Big brands are still a small part of the marketPremiumization helping imports, including New Zealand Sauvignon BlancWine buying trendsConsumers are called to authenticity - they want to know what's in their wine, the appellation, sustainability, and organicConvenience - cans, seltzer, ready to drink Premiumization - $10-20/bottle, $30-50/bottle, up to $100/bottle (e.g., high-end Bordeaux, Napa Cabernet) ranges all doing well, some categories accelerating with potential out-of-stocksCovid trends - return to cooking, consumers go to Albertson's as a one-stop-shopWith restaurants reopening, a little bit of regression in sales, but still robust as cooking at home has been stickyCustomer demographics (for wine)Gen X / Baby Boomers - still buying a lot (more in bulk and volume), but less than beforeMillennials are the new customers - buying more, less loyal to wine vs. other drinks, and have less expendable income; their preferences are different from Gen X and Baby BoomersTo meet the changing demographics, Curtis looks forward 3-5 years to develop his shelf set/selections of wineConsiderable diversity of reasons people buy wine - occasion based purchasing (e.g., going to a party)Many people exploring and learning about wine (proof point - the massive increase in people taking WSET classes, including lots of consumers, not just professionals)Promotions / discountingLimited brand loyalty in wine, customers often default to priceGiven that, promotions are pretty importantWe need to work between price and product to optimize sales and not over-rely on priceWine selectionWhat does it mean to customers? Each wine must have a purpose vs. the other ~1,500 SKUs on the shelfThis could be style, story, or location/appellationWant to remove redundancy on the shelfTagline - ‘locally great, nationally strong'; try to give local stores more voice (e.g., Portland stores have more Willamette Valley Pinot Noirs)Flagship Stores (e.g., Andronico's, Pavilions) - higher-end, eclectic offeringsSteps to sell into Alberston's - have the 4 P's put together - distribution network, pricing, product, and where you fit on the shelfGenerally need to place wine 4-6 months in advanceIt requires a UPC code on the bottlePrivate Label / “Own Brand” winesThe goal is to provide the best price to value for customersThe intent is to drive loyaltyNot a dominant part of the businessTrying to create wines that are a draw and get good scoresSelection is built around education, desire to learn about wine category through own brandsSuppliers have connections to maintain supply, which can help Own Brands overcome supply challenges (e.g., 2020 Napa, 2021 New Zealand)Digital AdoptionVirtual tastings - have done well, 1,000s of people sign up, people buy the wines beforehand or buy wines later and watch the tasting on YouTubeAppeals to groups of customers who don't get to visit wine countryWill continue post-CovidDo education tastings 1x/monthKeys to engagement - consumers have lots of questionsThe team engages with customers via chatKeep it educational - need a balance of explaining concepts but keep it understandableConsumers using their phones more for education want to reduce the complexity of wineWine e-commerce - working on expanding this, challenging due to state regulationsExpanding drive up and go (“DOAG”)Delivery (e.g. - Instacart) growingStill a small portion of salesCore elements of success for the grocery channelThe selection keeps people in the storeRelating the wine to the food in the store (food - wine pairing)E-commerceConvenience (e.g., ready to drinks)

RMC est une radio généraliste, essentiellement axée sur l'actualité et sur l'interactivité avec les auditeurs, dans un format 100% parlé, inédit en France. La grille des programmes de RMC s'articule autour de rendez-vous phares comme Apolline Matin (6h-9h), les Grandes Gueules (9h-12h), Estelle Midi (12h-15h), Super Moscato Show (15h-18h), Rothen s'enflamme (18h-20h), l'After Foot (20h-minuit).

Cahors is the best-known appellation in Southwest France, likely because the wine of the region is based off a grape everyone knows: Malbec.  Source: https://vindecahors.fr/ Made around the town of Cahors, 160km/100 mi east of Bordeaux, this region hugs the river Lot, and stretches over slopes with such varied soil, each wine is a story of terroir in a bottle. The unique land, combined with an ideal climate, and a history of winemaking that goes back to the Romans contributes to the special combination that creates this earthy, dark fruited, herbal, and powerful red. If you haven't tried this Old World style of Malbec, after this show, you will be excited to see what you may be missing! Here are the show notes: Here Malbec is AKA -- Auxerrois, Côt (COE). It must be 70% of the blend – the balance is made up with Merlot, or less commonly Tannat. Any white or rosé made in the region is categorized IGP Côtes du Lot   The planted vineyard area is 3,323 ha/8,211 acres but it stretches across 21,700 hectares/53,622 acres over 45 communes along a section of the River Lot around the town of Cahors   Most of the winemakers here are independent, private wineries (75%) with just 25% members of the co-op, an impressive breakdown in a smaller region! 75% of the winemakers are working sustainably, with 31% converting to organic or already certified organic. The climate of Cahors represents a combination of influences, as the region is about the same distance from Atlantic, Mediterranean, and Pyrenees Mountains. The summers are hot, the fall is dry, and the lack of rain means the roots dig deep to look for nutrients, giving more character to the wine. The Massif Central to the east occasionally blows cold air in the winter, which can cause deep freezes (we go into the endo and eco dormancy, very dorky!). Source: Getty Images via Canva The terroir of Cahors is, to me, the most interesting thing about the area. Most vineyards lie in terraces that are carved out by the river Lot. We discuss the two main areas – the Lot Valley alluvial terraces and the limestone plateau known as the Causses. The Lot Valley, representing 60% of the wine made, has several terraces with gravelly, sandy deposits that range in age from 20,000 years old to 1 million years old. These wines tend to be fruitier, more floral, and lighter in style.  The Causses is at elevation and represents slopes covered in clay, limestone, and marl with red, iron-rich soils in some spots. They represent ~ 40% of the vineyard and these wines are more tannic, complex, and age worthy. Styles of Cahors: Given the varied terroir, some styles are fruitier and some are earthier. Many have flavors and aromas of fruits and flowers, spice, herbs, and cedar, with underbrush and licorice. They can be dark in color and higher in alcohol. Some are quite tannic, especially those with Tannat as a component. Softer versions have a bigger component of Merlot.   We end the podcast with a comparison of Argentinean Malbec, noting that Argentina's Malbec is fruitier, more plummy with soft tannins, higher alcohol, and fine to drink on its own because of its easy to drink profile. Cahors, on the other hand is more tannic, earthier, with more acidity, and may pair better with food because the tannins are firmer, acidity higher. Source: Getty Images via Canva   If you've never tried Cahors, hopefully this will convince you to get a bottle and see what the Malbec of the Old World has to offer!   Much of the information for this podcast is from: https://vindecahors.fr/   ________________________________________________________________ Thanks to our sponsors this week: Our new sponsor: Wine Spies!

Anlässlich der Masterclass Verkostung – around the world wurde ich vom Hotelchef und Sommelier Daniele in das Hotel Plan de Gralba nach Südtirol eingeladen. Neben der Masterclass Verkostung - zu der es noch einen Bericht geben wird – nahmen wir uns die Zeit einen Podcast aufzunehmen. Daniele verfügt über eine fundierte und weitreichende Expertise zum Thema Wein, die schlichtweg beeindruckend ist. Gemeinsam grasen wir in gut 50 Minuten verschiedenste Themen ab, worunter es mir ein großes Anliegen war, herauszustellen was denn einen Spitzenwein wirklich außergewöhnlich macht. Wo findet man diese Weine, wie kann ich sie kaufen, wie verkoste ich solche Tropfen und wie entwickelt sich die Weinwelt in den kommenden Jahren? Wie verhält es sich beispielsweise mit Fälschungen aus Bordeaux und Burgund und worauf muss ich beim Kauf achten? Während unseres Gesprächs verkoste ich außerdem blind einen von Daniele ausgewählten Wein. Ob ich die Rebsorte und den Jahrgang herausfinde?

Le 14 octobre 1978, dans la matinée, deux caissières comptent la recette de l'hypermarché Mammouth d'Albi de la veille. Les deux femmes n'ont pas le temps de finir que deux hommes armés font irruption dans les locaux. Ils braquent les employées terrorisées. Les deux hommes sont calmes, à visage découvert et rassurent les deux femmes. Le duo embarque la recette de 293.000 francs et prend la fuite à bord d'une Simca 1100 garée sur le parking. Quelques jours plus tard, la PJ de Bordeaux signale un nouveau braquage d'hypermarché commis par deux individus. Il s'agit des mêmes hommes qui ont à nouveau agi à visage découvert.

Sommelier turned wine consultant turned online wine retailer.  Thatcher Baker-Briggs, Founder of Thatcher's Wine Consulting, has continued to evolve and expand his presence, helping clients drink better and navigate some of the intricacies of Burgundy and other fine and geeky wines.  He tells us about his journey, how email responsiveness is a competitive advantage, and how he believes some of the distribution allocations of top European wineries need to adapt to where the demand is.  An engaging and insightful episode of XChateau! Don't forget - you can support the show on Patreon to help us keep bringing you excellent wine business content!Detailed Show Notes:Thatcher's backgroundHe started cooking at 10, worked in restaurants, was in the kitchen for ten yearsPursued sommelier route, spent time in Japan, came back to SF to work w/ Saison HospitalityHelped collectors to manage the world of Burgundy and expanded from thereLaunched a small, online boutique website pre-CovidHas both an importer and retailer license (possible in California)Import focus is on 1st and 2nd generation winemakers, often younger (in their 20s and 30s)Wine ConsultingIt started when a regular guest at the restaurant asked for personal wine consultingHe had to rely on other retailers, which was challenging for some short turnaround needs, and built a small inventory of products, which got put online for the retail armClients are on an annual retainer basis - annual necessary to set goals for the cellar and wine educationInitial clients came from personal relationshipsNew clients are mostly through existing client referralYou don't need a lot of clients to be successful and cap the client base so that each client can get enough attentionHe doesn't source exclusively from TWC retail but from a variety of sourcesChallenges with wine consulting business - dealing with an old school wine world, inventory management, logistics of getting wine, and communicating “no” to collectors can be challengingWine RetailDifferentiation - wines highly curated by the teamAbility to source wines due to decades of experience and relationships with importers and retailers from sommelier experiencesSourcing rare wine is complex, as often wines can't be fully authenticated - TWC usually takes a very conservative approach, e.g., buys DRC only with a Wilson Daniels back label and from an original buyerEssential to work with importers who are investing in building wine brandsGeneral importer margin - cost converted to local currency, 1.5x the cost plus a couple dollars/bottle for transportationSome importers take too high margins on hard to find wines, which leads TWC to need to source directly from EuropeTWC doesn't undercut the market not to upset other wine merchantsEuropean wine distribution is often flawed and challenging, creating market dislocationsE.g., Raveneau - has low ex-domaine pricing, the wine immediately sells out, the family makes a great living, and doesn't require work, but may have more wine in Switzerland than in the US where it sells for multiples higherWineries often are small businesses without a lot of people working thereNicolas Faure example - sells so cheaply ex-domaine that people buy everything upon release, primarily other retailers buying to resell for much higher levelsTechnologyHas a team of developersUses Zoho (CRM) and Shopify (E-commerce)Custom-built integration between Shopify and ZohoThe aim is to make the website faster, more efficient, have correct pricing, amongst other spaceHe believes there is a lack of core technology in the wine space, currently dominated by Wine-Searcher and CellarTrackerWine PricingBelieves Burgundy is a bubble, but it can't burst due to lack of supply (particularly with short 2019, 2020, and 2021 vintages)Prices are so high they are pricing out drinkersLinks to ThatcherInstagramThatcher's Wine Consulting

Video uploaded on YouTube on August 18, 2021Interview Highlights: Joel begins by sharing how he came to write about Grant Morrison's Batman RIP, and then we dive into many Buddhist concepts that Morrison uses in their story. As Joel explains these concepts, he also points out how Morrison uses them differently than a Buddhist practicioner would - this due to the great influence of Western occult ideas (such as initiation, the Abyss, and ego-death) taken from Aleister Crowley, among others. Our discussion points out that in fact, Morrison draws on many different sources in the creation of their Batman story, and this leads to some interesting thoughts about the notion of occulture, and creativity. You can find the pre-publication draft of Dr. Joel Bordeaux's chapter here: (PDF) “The Dark Knight of the Soul: Death as Initiatory Ordeal in Grant Morrison's Batman R.I.P.” | Joel Bordeaux - Academia.eduFull Title: 'The Dark Knight of the Soul: Death as Initiatory Ordeal in Grant Morrison's Batman RIP.

Vincent Gibelin a créé une agence spécialisée dans le viager à Bordeaux, avant d'en faire une franchise, qu'il va développer en 2022. Eclairage et précisions au micro de Fred Haffner pour Mon Podcast Immo.

Finaliste du Prix féminin de l'immobilier 2021, Nathalie Casciola a créé son agence, Casciola immobilier, à Metz en 2017 puis une succursale à Arcachon quatre ans plus tard. Dans cet épisode de Mon Podcast Immo, elle dialogue avec Fred Haffner pour nous présenter son parcours, sa stratégie de développement et faire le point sur l'évolution du marché immobilier depuis 5 ans.

SAMEDI 01 JANVIER 2022 Camille Lanyou  Camille obtient son diplôme national d'œnologue à Toulouse en 2012 puis elle part travailler à Madagascar, au Chili et en Thaïlande. Elle devient directrice du Château Picoron très récemment, c'était en juin 2021. Ce petit domaine de 4.5 hectares en conversion bio au cœur de l'appellation Castillon-Côtes de Bordeaux appartient à Glenda et Frank Kalyk, un couple australien. Ils ont à cœur de bousculer les codes du vignoble bordelais. Ces deux amoureux du vin s'entourent d'une équipe 100% féminine qui ne cesse d'expérimenter, de créer et d'innover. Les vins du domaine sont produits à partir de Merlot uniquement bénéficiant du célèbre plateau argilo-calcaire de Saint-Emilion. Le Château Picoron lance en 2021 une toute nouvelle gamme de vins atypiques. Avec seulement 4.5 ha, cinq nouvelles cuvées voient le jour. Avec, entre autres, le premier Merlot vinifié en Blanc de Noirs à Bordeaux, un Merlot en Macération Carbonique ou encore un Castillon sans bois. Chacun de ces vins est une expression singulière du Merlot.   Anne-Laure Sicard  C'est après des études d'ingénieure agronome à Montpellier et 7 vinifications à travers le monde comme "flying winemaker" qu'Anne-Laure s'installe sur la commune de Saint Privat dans le Larzac. En 2015, elle crée le Mas Lasta en reprenant 9 hectares de vignes sur les hauteurs de l'appellation Terrasses du Larzac entre de 350m à 500m d'altitude. Ces vignes peu mécanisables étaient destinées à l'arrachage. Elle a commencé par réhabiliter des terrasses et de vieilles vignes de Grenache. Cette digne représentante de la nouvelle génération de vignerons et vigneronnes entreprend une culture vertueuse en bio avec des travaux en traction animal, la plantation d'arbres fruitiers et une vinification naturelle. Actuellement le Mas Lasta produit 4 cuvée : un pétillant naturel, un blanc de noir de Grenache, le Languedoc rouge et le Terrasses du Larzac.  

Pip just wanted one more case. A clear case that is black and white with no grey in-between. She thought a cold case was her perfect opportunity...until dead pigeons and headless chalk figures ended up outside her own house. Now it's her own life that she needs to save. Can she save herself before she disappears? Will anyone look for her when she's gone? Join the Rosé Girls this week we we discuss As Good As Dead the last book in the A Good Girl's Guide to Murder trilogy, by Holly Jackson. Pip has a grand last adventure before college, and this book will keep you wanting more! You can also drink along with us as we enjoy a bottle of Chateau Les Aubiers 2016 Bordeaux. And...We Clink

[REDIFFUSION] Quel est le coût environnemental caché derrière l'arbre de Noël dans notre salon? En clair, peut-on encore couper des sapins juste pour fêter Noël en 2021?La réponse courte est oui, sans hésitation.

This week on 5.6.7.EIGHT, Aleksandra speaks with Alexandra Damiani, Artistic Director at BJM-Les Ballets Jazz De Montréal. Alexandra was classically trained in dance in and around her home country of France. After winning the jeune ballet d'Aquitaine de Bordeaux competition in France, she received a scholarship to the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater in the US and has since danced at a variety of companies — including the company where she is now Artistic Director. Alexandra also has experience in the music and film industries, including an appearance in the acclaimed film Black Swan. For Alexandra, some of her most formative years as an artist — and as a human — were her years in New York City. Upon landing in the United States, this city filled her with awe and curiosity around all areas of the arts and helped rid her of any anxiety and fear as a citizen in a foreign land. On the podcast, Alexandra discusses the modern dance industry and walks through her entire career but, most notably, shares why the “Big Apple” holds a special place in her heart.   Moving Quotes: "Suddenly every conditioning I had, every expectation, every demand I was putting on my own body to be a dancer — all of that just exploded. In a moment, suddenly everything was possible. That was New York, for me." "For the arts, the pandemic is a crucible. This is how we get clearer and stronger. And we can show what we're made of, in a way. There are huge opportunities, if we don't let fear paralyze us." "Voice lessons and theater and, really, anything will add to your dance resumé. I think, more and more, choreographers want to have dancers who can really offer something." "You can't be a contemporary dance company and not be a mirror of the society you are a part of." "I feel very grateful that I have a voice and a platform so that I can be an example for my daughter — for my young dancers — and contribute in that way. At the same time, I don't have all the answers [for achieving female equality in dance leadership]. But we're at the start of a very long journey." "Ultimately, leading this company is not about me. It's about me with the team, at the service of this dance company from Montreal. From Quebec. From Canada. And I like that challenge — that it will be a balancing act between just the right amount of history and innovation... It's a dance." "For me, dance has no borders."   Bullet Points (w/ timestamps) - Highlighting key topics discussed: 2:50: Alexandra, who previously danced for BJM-Les Ballets De Montréal, discusses what it's like to come back and now serve as artistic director. 3:57: Alexandra shares some lessons learned in her time as a performer that she hopes to implement as artistic director. 6:42: Damiani explains how she hopes to bring her own personality to her artistic direction, while maintaining the rich culture of BJM-Les Ballets De Montréal. 10:08: Damiani predicts her biggest challenge as she takes the reigns as artistic director. 14:02: Alexandra describes her excitement to be a woman in dance leadership, at this pivotal time when that male-centric culture is beginning to change.  18:37: Damiani, who has appeared in feature films like Black Swan, discusses her involvement in the music and film industry. 22:54: Alexandra retells stories from her life-changing years in New York City and how that time period came to define her as a dancer and as a person. 31:38: Alexandra imparts some advice to aspiring dancers who are hoping to succeed in the industry.   Bullet List of Resources –  Alexandra Damiani Company Website LinkedIn Instagram BJM-Les Ballets Jazz De Montréal Company Website Instagram Twitter Facebook YouTube

Is Périgueux on your list of places you might like to visit in France? It's indeed a great city with roots into the times of the Roman "occupation" of France and a beautiful Renaissance neighborhood. The area is famous for its gastronomy and pleasant way of life. Let's get the names straight first. Périgueux is in the Périgord, and isn't that a tongue twister for English speakers? But today it's in the department of the Dordogne and the New Aquitaine region, which means it falls under the jurisdiction of Bordeaux for administrative purposes. Long ago the name Périgord covered all the lands that belonged to the counts of Périgord and so you'll find both names to this day: Dordogne and Périgord. The city today is about 65,000 people within city limits and 150,000 if you count all the towns that surround it, so it's a medium size French city.

2021.  A year with big expectations.  The re-opening of economies around the world with Covid vaccines in distributions instead led to fits and starts with the Delta and Omicron variants.  Wine pricing and costs went through gyrations with the tariffs between the EU and US imposed and then lifted and supply chain disruptions creating both cost and availability issues.  And clean and natural wines continued to become a broader topic amongst wine consumers and the trade who struggle with their definitions and impact.  XChateau assembled a panel across the wine value chain (Producer - Diana Snowden Seysses of Snowden Vineyard and Domaine Dujac;  Importer - Xavier Barlier of MMD; Distributor - Michael Papaleo of Banville Wine Merchants; Retailer - Kyle Meyer of The Wine Exchange; and Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW of The Wine Advocate) to discuss these issues and answer audience questions live on Clubhouse.  A wide-ranging and captivating conversation!Also, people have asked us how they can support the show.  So, we recently launched on  Patreon, where your contributions will help keep the wine business content flowing! Detailed Show Notes: Panelists: Producer perspective - Diana Snowden Seysses, winemaker at Snowden Vineyards in Napa & Domaine Dujac in BurgundyImporter perspective, Xavier Barlier, SVP of Marketing & Communications for Maison Marques & Domaines USA, the importation arm of Champagne Louis Roederer and related companiesDistributor perspective - Michael Papaleo, VP of Sales at Banville Wine Merchants, an importer and distributor focused on the New York, New Jersey, and Mid-Atlantic regionRetailer perspective - Kyle Meyer, Managing Partner of The Wine Exchange, a leader wine retailer in Orange County, CaliforniaWine Critic / Reviewer perspective - Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW, Editor-in-Chief of Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate for the last 13 yearsTopic: Re-opening from CovidDiana - producers in Napa and France weren't required to close. Their biggest concern was keeping employees safeMike - learned how to conduct non-in-person sales (online and on the phone) by creating compelling content and using humor to find ways to engage accountsLuxury wines did well - the average case price pre-pandemic was $136/case; increased by $30/caseOn-premise recovered, but not all the way - 2019 - 55% on-premise, 2020 - 27% on-premise, 2021 - 44% on-premiseCollectors who were drinking through their wines started re-filling their cellarsBanville Wine Merchants was able to expand through the crisis (headcount went from 12 salespeople in 2020 to 16 in 2021, with 21 expected in 2022)Kyle - 2020 Q2/3 - online orders went up dramatically - people bought everything2020 Q4 - needed more inventory, supply chain issues created lack of access that persisted into 2021A lot of people are now comfortable buying wine online, do to a big pick up business75% of sales online pre-Covid, now 85-90%2021 felt more normal, like 2018 (2019 had issues w/ tariffs, etc.)Xavier - MMD's luxury portfolio was positioned mainly towards on-premise Pivoted to off-premise (e.g., high-end Safeway stores in Los Angeles)Champagne shortages in 2021 - Roederer is sold out, pricing of Champagne is higher than it was before, bubbly is more popular than everLisa - The Wine Advocate piggybacked on the success of online wine sales -> web views were up 10x vs. pre-Covid, subscriptions showed strong growth, but not as much as web viewsEvents had to be canceled in 2020, tastings re-factored, including re-packaging wines into little bottles for tastingsPulled off some events (e.g., Kings of Rhone, Bordeaux 2010)End of 2021 - lots of Zoom fatigue, people want in-person events, but push for smaller events (e.g., masterclasses, dinners) to avoid large groupsHope to keep some virtual events in the future w/ hybrid elementsXavier - used to have to travel a lot before, pivoting to virtual staff training in the B2B context in 2021 was more efficient and convenientTopic: Inflation / Wine PricingKyle - some prices have gone up, but more steady than expectedCA prices are going up because of the light 2020 vintage (fires)Bordeaux 2020 releases prices much higherBurgundy - pretty steady pricing with slight increasesGermany - top producers are increasing prices as they were underpriced beforeXavier - w/ tariffs and increased shipping costs, MMD has tried to absorb the impact with their partners - sharing ⅓ producer/supplier, ⅓ importer/MMD, and ⅓ distributorMike - bought long on some products pre-tariffs, which helped through the first half of 2021Did reduce some margins and tried not to pass on increased costs to customersSome allocated Burgundy had to pass on cost increasesLisa - people looked more at domestic wines than usual, specifically 2018 and 2019 Napa wines, primarily because of 2020 fires and short vintageBordeaux 2020 is a lot higher pricing than 2019, even with a less consistent vintageDiana - had supply chain issues pre-Covid, including a glass shortage (as only river sand can be used, not desert sand)Have learned to order early to deal w/ shortages (e.g., glass, labels, capsules)Facing labor shortages globallyWineries have absorbed increased costs of glass and corksTopic: Clean & Natural WinesLisa - there is no definition of clean wine. It's just a marketing fabricationNatural wine is a misleading term as well. It means different things to different peopleKyle - no one has asked for clean wine yetCustomer curiosity around natural wine, but people believe they are faulty wines (e.g., mercaptans, Brettanomyces)Wine merchants need to educate consumers around these topicsXavier - positive part of this trend is that it creates a conversation around wineDiana - need to educate consumers around sustainability. It's positive that people are worried about the climate and sustainability. If there's no definition of the term, it becomes greenwashingAudience Questions: Matthew - how do you best educate, communicate organic sources, and implement sustainable practices without greenwashing? Lisa - be very honest about what you're doingKyle - make them “a” point vs. “the” point, the wine should be “the” point, make the best wine you canZiad - how is the wine sector coping with climate change? Lisa - need to live w/ extreme events (e.g., wildfires, water shortages) more frequently, all over the worldXavier - Piemonte & Champagne have benefitted from climate change, and some have adapted winemaking; e.g., Louis Roederer has evolved their Brut Premier multi-vintage wine to “Collection 242,” a new multi-vintage wine that will have a unique number and release each year as the wine is now based around a single vintageDiana - there are two conversations - one on adaptation and one on decelerating climate change through GHG emission reductionsAdaptation - France has to deal with frost issues, especially in Burgundy, Napa has drought and heat

Comment, derrière les murs d'un château ancestral du Lot-et-Garonne, puis dans une maison en Angleterre, un seul homme, pendant dix ans, a séquestré, isolé, asservi toute une famille de riches aristocrates de 16 à 87 ans ? Il a méthodiquement dépouillé cette famille, les Védrines, de leur fortune de près de cinq millions d'euros, mais surtout de leur bien le plus précieux : le fil de leur vie. Une famille qui sera surnommée les Reclus de Monflanquin, du nom du château qu'ils vont perdre lors de ce voyage hors du temps. Sous l'emprise d'un gourou, d'un directeur de conscience, appelé Thierry Tilly. Tilly, en 2013, sera condamné par la Cour d'appel de Bordeaux à 10 ans de prison pour "escroquerie, abus de faiblesse, extorsion de fonds, séquestration avec actes de tortures et de barbarie". Il a tout simplement vampirisé, financièrement et moralement, une famille pendant une décennie.

This week, we sit down with Dr. Lionel Yaceczko to discuss his new book on the fourth century Roman grammarian, Ausonius of Bordeaux.  In looking at his life, we dive deeper into various aspects of classical education.  As Ausonius lived through an important period of religious, political, and cultural change, considering his life also affords us the opportunity to think about how the advent of Christianity affected (and continues to affect) classical education.   With Christmas fast approaching, perhaps this discussion may serve to remind us that teaching is pointing and that its ultimate purpose is to point us to the Teacher.   Show Highlights  Who is Ausonius and why should educators study him?  The life and times of a Roman teacher, beaurocrat, and Christian convert  What Ausonius's life can teach about classical education  What is a Quaestor?  What is a grammaticus? A rhetor? Education in Late Antiquity  The most egalitarian form of elitism? How the liberal arts can liberate  The importance of memorization in education  How the advent of Christianity changed classical education  A new canon for education: introducing Sacred Scripture to the liberal arts  May I be so bold? Rhetoric and persuasion in Late Antiquity What is a litterator?

How vitamin D delivers on cardio health University of South Australia, December 6, 2021 Free from the sun, vitamin D delivers a natural source for one of the hormones essential to our bodies, especially the bones. But when you're down on this essential nutrient, it's not only your bones that could suffer, but also your cardio health, according to new research from the University of South Australia. In the first study of its kind, researchers from the UniSA's Australian Centre for Precision Health at SAHMRI have identified genetic evidence for a role of vitamin D deficiency in causing cardiovascular disease. The study, which is published in European Heart Journal today, shows that people with vitamin D deficiency are more likely to suffer from heart disease and higher blood pressure, than those with normal levels of vitamin D. For participants with the lowest concentrations the risk of heart disease was more than double that seen for those with sufficient concentrations. (NEXT) Sleep technique improves creative thinking A team of researchers working at Sorbonne Université, reports that people may be more creative if awoken just after falling asleep. In their paper published in the journal Science Advances, the group describes experiments they conducted with sleeping volunteers. Thomas Edison and Salvador Dali were both known to use a certain sleep technique to increase their creativity. It involved thinking about a problem or set of circumstances and then placing an object in their hand as they lay down for a nap. As they drifted off, their hand relaxed and allowed the object to fall to the floor rousing them from their sleep. It was at that point, they both claimed, that inspiration came to them. In this new effort, the researchers tested this idea. Prior research has shown that in addition to REM sleep and deep sleep, most people experience a type of sleep known as N1—the short interval between being fully awake and fully asleep, a sort of twilight zone. It was this interval that the researchers set out to test. They recruited 103 healthy people who promised they had little difficulty falling asleep given the chance. (NEXT) Link between intestinal inflammation and microbiome Kiel University, November 30, 2021 Around 500 to 1,000 different types of bacteria, fungi and other microorganisms colonize our intestines. All of them together form the intestinal microbiome. As we now know, these microbes play an important role in maintaining health. This is especially evident when the composition of the microbiome becomes unbalanced, as is the case in people with chronic inflammatory bowel diseases. PD Dr. Felix Sommer and his team from the Cluster of Excellence Precision Medicine in Chronic Inflammation (PMI) are trying to better understand the complex interactions between the host and their microbiome. While doing so, they encountered an enzyme called hexokinase 2 (HK2). The HK2 enzyme is produced in greater quantities in the event of inflammation and is regulated by the microbiome. "We were able to show in the animal model that by administering the short-chain fatty acid butyrate, the HK2 levels in intestinal epithelial cells were lowered and inflammation was ameliorated. The protective effect of the fatty acid butyrate produced by bacteria was absent in animals where the HK2 enzyme was removed," explained Sommer, head of the Functional Host-Microbiome Research working group at the Institute of Clinical Molecular Biology (IKMB) at Kiel University (CAU) and the University Medical Center Schleswig-Holstein (UKSH), Campus Kiel. The results of the study have been published in the renowned scientific journal Cell Metabolism. (NEXT) Cognitive aging: Work helps our brain University of Padua (Italy), December 9, 2021 A recent study shows that work plays an active role in keeping our brains healthy. "We have demonstrated the role of working activity on cognitive performance". Professor Raffaella Rumiati says. From our analysis it emerges that the type of work activity also contributes to the differences in normal and pathological cognitive aging”. The analysis surprisingly shows that occupation is a good predictor of participants' performance in addition to age and education, two factors that have been already studied. (NEXT) Dementia risk reduced by eating grapes, according to UCLA researchers University of California at Los Angeles,   December 12, 2021 Evidence has emerged that ordinary grapes – one of the most loved (refreshing) snacks – can be a powerful ally against dementia. Researchers found that grapes can have significant effects on preventing cognitive decline in older adults – and may even help prevent the development of Alzheimer's disease. In a placebo-controlled study published in January in Experimental Gerontology, men and women with mild cognitive decline were given either freeze-dried grape powder or a placebo daily for six months. PET scans were used to evaluate cognitive performance and changes in brain metabolism, both before and after treatment. (NEXT) A diet rich in plant-based products reduces the risk of cognitive impairment in the elderly University of Barcelona (Spain), December 9, 2021 A diet rich in plant products reduces the risk of cognitive impairment and dementia in the elderly. This European study, part of the Joint Programming Initiative "A Healthy Diet for a Healthy Life" (JPI HDHL), was carried out over 12 years with the participation of 842 people aged over 65 in the Bordeaux and Dijon regions (France). The study analyses the relationship between the metabolism of dietary components, intestinal microbiota, endogenous metabolism and cognitive impairment. (OTHER NEWS NEXT) Voicemail: ‪(862) 800-6805 

RECUT from Episode 106: Many people who use substances say that they create a deeper connection with “god,” “nature” or their own “spiritual” selves. Yet most organized religions are averse to plant medicines including psilocybin, ayahuasca, peyote and cannabis. Christians call these entheogens (plants that when ingested produce higher states of consciousness) false gods and warn against them for a host of reasons, primarily because they don't want adherents straying from the flock.Buddhists use different words but similarly proscribe intoxicants that lead users into states of “mindlessness” or “carelessness.” But as an intermittent traveler in spiritual circles I can assure you substance use among Western spiritual teachers is far more widespread than openly admitted. So many of them use psychedelics and cannabis, but maintain a well-guarded “conspiracy of silence,” as this week's guest, Stephen Batchelor, puts it.Batchelor is an esteemed teacher, writer, artist, and Buddhist scholar, who is best known for his secular approach to Buddhism and his openness to using entheogens to deepen his own contemplative practices. At 18, he went to India, where he was ordained as a Buddhist monk in 1974. He traveled, first to Germany and then South Korea, where he left the Tibetan tradition to train in Zen Buddhism. But in 1985 he disrobed, married and moved to France, where he and his wife still live in a small village near Bordeaux. His work has centered around developing a more modern, universalist approach to Buddhism, one that integrates the truths of tradition with the needs of our time.“The bulk of Buddhist teachers set out on this path through psychedelics and cannabis in the 1960s and 70s,” Batchelor, 68, told me. “But Buddhism, for many reasons, is too trapped in its own history. It appears user friendly but scratch the surface and you'll hit a bedrock of moralism. It's heavily committed to certain dogmas that it won't or can't release.”If you are interested in Batchelor's secular approach to this religion, I recommend Buddhism Without Beliefs, Confession of a Buddhist Atheist, and his most recent, The Art of Solitude, which was written before COVID but helped me mightily during the darker days of lockdown and forced isolation. It's my honor to have Stephen as a guest and my pleasure to share the conversation with you.
