videoThe Wines of Azienda Agricola Azelia
Description Written by Chat GPT There are estates that produce Barolo, and then there are estates that interpret it. During a recent tasting of the wines from Azienda Agricola Azelia, the distinction became beautifully clear. Based in Castiglione Falletto in the heart of the Barolo zone, this historic family estate crafts Nebbiolo with both reverence and quiet confidence. Philosophy and Style Founded in 1920 and now led by Luigi Scavino and his son Lorenzo, Azelia bridges tradition and precision. The approach is unmistakably classic: long macerations, large oak botti, and an emphasis on vineyard expression over cellar imprint. The wines speak fluently of site, vintage, and Nebbiolo’s naturally aristocratic structure. Barolo Bricco Fiasco From old vines in Castiglione Falletto, Bricco Fiasco reveals darker fruit tones — black cherry, plum skin, and iron — layered with balsamic notes and wild herbs. The structure here is deeper and more vertical. There is an almost architectural pre

podcast· 2h 05m· S6E68From a Chaotic and Violent Upbringing to Homeless & Smoking Crack on the Streets of San Diego, to Relapsing on Fentanyl after TWELVE Years of Sobriety, Steve is Rebuilding at Sixty
Note from Jeannine: I am so honored to introduce you guys to Steve Ellis, the sober living house manager that saved my life. Many of my stories are about Steve and the wisdom he shared with me in the darkest days of my active addiction and early sobriety. His insight and way of speaking to me was instrumental in my success in sobriety. Please let me know what you think! Episode Description: In this powerful episode, I sit down with Steve Ellis, a man whose story of survival, relapse, redemption, and resilience will stay with you long after you listen. Steve grew up bouncing between Chicago, Alabama, and San Diego. Initially able to escape a choatic home life through sports, most notably as a standout basketball star, a career ending injury in high school left him discouraged about his future, and by the age of 21, he was addicted to crack and living on the streets of downtown San Diego. He spent over a decade homeless, cycling in and out of prison, until he got sober at 32. For the nex
podcast· 19:31The Woman Who Doesn't Need Alcohol
Ever wonder who you’d be without the wine? In this personal and powerful episode, I reflect on how creating a sacred space for women—where we gather weekly over iced tea and flowers—revealed the essence of my own transformation. What started as a dream of women’s retreats manifested in a flower farm. And what I thought would be found through achievement, I discovered through simplicity, presence, and letting go of alcohol. Midlife sobriety is more than just quitting drinking—it's a rite of passage we were never taught to honor. And when you pair it with the hormonal shifts of perimenopause and menopause, something magical happens: you reclaim your energy, your intuition, and your power. We explore: What it really means to meet your future self Why letting go of outcomes opens the door to unexpected joy How sobriety teaches you to trust your desires more than your conditioning Using perimenopause as a sacred portal, not a problem to fix Replacing perfectionism with consistency and self-

video£8.79 Australian Shiraz – Better Than We Expected? (Episode 552)
In this episode of Wine Mastery, we taste an Australian Shiraz priced at £8.79 — a wine that challenges expectations right from the start. Shiraz has a reputation for being big, bold, and sometimes overpowering, and going into this tasting, we weren’t entirely convinced it would suit our palate. But as always, wine has a way of surprising you. From the outset, the wine shows a deep, rich purple colour, exactly what you’d expect from a classic Shiraz. On the nose, we found: • Pepper and spice • Smoky notes • Dark fruit, including blackcurrant • A hint of sour cherry There’s plenty going on aromatically, with a complexity that suggests this could be more than just a typical budget Shiraz. On the palate, this wine takes a slightly different direction… Instead of being heavy and aggressive, it’s noticeably lighter, smoother, and more approachable than expected. The fruit comes through more clearly, with cherry and spice leading the way, supported by soft tannins and a balanced fini

podcast· 11:34· S1E39039 The Question to Ask Yourself That Changes Everything with Drinking
🎧 The Question to Ask Yourself That Changes Everything with Drinking In this episode, I dive into a powerful question that changed everything for me in my sobriety journey—and how it might shift things for you too. Here’s what we cover: 🌀 Understanding Grey Area Drinking (starts at 0:13) I explain what “grey area drinking” actually is—the space between not drinking at all and full-blown alcohol dependency. If you’ve ever found yourself trying to take breaks, then starting again, you’re not alone. 💡 The Key Question That Helped Me Break the Cycle (starts at 2:42) I share the simple but game-changing question I asked myself: “Is this taking me further towards or away from feeling good, feeling well?” This mindset shift was the beginning of real, lasting change. 🍷 The Truth About Alcohol’s So-Called Health Benefits (starts at 4:30) We take a look at the outdated ideas around alcohol being “good for you,” and I unpack what the latest research says instead. 🧠 Challenging the Lies That
