podcast· 16:56036 Your Questions Answered: How Hard is it to Stopping Drinking? Can I Reset my Drinking?
In this episode of I Quit Wine , I’m answering some of the biggest questions about quitting alcohol—how hard it really is, what to expect in early sobriety, and whether you can ever “reset” your drinking habits. I’ll also share insights from my own journey, what finally worked for me after years of trying, and why addressing the root causes of alcohol dependence is so important. ✅ Early sobriety is challenging, but it gets easier with the right support and daily practices. ✅ Alcohol cravings aren’t just triggered by stress—happy moments can also lead to urges. ✅ There’s no such thing as “resetting” drinking habits—quitting completely is often necessary. ✅ Long-term sobriety isn’t just about avoiding alcohol; it’s about healing the deeper reasons we drink. 🔹 The Challenge of Early Sobriety The first 30 days can be tough, but they’re also crucial. Around 80-100 days, something shifts, and sobriety starts to feel easier. Daily practices are key—willpower alone won’t keep you sober. How m

382: The Prison That Became a Distillery: Belfast's Most Unlikely Comeback Story with McConnell's Irish Whisky
Why do Irish distillers believe triple distillation creates a smoother, more refined whiskey? What makes a whiskey feel warm and smooth on the palate instead of fiery or harsh? Why does the Belfast origin of ginger ale make it such a natural pairing with McConnell's Irish Whisky? In this episode of the Unreserved Wine Talk podcast, I'm chatting with John Kelly, CEO of the Belfast Distillery Company, responsible for reviving one of Belfast's most famous brands, McConnell's Irish Whisky. You can find the wines we discussed at https://www.nataliemaclean.com/winepicks . Highlights Why does Irish whiskey traditionally favour triple distillation while Scotch producers rely on double distillation? How do first-fill American bourbon barrels shape the citrus, vanilla, and floral character of McConnell's five-year-old whiskey? Why does the balance between grain and malted barley affect whether a whiskey feels warm and smooth or fiery on the palate? How does a higher malt content contribute to a

videoPriorat’s Famous Llicorella Soils Explained #history #science #wine #priorat
Join me in Priorat, one of Catalunya’s most historic and distinctive wine regions. I’m visiting the Mas Doix vineyards near Poboleda, exploring century-old bush vines planted on the region’s iconic llicorella slate soils. These shallow, nutrient-poor, heat-conducting slate layers are a defining feature of Priorat and play a major role in producing the area’s powerful yet graceful red wines. In this video, I walk through the steep natural contours of the vineyard, show the structure of the llicorella soil beneath my feet, and explain why these conditions are so important for vine stress, drainage, and intensity of flavour. If you have any questions about Priorat, slate soils, or the wines of Catalunya, feel free to leave them in the comments.

Samā Cellars
Chaz Bangur of Samā Cellars Growing up in India, Chaz Bangur did not drink wine or any other form of alcohol. It was taboo in many families. Graduate study for a PhD in Biochemistry first brought him to the US in 1993, specifically to Buffalo, New York. In 1999, he moved to Seattle where he worked in biotech on developing innovative cancer therapies. He also completed an MBA in technology management at the University of Washington, and eventually went to work for Microsoft. He developed friendships with people interested in wine, and they took him on trips to Woodinville and, eventually, to Eastern Washington vineyards and wineries. He fell in love not only with WA wine, but also with the winemaking process, which he discussed with all the winemakers he met. When his daughter went away to college, he decided to enroll in the Northwest Wine Academy to learn how to make wine on a commercial scale. Chaz’s first vintage was 2022, and he opened his

podcast· 53:31· Ep 505From Air Force Dreams to Napa Icons: Trevor Duling's Unexpected Wine Journey
When I recorded this episode, Trevor was the Director and Head Winemaker of the famed Beaulieu Vineyards. And, one of the reasons I ventured into a corporate winery podcast, was that very reason. I wanted to peel back the idea of a such an iconic winery becoming corporate and how much the "Board" had to do with the decision making; in other words, can a winery maintain its boutique expression despite having a huge beauracracy working in the background. Trevor Durling is now with Darioush and Nate Weiss has taken the helm (recently at Silver Oak). Trevor Duling is the kind of winemaker who almost ended up piloting B-52s before dedicating his life to the legacy and land of Beaulieu Vineyard—luckily for all of us, he decided that art, science, and agriculture in a glass was a more enduring pursuit than the cockpit. In this episode, you'll be swept from Trevor Duling's childhood inspirations, shaped by the tales of his heroic grandfather, into the heart of Napa's most closely-guarded secre

Olive Hamilton Russell: Oral History Interview
This interview is with Olive Hamilton Russell. In this interview, Olive talks about growing up in South Africa and her family's background in farming. She discusses moving to London and become enamored with wine, which led to her working in the South African wine industry and selling wine in the United States.

She also talks about the future for herself and for the Oregon wine industry.
