podcast· 16:19Beyond Boredom: Rediscovering Your Creative Essence
Have you ever caught yourself pouring a glass of wine just because you were “bored”? Let’s talk about what’s really going on underneath that go-to excuse — and why it matters so much to your feminine wellbeing. In this episode, we get real about how our culture conditions women to fear stillness and how alcohol has become a sneaky permission slip to rest. But what if you could grant yourself that permission — no wine required? ✨ This one’s for the woman who’s ready to reclaim her energy, her creativity, and her right to just be. We’ll explore: Why “boredom” is often a mask for your body’s need to rest How productivity culture suppresses feminine creativity The real shift that happens when you drink — and why it’s not what you think How alcohol has become a socially acceptable way to pause What it feels like to build the muscle of receptivity instead of numbing The feminine magic waiting for you on the other side of the “antsy” feeling Your feminine energy doesn’t thrive in constant doi

Success requires a sound foundation. When the foundation of a child's life is built of bricks of shame and insults, it seems inevitable that the child feels unimportant and unwanted.

After several attempts to stay sober failed, she found herself at a tipping point. She talks about how she put her life back together brick by brick. Libby is a mother, a wife, a peer specialist, and an author whose book, "Daily Journal: Building a Strong Foundation — One Brick at a Time," can be found at https://www.amazon.com/Daily-Journal-Building-Strong-Foundation/dp/B0CT5LYYZ4 .

Nichole Schulte: Oral History Interview
This interview is with Nichole Schulte of Quady North/Barrel 42. In this interview, Nichole talks about her background studying law and working in insurance, and her current journey working in wine. Nichole talks about growing up in Florida and starting to work in insurance. After managing a call center, she became an adjuster, following storms across the country to help those affected settle insurance claims in the aftermath. At the suggestion of a colleague, she went to law school and spent a semester studying wine law abroad in Lyon, France. Nichole discusses moving to Grants Pass with her husband and starting to visit local wineries to get to know the community. In 2012, she worked a harvest internship at Troon, where she met Herb Quady. Shortly after that first internship, she and Herb joined Brian Gruber to start Barrel 42 as a custom crush facility. Together, they took the business from an old pear packing plant to the onsite winery they have today. Later in the interview, Nicho
video300km Across Australia: The Real Decison Behind When To Pick.
10 hours. 300km. Three grape varieties. One increasingly unhinged winemaker. It's harvest season at Unico Zelo, which means I'm up before dawn, driving across South Australia sampling Fiano, Zibibbo and Gewurztraminer — trying to figure out when these grapes are actually ready to pick. This is what winemaking looks like when you're a small producer with big dreams: long hours, solo drives, talking to yourself a bit too much, and making judgment calls that'll shape the wines you drink next year. Along the way, a grower gifts me a watermelon for reasons I still don't fully understand, I somehow harvest a bunch of chillies from someone's cover crop, and I find what might be one of the best curries in Australia... at a service station. This is part of an ongoing series documenting how we make wine for the 2026 vintage — the real version, not the Instagram version. Part of the 2026 Vintage Series Follow the journey from grape to glass across the whole harvest season. #winemaking #har

videoVineyard Views | Spring Pruning on Pritchard Hill at Chappellet
Spring arrives quietly on Pritchard Hill as bare vines stand in clean lines beneath soft morning light. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL068UMwCb_ujCIdqOKFwhrqXAwP3fU_rU This cinematic film explores Chappellet’s vineyards in early spring, when green grasses blanket the hillsides and the vines remain trimmed and still. Aerial views move across the landscape at sunrise, revealing careful geometry, fresh growth on the ground, and the steady work of vineyard crews pruning each row by hand. Vineyard Views is a series devoted to observing the land between moments of peak season. In spring, the vineyards feel open and intentional. Workers move with focus, the light stays gentle, and the hill prepares itself for the growing months ahead. This is Napa Valley in a quieter phase, grounded, patient, and full of promise. #chappellet #napavalley #vineyardviews #pritichardhill #springvineyards #winecountry #pruningseason #sunriseviews #aerialcinematography #napaexplore #vineyardlife #calif

podcast· 6:50· S5E16The Bottle That Outsmarted a Master Sommelier
In this episode of Got Somme, the boys put wine knowledge to the ultimate test with another instalment of the Blind Wine Tasting Series. Carlos goes in blind with only the glass in front of him, breaking down colour, aroma, structure, tannin, alcohol and region clues in real time. What follows is a fascinating look inside the mind of a Master Sommelier as he narrows down possibilities across Italy, Spain, Portugal, Greece and France before making his final call. From volatile acidity and jammy red fruit notes to debates around Grenache, Xinomavro and Mediterranean climates, this episode is equal parts education, entertainment and pressure. Then comes the reveal. Did Carlos nail it, or did the wine win? If you love blind tasting, wine education, sommelier reactions or simply watching experts under pressure, this one is for you. In This Episode: - How sommeliers analyse wine blind - Why alcohol, acidity and tannin matter - Carlos rules out Italy, Spain and Portugal - The Greek wine curve
