How to Choose Sober Living Homes Near Me (and Why Starting in Detox or Inpatient Often Works Best)
Sober living homes are drug- and alcohol-free houses where people in recovery live together while they rebuild daily routines, practice coping skills, and stay accountable. Many states use the term “recovery residences” to describe these homes and define them as safe, healthy, family-like, substance-free environments that support people in recovery from substance use disorder.

News from Champagne that you may not find elsewhere
JANUARY 2026 A selection of less well-known news stories from Champagne Since we are still only a couple of weeks into 2026, I hope it’s not too late to wish you and yours a very Happy New Year. Since we share a common interest in champagne, I thought you might be intrigued by this light-hearted selection of news from Champagne that you probably won’t find anywhere else. I hope you enjoy the read and do feel free to let me know if you have any questions or comments “Welcome to the vineyards of Verzy. The most beautiful in all of Champagne.” There are some 320 villages in Champagne, and I imagine that the inhabitants of each one feel that their village is the best. Whatever the truth of the matter, Verzy must have a claim to be at the top of the list. Of course, I’m biased because I lived there for 20 years or so, but I am not alone in my opinion. The quotation above is from the opening lines of the film Widow Clicquot , spoken by Monsieur Clicquot to his young bride — before she tragic

Qi
I’ve been practicing Hanzi , timidly, trying to memorise all those odd looking squiggles and lines, consistently messing up the stroke order and direction. It is curiously satisfying. Trying to understand what each character represents and how it has changed over time. Each character pregnant with meta data.  Today I learnt the character for Qi.  气. On 3000 year old oracle bones it is represented by three horizontal lines, representing the three treasures. Essence, energy and body and mind. Three lines to capture the intangible. . .  You could characterise a wine in these terms. . . Essence being what is imparted by the terroir and season and the hand of the maker. Qi is more about what is in the glass, is the wine alive, is there a spark of energy or is it fading and quiet?  Qi is often equated to the life force, or vitality, or breath. It’s an elusive concept for the Western mind, which thinks of energy in terms of mitochondria and sleep, glucose and caffeine, swi

Rum Club Private Selection #60 Galapagos Islands 2015 10YO Rum (Ecuador) – Review
The practise of wine and spirits merchants releasing their own branded products is a long and storied one, going back more than a century (think of Berry Bros. and Rudd, Doorly’s, Goslings, or even Masters of Malt, as just a few examples). They acted, therefore, as progenitors and continuations of the indie bottling scene that [Click here for the full review...]

Slow Down & Tune In
January has a funny way of making us feel like we should already be sprinting. New goals, new plans, new versions of ourselves — all of it arrives at once. But here at Wildside, we believe winter invites something different. It invites us to slow down. This week at the winery is built around exactly that: quiet moments, meaningful connection, and giving yourself permission to linger a little longer than you normally would.
