Darcy Pendergrass: Oral History Interview
This interview is with Darcy Pendergrass of Amity Vineyards. In this interview, Darcy talks about her journey from tasting room associate to winemaker at Amity, and what she has been up to since then. Darcy shares about growing up in Oregon and staying close by in Montana for college. After earning her degree in microbiology to work in healthcare, then later deciding that wasn’t for her, she moved back home and started Chemeketa’s new viticulture program.

"Alternatives - Ketamine Therapy" with DJ Quam
DJ Quam is in recovery from a substance use disorder but experienced ongoing depression and occasional anxiety. After discussing options with his partner and sponsor, he decided to try ketamine therapy. He discusses his experience and results. The FDA has warned that ketamine and compounded ketamine products aren't approved to treat any psychiatric disorders, although a ketamine-derived drug called esketamine is approved for some people as part of treatment-resistant depression in a certified clinical setting. More information about the use of ketamine for treatment-resistant depression can be found here: https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/ketamine-for-treatment-resistant-depression-when-and-where-is-it-safe-202208092797 and here: FDA warns about compounded ketamine for psychiatric disorders.

podcast· 25:11· Ep 12Winiarska Majorka: Los Dos Caballeros - z miłości do miejsca i wina
Walter Kraushaar, współzałożyciel Los Dos Caballeros, to Niemiec, który porzucił świat finansów, by wrócić do rodzinnych korzeni winiarskich – tym razem na Majorce. Jego dziadek był winiarzem nad rzeką Lahn, a dzieciństwo spędzone w winnicy ukształtowało marzenie o własnych winach, które zrealizowało się dopiero po latach pracy w bankowości.W Los Dos Caballeros Walter, wraz z Williamem Stanleyem, od zera stworzyli ekologiczne gospodarstwo na dziewiczym, wcześniej nieuprawianym komercyjnie terenie: dawne kaparowe poletka, kilka starych migdałowców i zrujnowana finca zamieniły się w nowoczesną, ale świadomie „bez fajerwerków” prowadzoną winnicę. Dwaj Panowie uprawiają zarówno lokalne odmiany (Manto Negro, Callet), jak i międzynarodowe szczepy dobrane pod kątem klimatu i własnych preferencji – Sauvignon Blanc, ciepłolubny Grenache idealny na rosé i lekkie czerwone, uzupełniony bardziej „cielistym” Merlotem.Projekt Waltera i Williama to coś więcej niż wino: to konsekwentna filozofia zrów

The Wine Makers – Spring Release Show
Spring has arrived in Sonoma, the sun is out, and the new releases are finally coming out of the cellar. This week we sit down and taste through the latest wines from Dane Cellars, Jambe des Bois, and Winery Sixteen 600. Along the way we talk about where the fruit comes from, the vineyards behind the wines, and how each bottle was made. The lineup gets a lot of attention, including the JDB Gamay, Bart’s Silver Cloud Sauvignon Blanc, and Sixteen 600’s Steel Plow Grenache. After about the tenth wine the conversation loosens up a bit. We tried to spit most of them, but a few were just too good to let go. All of the wines we tasted are available now through the wineries’ websites.

This episode explores some controversial silliness over a bottle of wine that shows up in a classic fairy tale. We take a look at the history, and then casually address the wine Little Red Riding Hood may have actually hauled through the woods to her ailing grandma in rural 19th century Germany. We end with a crazy pairing ... all in the spirit of entertainment.

podcast· 29:31347. Cuando el agua golpea, la tribu responde: conversación con Antonio del Mar sobre Cádiz.
Hoy nos acompaña Antonio del Mar, el alma de andaluciadevino.com. Es uno de esos comunicadores que viven el vino desde la raíz. Desde el territorio. Desde el respeto absoluto al productor y al pequeño elaborador. Muchos lo habréis echado de menos estas Navidades. Cada año nos regalaba esa selección tan esperada: ocho vinos, ocho provincias andaluzas, una manera preciosa de recorrer nuestra tierra a través de la copa. Este año, por cuestiones de agenda, no pudimos cuadrarlo. Pero Antonio sigue ahí. Siempre está. Hoy le robamos un rato de su valioso tiempo. Un tiempo que ahora dedica más que nunca a recorrer la provincia de Cádiz, llevando los vinos andaluces a cada rincón, apoyando al sector gastronómico, acompañando a hosteleros, distribuidores y bodegueros. Porque Cádiz vuelve a estar en un momento delicado. El agua —esa que tantas veces bendice nuestras viñas y nuestros campos— en otras ocasiones se comporta con una fuerza salvaje.

videoTHE RUNNING MAN (1987) Paired With Love and Hate
With the brand new Edgar Wright re-adaptation about to drop on Friday, we decided to revisit the OG 1987 movie, itself an adaptation of the “Richard Bachman” novel, itself the pseudonym that Stephen King wrote his non-horror novels under, something he managed to keep secret for over a decade and hysterically the person who secured the movie rights to the book had no idea it was King!!! We deep dive into this history, then talk at length about the movie’s themes and whether or not they resonate today (we did NOT agree on this point!) A man falsely accused of crimes forced to fend for his life on a televised game show where the stakes are life and death all for the entertainment of the passive masses…that sure sounds pretty resonate today, doesn’t it? And in broad strokes, it absolutely is. But the devil is in them details. 0:00 Bumper / Opening 1:57 Wine Trivia Question of the Week 3:07 Richard Bachman / Stephen King 7:32 George Linder and The Running Man 11:29 Screenwriter Steven E
