loughlin and Master Somm Carlos Santos open two Grand Cru Burgundies (around $800 a bottle) and taste them side by side. No posturing, no wine snobbery, just an honest test of what you’re paying for when the label gets serious. We talk: - What “Grand Cru” actually means in Burgundy - Why producers matter as much as terroir - The difference between a great $30 bottle and an $800 bottle - Whether expensive wine is “worth it” or just status - How to find underrated regions that deliver insane value BIG thanks to The French Wine Centre for providing the bottles 🙏🏼 https://frenchwinecentre.com/ Check out their AMAZING mixed 6 of French Reds for $250 https://frenchwinecentre.com/collections/packs/products/issue-02-mixed-3-the-reds Sponsor: RIEDEL https://www.riedel.com/en-au/shop#sort=bestSeller (Australians use code: GOTSOMME New Zealand: GOTSOMMENZ at check out fo
podcast· 1h 32m· S6E75Counterfiting Schemes, Cable Installation Hustles, Percs, Heroin, Crack and Religious Trauma...Eric Is One of the Most Insightful and Wise Guests in the History of the Show!
Eric’s journey begins in a small town in Ohio, where he was raised in a strict, religious fundamentalist household. The shift from being homeschooled to suddenly navigating public high school was jarring, and Eric turned to drinking and smoking weed as a way to cope. What started as a teenage escape grew into a cycle of destructive relationships and escalating substance use - Percocets, then heroin. Over the years, Eric’s addiction drove him into schemes to hustle money, from petty hustles to full-blown counterfeiting operations. His criminal activity eventually caught the attention of federal authorities, leading to ten felony charges and even a visit from the Secret Service. But Eric’s story didn’t end there. Clean since 2014, he has become a beacon of hope - showing that it’s possible to find deep spirituality without traditional faith. Today, he owns Sacred Journey Recovery , a men’s treatment center in Vista, California, dedicated to an experiential approach to healing with a stro
