New York is home to the first bonded winery in the United States, making it one of the oldest wine regions in the the country.  The lasting effects of Proibition  made it difficult for wineries, but in the 1950s, the first vitis vinifera vines were successfully harvested. Since the 1976 passing of the New York Fram Act and the creation of the New York Wine and Gape Foundation in 1985, the NY wine industry has grown every year.  In this podcast: Pleasant Valley Wine Company - Patrick Doyle Whitecliff Vineyard - Tristan Migliore  Brotherhood Winery Brooklyn Oenology - Simone Ver Eecke Arrowhead Spring Vineyards - Robin Ross  If you like what you hear, please give us a 5 star review, so that others can find us!

The Florida weather tried to run the show, but we still pulled off a packed Walt Disney World parks trip with plenty of snacks, storms, and hard-earned tips. Five parks. Three days. Were we crazy, lucky, or smart? Yes.We start with the pre-cruise stretch: checking into Disney's Polynesian Village Resort, hopping to EPCOT, and attempting the classic “drinking around the world” challenge in World Showcase while thunder and rain keep forcing us indoors at exactly the right moments.We also share one of our favorite adult breaks at EPCOT: Geo-82, the 21+ lounge inside Spaceship Earth, plus what it's like riding Ratatouille now that the 3D is gone and how Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind hits when you catch a new song. Italy becomes our accidental home base again, and yes, we have thoughts about how easy it is to “get stuck” there once the snacks and drinks start rolling.Then we splurge at Hollywood Studios with Lightning Lane Premiere Pass and explain how it works, what it costs, and why it felt like a true game changer for doing the park in a few hours without living on our phones. After a Disney Springs errand run, we got swept away at DVC's Moonlight Magic at Typhoon Lagoon.Post-cruise, we go full bucket list with a Polynesian Bora Bora bungalow stay, Trader Sam's, and July 4 fireworks from the deck. We wrap the trip with  what was supposed to be a relaxing day, but turned into Animal Kingdom and Magic Kingdom highlights, including Nomad Lounge, a minivan pro tip, Tron, the Beak and Barrel pirate bar, and ride updates like a smoother Big Thunder and a refreshed Buzz Lightyear.Subscribe, share this with your Disney parks planning crew, and leave a rating and review so more Disney fans can find us.

How do you become a top RTD spritz brand without raising outside capital?That's the story behind Saint Spritz, the wine-based canned spritz brand inspired by Italian aperitivo culture. In this episode of Business of Drinks, we talk with Ben Patton, CEO and co-founder of Saint Spritz, about how the brand reached 55,000 nine-liter cases in 2025, grew triple digits, expanded into 43 states, and became the number-one RTD spritz — while remaining fully bootstrapped.For Ben, that constraint became a discipline.Without VC money or growth-fund capital, Saint Spritz had to measure every dollar, test small, kill what didn't work, and scale what did. The team couldn't afford to “buy” growth. They had to prove velocity.That mindset shaped everything: The early DTC launch through co-founder (The Bachelorette) JoJo Fletcher's audience, the move into national retail with Target, the buildout of a 100-person brand ambassador team, and the focus on turning shelf placement into repeat purchase.One of the biggest lessons? Getting on shelf is not the same as getting found.Because Saint Spritz is made with wine, retailers often place it in the wine aisle. But consumers shop it like an RTD canned cocktail — near High Noon, Surfside, White Claw, cold boxes, and grab-and-go occasions. Ben calls that problem “wine jail,” and says better placement can drive a 3x to 5x lift in velocity.In this episode, Ben breaks down:— How Saint Spritz used DTC demand as an early signal for retail— Why Target became the brand's first major national growth driver— What retailers need to see before expanding a brand nationally— How a bootstrapped team decides which marketing bets deserve money— Why Saint Spritz built its own ambassador team instead of relying only on third-party tasting companies— How in-store tastings can move five to six cases when the team is trained and incentivized properly— Why “accessible premium” works when the liquid, packaging, and occasion all line up— How the brand's non-alcoholic line quietly launched on Amazon and quickly became a major growth signal— Why cold-box placement may be the next big unlock as Saint Spritz expands through beer-distributor networksThis is a tactical episode for any drinks founder trying to scale without unlimited capital. Saint Spritz shows what happens when a brand combines a clear consumer occasion with disciplined spending, strong retail execution, and a relentless focus on velocity.For the latest updates, follow us:Business of Drinks website (sign up for our newsletter!)Business of Drinks YouTubeBusiness of Drinks LinkedInInstagram @bizofdrinksErica Duecy, co-host: Erica Duecy is founder and co-host of Business of Drinks and one of the drinks industry's most accomplished digital and content strategists.

In Part 2 of the Main Street Magic EPCOT World Showcase Cup, the tournament moves into the quarterfinals as our top seeds finally enter the competition and the battle for the Final Four begins. Using the same category-by-category judging system from last episode, every matchup is decided by comparing Food, Drinks, Attractions, Immersion, Shopping, Hangout Factor, Hidden Details, Festival Presence, and Overall Experience. One pavilion advances, one pavilion goes home—there are no ties and no second chances. Will top-seeded France, Mexico, and Japan prove why they earned their rankings, or will one of the opening-round winners pull off a tournament-shaking upset? From iconic restaurants and legendary snacks to immersive architecture, hidden gems, unforgettable attractions, and festival favorites, every debate brings us one step closer to crowning the ultimate World Showcase champion. Along the way, we'll share our reasoning behind every decision, revisit some of EPCOT's most beloved experiences, and probably disagree a time or two as we narrow the field from eight pavilions down to just four. Who survives? Who gets eliminated? And which pavilions will earn a coveted spot in the Final Four? Grab your bracket at WonderlandCrew.com, follow along with your own picks, and see if your championship predictions stay alive as the Main Street Magic EPCOT World Showcase Cup: The Road to the Final Four continues!

The Liqueurs of Brive-la-Gaillarde: The Secret Drinks Capital of the Corrèze | Food Tour de FranceBrive-la-Gaillarde — the largest city in the Corrèze, sitting at the point where the Massif Central meets the Dordogne Valley — has been making artisan liqueurs since 1839 and is one of the most underrated drinks destinations in France. Today's Food Tour de France episode starts in Malemort, right next to Brive, and tells the full story of a city that turned its extraordinary geographical position — close to the Cognac and Armagnac country, surrounded by walnut orchards, rich in aromatic plants from the edge of the Massif Central — into a liqueur-making tradition that has been running for nearly two centuries. At the heart of that tradition is the Maison Denoix — founded in 1839, now in its fifth generation, designated a Living Heritage Company by the French state — and its most celebrated creation, the Suprême Denoix walnut liqueur, made from green walnuts harvested around the city every mid-July and still produced from the same ancestral recipe in the same building in the centre of Brive.The episode tells the full story of the Maison Denoix — from its foundation by Pierre Lacoste in 1839 through the creation of the Quinquinoix walnut wine, aged for five years in oak barrels, to the extraordinary story of the Moutarde Violette de Brive — the violet mustard made from grape must and fine mustard seeds whose purple colour and sweet-sharp balance connects the city to a fourteenth century Pope who was born in the Corrèze and summoned a mustard maker from Turenne to his court in Avignon. We also cover the Distillerie Bellet, founded in 1922 and now in its fourth generation, whose chestnut liqueur, gentiane, pastis and absinthe draw on the botanical richness of the Massif Central edge in a completely different register to Denoix. Two distilleries. Two philosophies. One city with an extraordinary liqueur-making tradition.The Food Tour de France is a daily series running alongside the 2026 Tour de France on Fabulously Delicious — one episode for every stage start and finish. The Brive liqueurs episode connects to the broader picture of Corrèze and Dordogne food culture this part of the series has been building — from the pâté de Périgueux in Périgueux to the Monbazillac wines of Bergerac — and sits alongside these as part of one of the richest stretches of food country in the whole of France.

Chloe Frechette spent nearly a decade as executive editor at Punch, the James Beard Award–winning drinks media brand, writing seriously about cocktails and the culture around them. Then she did what most drinks writers most certainly do not do: she opened a bar. Echo Lake and Undercurrent, her two-story rum destination in Williamsburg with partner Paul McGee, opened this spring—one a breezy daiquiri bar, the other an intimate den of rare and vintage spirits. In this episode, I speak with Chloe about making the jump from writing about bars to running one, the vintage rum collection that includes pre-embargo Cuban Bacardi, and so much more. Echo Lake is at 357 Grand St, Brooklyn, NY 11211 Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Welcome to the Main Street Magic EPCOT World Showcase Cup! In this special tournament series, we're putting all 11 World Showcase pavilions head-to-head in a single-elimination bracket to determine, once and for all, which pavilion deserves to be crowned the ultimate EPCOT champion. Before the competition begins, we explain exactly how the tournament was created. Using AI analysis, rankings and opinions from some of the most trusted Disney fan sites, and our own experiences after countless visits to EPCOT, we seeded each pavilion into the bracket based on six major categories: Food, Drinks, Attractions, Immersion, Shopping, and Hangout Factor. But once the tournament starts, the seeds no longer matter—every matchup is decided one category at a time, with the winner advancing and the loser going home. After introducing the rules and revealing the full bracket, it's time for the opening play-in round. Three exciting matchups kick off the tournament as lower-seeded pavilions battle for the chance to face the top contenders waiting later in the bracket. Every debate is filled with tough decisions, surprising opinions, and plenty of Disney discussion as we compare everything from signature restaurants and iconic snacks to rides, entertainment, architecture, hidden details, and festival offerings. Who earns the first victories? Which pavilion pulls off an upset? And which favorites are waiting for their chance to enter the tournament? Welcome to the Main Street Magic EPCOT World Showcase Cup!

We'll break down what the latest heat warnings mean as temperatures rise. The countdown is on as a stinky, rare flower gets ready to bloom in the San Gabriel Valley. Plus food and culture writer Gab Chabrán shares how you can drink like a Spaniard without leaving SoCal. Support The L.A.

Neurologist Dr. David Perlmutter Explains Brain Inflammation and Alzheimer's Risk Your brain has its own immune system, and when it turns against you, it becomes the hidden driver behind Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, depression, and even long COVID. This episode hands you the science to recognize it early and reverse it. Get Dr. Perlmutter's new book Brain Defenders: https://drperlmutter.com/books/brain-defenders/ Host Dave Asprey sits down with Dr. David Perlmutter, a board-certified neurologist and six-time New York Times bestselling author whose work sits at the intersection of neurology, nutrition, and brain health. He is a Fellow of the American College of Nutrition, serves on its Board of Directors, and sits on the Editorial Board of the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease. His books, including the number one bestseller Grain Brain, span 32 languages and have sold over a million copies, and his upcoming release, Brain Defenders, explores the pivotal role of microglia, the brain's immune cells, in protecting, repairing, and reprogramming the brain for lifelong resilience. Dave and Dr. Perlmutter break down how microglia, the brain's resident immune cells, shift from a supportive state into a destructive one called M1, and why this shift, not amyloid plaque, may be the real driver of Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and other neurodegenerative conditions. They dig into why the leading amyloid-clearing drugs fail to improve cognition, what a landmark JAMA study revealed about reversing cognitive decline through lifestyle intervention alone, and why a single daily serving of ultra-processed food raised Alzheimer's risk by 13 percent in a 12.7 year study. They also cover new research on GLP-1 drugs and brain inflammation, the surprising role of gum disease and oral bacteria in dementia risk, and why 40 hertz light therapy is emerging as a low-cost tool for clearing brain plaque and calming neuroinflammation. You'll Learn: Why the shift from supportive to destructive brain immune cells may be the true root cause of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's Why leading Alzheimer's drugs fail to improve cognition, and what the original research behind the amyloid hypothesis actually showed How one daily serving of ultra-processed food raises Alzheimer's risk, and what a landmark lifestyle intervention study found instead Whether GLP-1 drugs help or harm brain inflammation, based on new Parkinson's and Alzheimer's trial data How gum disease and oral bacteria are linked to dementia, and simple daily habits that reduce that risk Why 40 hertz light therapy is emerging as a tool to clear brain plaque and calm neuroinflammation How ketones, DHA, and metabolic health protect the brain after head injury Thank you to our sponsors! - Beyond Wonderland Conference | Oct 13 - 14, 2026.

How We Seeez It! Episode 344: Big Trouble in Little China (1986) “When some wild-eyed, eight-foot-tall maniac grabs your neck, taps the back of your favorite head up against the barroom wall, looks you crooked in the eye, and asks if you've paid your dues, you just stare that big sucker right back in the eye and remember what ol' Jack Burton always says at a time like that: ‘Have ya paid your dues, Jack?' ‘Yessir, the check is in the mail.'” — Jack Burton John Carpenter's urban fantasy action-adventure turns 40 this year. Starring Kurt Russell and set in San Francisco's Chinatown, Big Trouble in Little China was released in 1986 without the fanfare it deserved. It wasn't the hit it should have been, but it found a devoted audience during the home-video era and eventually became a cult classic. Not only is it incredibly rewatchable, but repeated viewings may be required to fully understand its greatness. Join us as we discuss the movie, its wonderfully strange world, and why Jack Burton may not be quite the hero he thinks he is. As always, mix a drink, have a listen, and let us know what you think.

We have a Canadian episode. When you think summer, you naturally think Canada. Well...maybe not. Why are we featuring two beers from Canada this episode you ask. We just happened to have two Canadian beers. Brasserie du Bas Canada has been releasing a lot of great IPA's. We've been fortunate to try a few. Named after the ash tree nymphs from Greek mythology, Meliades is an American DDH IPA made with Citra, Vic Secret, Galaxy and Enigma. Bad Bones The Pain is a DIPA coming in at 8.1% ABV. Made with Nelson Sauvin and Rakau, it's an easy drinking DIPA that makes us want to try more from the brewery.   #beer #craftbeer #drinks #dipa #ipa

Down a Ryan, we soldier on and this week, we discuss things like the ending of The Bear, Larry David's new show on HBO and we bring you our review of Supergirl.

What does it take to challenge the giants of domestic light beer?In this episode of Business of Drinks, we talk with Ari Opsahl, CEO of Tivoli Brewing and Outlaw Light, about building a new light beer brand in one of the most entrenched categories in beverage alcohol.Outlaw Light is taking aim at the biggest names in beer — Bud Light, Coors Light, Busch Light, Natty Light — with a strategy that runs counter to much of the industry's premiumization playbook. Instead of asking consumers to trade up, Ari argues that light beer needed to get back to what made the category powerful in the first place: affordability, drinkability, and mass appeal.That pricing story is at the center of Outlaw's David-and-Goliath strategy. While the macro brewers have continued to raise prices, Ari saw an opening for a brand that could deliver a quality light beer at a price that felt fair to consumers. But as he explains, competing with big beer is not just about liquid or price. It means taking on decades of distributor relationships, chain-store influence, stadium sponsorships, planogram control, and what he calls the “golden handcuffs” that protect incumbent brands.Ari also gets into the unglamorous realities of scaling fast. In just a few years, Outlaw has grown from a Colorado launch to more than 1 million case equivalents annually, with ambitions to reach roughly 3 million cases in 2026. But getting there means executing across chain resets, distributor alignment, pricing, scanning, floor displays, sampling, and field sales — the operational details that often determine whether a brand actually wins at retail.We discuss:• Why affordability can be a disruptive strategy in a category dominated by legacy brands• How Outlaw Light is trying to win without a Super Bowl-sized marketing budget• Why distributor “golden handcuffs” make challenging big beer so difficult• How chain placements only matter if the brand can execute at store level• Why Outlaw invested in field sales and sampling while many brands pulled back• Why persistence — hearing “no” again and again — may be the most important founder skill of allFor anyone building, scaling, or trying to disrupt a legacy drinks category, this episode is a sharp look at how a smaller brand can find an opening against giants — and what it really takes to turn that opening into growth.For the latest updates, follow us:Business of Drinks website (sign up for our newsletter!)Business of Drinks YouTubeBusiness of Drinks LinkedInInstagram @bizofdrinksErica Duecy, co-host: Erica Duecy is founder and co-host of Business of Drinks and one of the drinks industry's most accomplished digital and content strategists.

This week we're talking about the drinks in movies that made us want to reach through the screen and take a sip. Sometimes a drink just looks so ridiculously good that it becomes as memorable as the movie itself. We're counting down some of our favorites, arguing over which ones we'd actually want to drink, which ones probably aren't nearly as good as they look, and why filmmakers are somehow able to make a simple glass of ice and liquid look absolutely incredible. It's a fun one that had us unexpectedly thirsty the entire time. —————————————————————— SPONSORS-  **Cedar Ridge - Order some and learn more at http://cedarridgewhiskey.com **K12-  See how K12 Powered Schools can help unlock your child's full potential.  Enroll online today at http://K12.com/confused  **.

Disney Springs and Disney's BoardWalk are both getting a major refresh in 2026 — and this week the Mouse Chat team breaks down every new restaurant, lounge, shop, and entertainment venue worth knowing about. From Gideon's Bakehouse's mysterious savory spin-off to a 45,000-square-foot game palace, plus the long-rumored BoardWalk additions Disney finally confirmed, here's what's coming and when. Ready to turn any of this into a trip? [Get a free, no-fee Disney World quote from Pixie Vacations »](https://pixievacations.com/get-a-quote/?utm_source=mousechat&utm_medium=shownotes&utm_campaign=july2026) ### Disney Springs — New Food & Dining **Six Ravens (Gideon's Bakehouse savory concept) — signage up, opening this summer.** The strongest "almost open" signal yet: signage is now installed at the former Art of Shaving space in The Landing, just a few doors from the original Gideon's. The signature item is the "Coffyn" — a hand pie with sandwich-style fillings wrapped in a house-made yeast roll (a nod to a medieval European pastry) — paired with smashed potatoes and dips like sweet heat and homemade honey mustard. Drinks include local beers crafted with Orlando's Sideward Brewing and The Ravenous Pig, plus root beer on tap. The name nods to the Tower of London and its legendary guardian ravens. Note for listeners: it's grab-and-go, no reservation, and **not** on the Disney Dining Plan. **Kakigori Kool (Morimoto Asia shaved-ice cart) — summer 2026.** Morimoto Asia is adding a snack cart serving Japan's kakigori shaved-ice dessert with fruity syrups and toppings, right outside the restaurant. *Building your Disney Springs dining hit list? Our agents know the new spots and the can't-miss classics — [start a free quote](https://pixievacations.com/get-a-quote/?utm_source=mousechat&utm_medium=shownotes&utm_campaign=july2026) and we'll fold it into your trip.* ### Disney Springs — Entertainment (old DisneyQuest / NBA Experience building) **LEVEL99 — opens June 29, 2026; tickets on sale June 22.** The largest LEVEL99 to date: 60+ challenge rooms and duels across a 45,000-sq-ft, two-story space, plus a chef-crafted menu with their award-winning Detroit-style pizza and a big central bar. Tickets start at $29.99 (1.5- and 2.5-hour intervals). It's the chain's fourth location after Natick, MA; Providence, RI; and Tysons, VA. Fun hooks: the first 500 guests opening day get a commemorative pin, and the date was revealed via an Instagram puzzle fans had to decode. **Vuori + Columbia Sportswear (retail).** Athletic apparel brand Vuori opens at Disney Springs this summer alongside LEVEL99 and Six Ravens, and Columbia Sportswear reopens July 24. ### Disney's BoardWalk — New Lounge, Store & Dining (the big one) Disney officially confirmed the long-rumored BoardWalk additions — all opening starting in late 2026 — finally filling in those empty buildings everyone's been speculating about. (Trying to decide where to stay near Epcot and Hollywood Studios? Listen to [Which Disney World Resort is Perfect for You?](https://mousechat.net/which-disney-world-resort-is-perfect-for-you-mouse-chat-podcast/)) **Hurly-Burly (waterfront lounge) — late 2026.** The headliner: a new waterfront lounge inspired by a historic seaside theater. By day it hosts trivia and family-friendly games; each evening it becomes a live-music venue for guests 21+. It fills the live-entertainment gap left by Jellyrolls, which closed in April 2025 after nearly 30 years. Expect coastal-inspired cocktails, light bites, and a rotating lineup of live performers. **Basin (bath & body retail) — late 2026.** The Disney Springs favorite is opening a BoardWalk location for soaps, bath bombs, bath salts, and body butters — with an interactive twist: create custom bath teas, make your own soaps, and personalize purchases with a soap embossing press, all themed to BoardWalk's vintage seaside look. **New quick-service restaurant — TBA.** Disney confirmed a new quick-service spot is planned but hasn't shared theme, menu, or opening date — more expected later this summer. We'll keep you posted. *Want a BoardWalk-area stay (BoardWalk Inn, Beach Club, or the Swan & Dolphin) so you can walk to Epcot?

You're welcome in advance, future beings.  Nick and Melissa are hosting a Fourth of July party at their home and invited many of their neighbors. They have not invited their direct neighbors because they really don't know them well. Melissa says that they should extend an invite because they live right next door and will be able to see that all the other neighbors are there. Nick says that they never even say hello to them, why would they invite literal strangers to their home? What would you do?  Maddy has a chance to win $3,800!
