Welcome to another episode of Beats Vines & Life, where we blend the soundtrack of Gen X culture with stories from the heart of American wine country. This time, the conversation focused on the Great American Wine Tour—a journey crisscrossing Napa, Willamette, the Finger Lakes, Texas Hill Country, Virginia, and beyond to uncover the most remarkable wines made right here in the USA.One concept discussed was the uniquely American spirit of winemaking—a landscape not bound by centuries-old European traditions but shaped by innovation, passion, and diverse backgrounds. The discussion explored the personal stories, the craft, and the people behind iconic wineries like Silver Oak, Rombauer, Seghesio, and the up-and-coming Gagnon & Kennedy, spotlighting how American winemakers pave their own paths and redefine what excellence looks (and tastes) like.A key theme that emerged was wine as the great connector: a bridge between music, lifestyle, and community, and a medium for conversation, discovery, and shared experience. The episode delved into everything from wine criticism and the meaning of authenticity, to the playful rivalry over pork roll in New Jersey, and the essential truth that wine should be approachable, fun, and—above all—a source of joy.So pour a glass, settle in, and get ready to meet the people and hear the stories behind the bottles that are transforming the American wine landscape—no pretense, just great conversation, a bit of humor, a lot of heart, and a soundtrack only Gen X could curate.Watch The Great American Wine Tour on YouTube click the link!Follow Keith on IG!Follow VinePair on IG!____________________________________________________________Until next time, cheers to the mavericks, philosophers, deep thinkers, and wine drinkers!

Episode OverviewOn this episode of The Butcher Shop fly fishing podcast, host Marvin Cash sits down with Kirk Klingensmith, a retired Corning engineer and lifelong angler, for a physics-driven breakdown of why streamers move the way they do. Klingensmith, who wrote the "physics of fly motion" chapter for Blane Chocklett's Game Changer book, brings a scientist's eye to the vise, translating drag, momentum and weight placement into practical tying and fishing decisions. In Part One of this two-part conversation, he and Cash work through jig flies and wrecking or kicking flies, saving swim flies for a follow-up episode.The jig fly discussion centers on the Clouser Minnow, where lead-eye placement and hook angle (90-degree versus 60-degree versus 15-degree jig hooks) determine whether a fly dips gently or nose-dives on the pause, and on how bucktail's stiffness contrasts with the collapsing action of flash-bodied flies like the Kreelex. From there the two turn to wrecking and kicking flies such as Blane Chocklett's T-Bone, unpacking how momentum in the tail and drag in the head combine to create the sideways "kick" that triggers strikes from muskies, smallmouth and brown trout alike. Throughout, Klingensmith returns to a central theme: the fly is only one part of a system that includes leader construction, tippet stiffness, fly line selection and retrieve style, all of which anglers can manipulate to fine-tune a streamer's behavior on the retrieve and on the pause.Key TakeawaysHow lead-eye placement on a Clouser Minnow determines whether the fly dips gently or nose-dives on the pauseWhy bucktail and flash materials like Kreinik Flash create fundamentally different drop behaviors when a jig fly stallsWhen to switch to a full-length tippet leader, as used in Alaska salmon fishing and Euro-nymphing, to amplify a jig fly's drop and sink rateHow momentum in a fly's tail combines with drag in the head to produce the sideways kick that triggers musky, smallmouth and brown trout strikesWhy reverse-tied bucktail heads, as used on the T-Bone, stall and flare on the pause to exaggerate a wrecking fly's actionHow retrieve style, fly line choice and tippet stiffness work together as a system to control a streamer's action, not just the fly itselfTechniques & Gear CoveredKlingensmith walks through how lead-eye placement on a Clouser Minnow governs its jigging action and contrasts bucktail's stiffer, slower-collapsing profile with the accelerated drop of flash-bodied flies like the Kreelex, tied with Kreinik Flash. He details how 90-degree, 60-degree and 15-degree jig hooks change the abruptness of the transition between retrieve and pause, and how a full-tippet leader system, borrowed from Alaska salmon fishing and Euro-nymphing with jig streamers, sinks a fly faster and amplifies its drop. On wrecking and kicking flies, he breaks down the reverse-tied bucktail construction behind Blane Chocklett's T-Bone, explaining how a dense, high-drag head stalls on the pause while a lower-drag tail continues forward and kicks sideways, and how material choices such as deer hair, wool, synthetics and foam heads change how a fly suspends or sinks at rest. He also touches on line selection, using sink-tip or full-sinking lines to present a kicking fly low in the water column, and loop knots as the standard connection for preserving that action.Locations & SpeciesKlingensmith fishes primarily for smallmouth bass on the Chemung River, a Susquehanna tributary in the Finger Lakes region of New York, running a drift boat and carrying both floating and sinking lines to cover different parts of the water column. The bite triggers discussed apply broadly across predatory species, with specific mentions of musky, brown trout and smallmouth reacting to kicking and wrecking fly action, and striped bass responding to jigging presentations on pressured saltwater flats.FAQ / Key Questions AnsweredWhat determines whether a jig fly dips or nose-dives on the pause?Weight placement and hook geometry are the primary factors. Moving the lead eyes farther from the hook eye on a Clouser Minnow produces a flatter drop, while placing weight closer to the eye causes a more pronounced nose-dive; steeper jig hook angles (90 degrees versus 60 or 15 degrees) create a more abrupt transition between the retrieve and the pause.Why do bucktail and flash-bodied jig flies behave differently when they stall?Bucktail is a stiffer material that resists collapsing, so a fly like the Clouser Minnow dips rather than dives when it stops. Flash materials, like limp Kreinik Flash, offer far less resistance, and flies like the Kreelex fall more like a flimsy parachute, making them sink faster but with less controlled action.How does reverse-tied bucktail create the kicking action in flies like the T-Bone?Reverse-tying builds a dense, drag-heavy head that stalls abruptly on the pause while the tail, carrying more momentum and less drag, continues moving forward and swings sideways, similar to a tractor trailer truck jackknifing when the cab brakes. Tuning the length and diameter of the front section, along with the materials used, controls how sharply that kick occurs.When should anglers switch to a full-tippet leader for jig flies?A leader made entirely of tippet material, as used in Alaska for salmon and increasingly in Euro-nymphing with jig streamers, reduces resistance in the system so the fly sinks faster and produces a stronger, more pronounced jigging pull on the pause. This is especially useful when maximum depth and drop are the goal.Why do predatory fish sometimes strike a fly that doesn't resemble food at all?Klingensmith points out that fish lack hands, so investigating an unfamiliar object or eliminating a struggling intruder from their territory can trigger a strike independent of whether the fly looks edible. Klingensmith sums up the goal as tying a fly that wins an award for looking helpless, hurt and vulnerable rather than one that looks like a healthy baitfish.SponsorsThanks to TroutRoutes for sponsoring this episode.

An almost extinct Pennsylvania beer, brought back from the brink! The Pennsylvania Swankey is a beer I've heard about for 30 years, but I never go to taste one until last week, when I interviewed Taylor Strein of Rosko's Brew House and William Wingfield of John Ryan Brewery, two small and excellent brewpubs in Williamsport. They collaborated on a batch of A Night at the Rosk-bury, a rare example of this unique Pennsylvania farm brew.  We'll talk about that, and their two breweries, about the brothers that own them, and the Penn Tech brewing science program they both attended, and their love for classic beer styles that, well, to be honest, makes both of these places top visits for me.  Of course you'll get some Williamsport history, including the Adena people who used this area as a continent-spanning trade route a thousand years ago, the way lumber transformed the city and the area, and its history on the Underground Railroad. Then we'll talk about the history of Pennsylvania Swankey, including input from PA Dutch scholar Doug Madenford (who lives a few valleys over and hosts the Doug's Front Porch podcast I appeared on in 2024), and the weirdly similar but distinctly different Cornish Swanky!  I've got a month's worth of Williamsport beer events for you, including the Bullfrog Brewery 30th anniversary party on September 19th, a tease of a Finger Lakes cornucopia episode that's been long a-building, the latest on the new book, and a neat Elk Creek Cafe singalong event.  What I'm Drinking Today is another of the Wheatland Spring Farm Brewery beers I picked up back in March, their Duration Sour Red Ale, a 9% beauty that really puts everything together. Cathy's not a sour fan, and she liked this one.  Next episode is once again up in the air; it's getting really close to my son's wedding and my time is splashed to the four winds. I'll have something for you, never fear! Oh, and YES, we have a new sponsor! I'll announce that in the next episode!  See you in two weeks! Until then? TELL YOUR FRIENDS ABOUT THE PODCAST!

What would it look like if your family had a constitution, a shared document of values, mission, and legacy that guided every generation after you? This week, Jon Goehring and Coach Jim Johnson welcome Brad Dufrane, managing partner of New York Life's Finger Lakes office, 30 year veteran of the financial services industry, marathon and Spartan race finisher, and one of the most genuinely warm and thoughtful leaders the Lounge has had the pleasure of hosting.Brad opens with the three things he wishes someone had told him on day one of his leadership journey, humility, gratitude, and servant leadership, and makes the case that these are not soft skills but the foundation everything else is built on. He is candid about the fact that none of them came naturally to him early in his career, and shares how intentional work with a positive psychology coach transformed the way he leads both at the office and at home.The conversation goes deep on hiring and team building, including Brad's powerful reframe of the classic people-first hiring approach. Rather than falling in love with a candidate, he coaches his emerging leaders to fall in love with the process, because a great process filters for the right people every time. He also shares three interview questions he swears by, including one that almost always catches candidates off guard and one that opens the door to the most authentic conversation of the entire interview.Brad then unpacks the concept of the family constitution, inspired by the book What Would the Rockefellers Do, and explains how his family built a living document around shared values, giving, and generational legacy. He shares the origin story of his family's annual giving tradition, which started with a Saturday morning he almost resented and turned into a 30 year practice now carried on independently by his own children.Jon and Coach also draw out the connection between Brad's physical discipline, running marathons and completing Spartan races alongside his wife Wendy, and his professional and personal effectiveness. His answer brings the conversation back to the same idea that runs through everything he shares: the difference between living life by default and living life by design.The episode closes beautifully with Brad answering the same question he asks every candidate he interviews, and his answer is worth staying for.Whether you are a young leader trying to find your footing, a seasoned leader looking to be more intentional at home as well as at work, or simply someone who wants to build a life and a legacy worth passing on, this episode will challenge and inspire you.Connect with Brad: LinkedIn at Brad Dufrane: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bradley-dufrane-fscp-chfc-clu-clf-lutcf-86499194/Email bdufrane@newyorklife.comGrab Little Billy and Beans on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Little-Billy-Beans-Brad-Dufrane/dp/B0C5P7VXN7

In this episode, we dig into what it really looks like to take manageable, real-world steps toward biodynamic and organic winegrowing with Thijs (Taze) Verschuuren, Director of Vineyard Biology and biodynamic specialist at Hermann J. Wiemer Vineyard in New York's Finger Lakes. We follow Thijs's path from European wine regions to the Finger Lakes and unpack the make-or-break 2018 season. That side‑by‑side contrast pushed the team to fully embrace biodynamics and pursue Demeter certification. We break down biodynamics in practical terms: treating the farm as a living, self-sustaining organism that integrates cover crops, livestock, compost, and on-farm preparations to build resilience from the soil up. Then we zoom into vineyard floor management as an accessible entry point, showing how diverse clover mixes, smarter mowing vs. crimping decisions, and minimal cultivation helped boost soil organic matter from ~1.7% to over 6% in about seven years — one "baby step" at a time. In this episode, you will hear: Why a wet 2018 season pushed Hermann J. Wiemer to deepen its biodynamic commitment How biodynamics differs from organics in philosophy and farm design A practical framework for cover crops (especially clovers) to build organic matter and vine resilience When to mow, when to crimp, and why there's no "set-it-and-forget-it" spray or floor program Baby-step starting points: soil testing, cover cropping, and small-scale animal integration Follow and Review: If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to follow the podcast and leave a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts!

Send us Fan MailWe sit down with travel expert Angie Orth, host of Traveling with AAA and founder of AngieAway.com, to talk about the kind of travel that feels vivid and real: big bucket list wins, smart planning, and what to do when the “easy route” disappears overnight. Angie takes us from a Maldives liveaboard dive retreat with whale sharks and tiger sharks to the moment war-related airspace closures strand travelers and force a costly, creative path home. Along the way, we dig into practical travel advice that actually matters, like staying flexible, knowing alternate flight routes, and budgeting for disruption so you can make decisions fast instead of panicking. We also swap destination stories and grounded tips: Bahamas island hopping in Exuma with wildlife you would not expect, Egypt travel and why a guide can make culture shock feel like discovery, and a quick-hit Las Vegas trip built around the Sphere and great food. Plus, there is Costa Rica dental tourism, a brutal bullet ant bite, a Natchez Trace Parkway road trip warning about national park speeding tickets, Finger Lakes wine on a budget, Kauai hiking reality checks, and an Alaska finale featuring northern lights and grizzlies. **Angie Orth describes herself as a tour guide for global shenanigans, worldwide wanderlust, and misadventures near and far. Podcast host Lea Lane has traveled to over 100 countries, and has written nine books, including the award-winning Places I Remember  (Kirkus Reviews star rating, and  'one of the top 100 Indie books of  the year').

For generations, Kristin's family has owned a historic lake house on one of New York's Finger Lakes. Locals know the property by name, and many have their own stories about the strange things that happen there.One summer night, while paddling across the lake with a friend, Kristin noticed a light turn on inside the house. At first, it seemed harmless enough.Then they saw someone standing in the window.Certain that a stranger had broken into the house, the girls hurried back to shore. But before they could reach the property, the figure vanished.What happened afterward made the encounter even stranger—and left Kristin wondering if the stories surrounding Elm Lodge were true after all. #RealGhostStories #ParanormalPodcast #GhostStories #HauntedLakeHouse #TrueGhostStory #Apparition #FamilyGhostStory #HauntedHistory #FingerLakes #ParanormalEncounterLove real ghost stories?

Private practice has changed a LOT over the last few years… and therapists are still trying to figure out what comes next. In this episode, Gordon talks with Lex E. Santi about the evolution of therapy after telehealth, online platforms, insurance shifts, and changing client expectations. They dive into why more clinicians are entering private practice, why clients still crave in-person connection, and how companies like BetterHelp, Alma, and Headway are reshaping the profession. They also explore the pressure therapists feel to market themselves, build niches, and create an online presence in a rapidly changing industry. Toward the end of the conversation, Lex shares how writing, narrative therapy, mindfulness, and storytelling intersect in his clinical work and creative life.

Trained as a licensed clinical social worker and currently completing his doctorate at the University of Kentucky, Lex brings a grounded, integrative approach to his work — drawing on modalities like CBT, ACT, and mindfulness alongside his own framework for healing he calls the AMI model. The son of Cuban immigrants and a former Peace Corps volunteer in Romania, Lex carries a lifelong fluency in crossing cultures — literally and emotionally. He speaks three languages and brings that same attunement to difference, displacement, and belonging into his clinical work. In the therapy room, he holds space for individuals navigating anxiety, identity, and the transitions that quietly reshape a life. He also supervises emerging clinicians, teaches workshops on meditation and understanding anxiety, and is building A Key Therapy into a group practice rooted in presence, curiosity, and care. He believes that good therapy — like good writing — is about learning to tell a truer story about yourself. Beyond the therapy room, Lex is a published author with an MFA in Creative Writing from George Mason University — the author of four books of poetry and a collection of short stories and essays. A meditator and someone who thinks seriously about the spiritual dimensions of mental health, he lives in the Finger Lakes region of New York with his family. He is a proud husband, father, and has another child on the way. Website Facebook LinkedIn The Song of the Midnight Rider

In this episode, Christy checks in with a spring update from the Finger Lakes region of New York, where she'll be based full-time after permanently wrapping up a professional affiliation in North Carolina. She covers the famously unforgiving Tompkins County frost calendar—last freeze as late as May 30—and what that means for her raised garden bed at the Cottages, where she's planning a split experiment: half given over to creeping Charlie, half to two varieties of sunflower. She also introduces her two cats, Gimley and Silhouette. The episode closes on the sounds of the Finger Lakes in spring—bullfrogs, owls, birdsong—and a nudge to anyone considering a move to the area.

Research shows that Black and Latino Americans have higher rates of diabetes illness and mortality.

In this episode of Alpha Health and Wellness Radio, I sit down with my friend Chelsea, founder of a locally sourced, grass-fed beef organ supplement made right here in the Finger Lakes.We break down why organ meats were once considered sacred foods in traditional cultures — and why they may be one of the most nutrient-dense tools we're overlooking in modern wellness.If you've ever been curious about liver, heart, or kidney but don't know where to start (or you're not exactly excited to cook them), this conversation is for you.Why organ meats are considered nature's multivitaminThe difference between grass-fed, locally sourced organs vs. conventionalWho may benefit most from beef organ supportHow soil quality and sourcing matterWhy nose-to-tail eating supports sustainability and mineral balanceHow to incorporate ancestral eating into busy family lifeSimple, nourishing meals the whole family will actually enjoyWe also talk practically about what it looks like to prioritize nutrient-dense meals without overcomplicating your life — because real wellness has to work for families.Chelsea shares her heart behind creating a product that supports local farmers while making ancestral nutrition accessible and convenient.If you're looking to build meals around protein, minerals, and real food foundations — this episode will give you clarity and confidence.Little Fisher Farmhouse based in Fishers, New York, was founded by functional nutrition practitioner, ancestral food blogger, and food-as-medicine advocate Chelsea Rose and her husband, Max. Together, they created Offally Good Grass-Fed Organs: a whole-food supplement originally crafted to support Chelsea's body during her childbearing years. After experiencing how good they felt, they knew they had to share these little capsules of vitality with others. These nutrient dense capsules feed the mitochondria- supporting energy, mental clarity and inviting you to feel and live optimally. Max and Chelsea are deeply devoted to creating a whole-food supplement with small batch integrity, grounded in holistic farming practices and a deep respect for the interconnectedness of all life - honoring both the animal and the harvest.
