The Mariners made a big picture decision yesterday and slotted Emerson Hancock into Luis Castillo's scheduled start, opting to bring their aces against the Rangers this weekend. What did we think of the decision? We are ok with it and they almost pulled it off! :30- Mariners Morning After- Hancock holds the White Sox to 2 runs and Mariners magic was alive again in the 9th inning, but fell short in the 10th as the Mariners lose to the Sox 3-2. They win the series, and that's the goal every time! :45- Booze Clues! We have WA Brewers Fest tickets to give away, so we play a little game of Booze Clues!

 Everyone has filtration problems, so it's a blessing that folks like Stephen Daniels and the people of FILTROX innovate filtration technologies for the beverage industry. Stephen currently serves as the Business Development and Sales Manager at FILTROX, where he has been working since 2014.

 In a competitive space like the liquor and spirits industry, it's almost impossible to come up with a name for your business. So, Michael McGeary—who holds a Bachelor's degree in Philosophy from Colorado College—drew inspiration from the ideals he aspires to: he looked at Aristotle and his eudaimonia, the principle of living well and finding meaning in life. Thus, Euda Wine was born. Alongside his wife, Abi, Michael runs Euda Wine in Old Fort, North Carolina and is focused on crafting transparent, authentic, and minimal-intervention wines. In this episode, Mike and I discuss the origin story of Euda Wine. We explore the challenges of naming a winery in a competitive industry. We describe the growing collaboration in the alcohol industry and how it can lead to innovative and unique products.

 Many philosophers are linked to wine, but Michael McGeary isn't simply “linked” to wine—he's a winemaker extraordinaire and the owner of Euda Wine, where he crafts minimal intervention wines. After graduating with a Bachelor's degree in Philosophy from Colorado College, Michael moved to Aspen, Colorado, where he found his love of wine while working in restaurants. He further pursued his passion for winemaking by getting a post-bachelor education at Napa Valley College and later receiving a Master of Science in Viticulture and Enology at the University of Applied Science and Arts of Western Switzerland. Today, in addition to his work as the owner of Euda Wine, Michael also serves as a technical sales representative for Enartis. In this episode, Michael and I explore his unconventional route to the wine industry—starting with a philosophy degree. We discuss the unexpected journey that led him to Switzerland for a Master's in Viticulture and Enology. We consider the steps he took to choose a wine school and discuss the value of investing in your own education.
