Vintage episode (2006)Why This Episode MattersThe Guys dissect classic “wine gaffes” and the social survival tactics that follow.Susan Ridley explains why Hendry's vineyard site matters: cool maritime influence, rocky soils and foothill elevation A look at vineyard thinking from a grower-driven perspective, where farming stress, decades of experience, and selectivity shape the wine.Wine dinners are the best “real-world” wine education: food changes everything.The BanterMark Pascal and Francis Schott open with wine-party etiquette wars. How to prevent your “special bottle” from being shelved like an unwanted candle and why perfume at tastings should be a misdemeanor.The ConversationSusan Ridley (Brookside Ranch) joins to tell the accidental origin story of becoming George Hendry's partner—starting with dinner at the neighbor's house and ending with a serious winery built on one vineyard, no purchased fruit. The Guys dig into what makes Hendry's site in Napa's cooler corner so distinctive, why vineyard stress and rocky soils can produce better wine, and how wine dinners teach pairing in a way tastings never can. Along the way: vineyard tours with a pith-helmeted nuclear physicist, Napa seasonality, legendary blackberry jam, and the screw cap vs. cork debate.Timestamps0:00 – Welcome + Natalie MacLean's “Grapes of Gaffe” 2:15 – Having your host ignore your bottle, too much perfume and “off” bottles9:00 – Guest Introduction: Susan Ridley, Brookside Ranch and Hendry Wines12:50 – Hendry vineyard location, elevation, and rocky soils15:45 – George Hendry, farmer and nuclear physicist 20:40 – Wine dinners and lessons they teach23:13 – Brookside Ranch B&B + Napa seasonality29:00 – Screw caps vs. cork closures discussionGuest BioSusan Ridley was a partner in Hendry Wines in Napa Valley and proprietor of Brookside Ranch, a historic bed-and-breakfast neighboring the Hendry estate.

Fluent Fiction - Hungarian: Dreams in the Vineyard: A Journey from Grapes to Art Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hu/episode/2026-02-21-23-34-02-hu Story Transcript:Hu: A Balatonfüredi szél hidegen fújt, ahogy Bence a szőlőtőkék között sétált.En: The Balatonfüredi wind blew cold as Bence walked among the grapevines.Hu: Az ég szürke volt, és a hegyeken vékony hóborítás csillogott.En: The sky was gray, and a thin layer of snow glistened on the hills.Hu: Már közeledett a szőlőszedés napja, amelyet a család minden évben nagy odafigyeléssel várt.En: The day of the grape harvest was approaching, which the family awaited with great care every year.Hu: Bence azonban most valami mást érzett.En: However, Bence felt something different now.Hu: Nem az örömteli várakozást, hanem a gyomrában kavargó aggodalmat.En: Not the joyful anticipation, but a swirling anxiety in his stomach.Hu: Bence apja, Tamás, mindig is azt szerette volna, ha Bence viszi tovább a családi borászatot.En: Bence's father, Tamás, had always wanted Bence to carry on the family winery.Hu: A szőlő és a bor az ő életük része volt, generációkon átívelő örökség.En: Grapes and wine were a part of their life, a legacy spanning generations.Hu: Bence viszont másra vágyott.En: But Bence longed for something else.Hu: A festészet, a színek és formák vonzották, nem a szőlőprés és a hordók.En: He was drawn to painting, to colors and forms, not to the grape press and barrels.Hu: Tamás fújtatva dolgozott a tőkék között, Judit pedig vidáman vágta a szőlőt.En: Tamás worked tirelessly among the vines, while Judit happily cut the grapes.Hu: Mindketten büszkén tekintettek munkájuk gyümölcsére, de Bencének úgy tűnt, mintha ezek a szőlőfürtök láncok lennének, amelyek fogva tartják őt.En: Both of them looked proudly at the fruits of their labor, but to Bence, these grape clusters seemed like chains that held him captive.Hu: „Bencém, gyere segíts!En: "Bencém, come help!"Hu: ” kiáltotta Tamás.En: called Tamás.Hu: Fia bólintott, de lassan lépett közelebb.En: His son nodded but approached slowly.Hu: A kezében a metszőolló hideg fémből volt, szinte égette a bőrét.En: The pruning shears in his hand were cold metal, almost burning his skin.Hu: Munka közben gondolatai megállíthatatlanul kalandoztak el.En: While working, his thoughts roamed uncontrollably.Hu: Képzeletben már rég a vászon előtt állt, ecsetje a levegőben táncolt.En: In his imagination, he was already standing before a canvas, his brush dancing in the air.Hu: Nem sokkal később, mikor a nap kezdett hanyatlani, Bence úgy érezte, elérkezett az idő, hogy végre beszéljen.En: Not long after, when the sun began to set, Bence felt it was time to finally speak.Hu: Leszegett fejjel megállt szülei előtt.En: With his head bowed, he stopped in front of his parents.Hu: „Apa, anya…” kezdte ügyetlenül, „valamit mondanom kell.En: "Apa, anya..." he began awkwardly, "I need to tell you something.Hu: Én.En: I...Hu: én festeni szeretnék, nem bort készíteni.En: I want to paint, not make wine."Hu: ”Tamás arca megdermedt.En: Tamás' face froze.Hu: Judit azonban egy pillanatra felnézett, majd meleg mosollyal közelebb lépett fiához.En: However, Judit looked up for a moment, then stepped closer to her son with a warm smile.Hu: „Tudod, Bence, én is mindig szerettem a festészetet.En: "You know, Bence, I always loved painting too.Hu: Mikor fiatal voltam, festettem is pár képet” – vallotta be csendesen.En: When I was young, I even painted a few pictures," she admitted quietly.Hu: Ők ketten összenéztek, mintha most ismerték volna meg valódi önmagukat.En: The two of them exchanged a look, as if they were truly seeing each other's real selves for the first time.Hu: „Támogatunk téged, fiam” – mondta Judit.En: "We support you, my son," Judit said.Hu: Tamás bólintott, bár szemében ott bujkált az aggodalom.En: Tamás nodded, though a hint of worry lingered in his eyes.Hu: Bence csak állt ott, de most könnyedén vette a levegőt.En: Bence just stood there, but now he breathed easily.Hu: Érezte, hogy végre a saját útjára léphet, de nem kellett elhagynia a családját.En: He felt he could finally step onto his own path without having to leave his family.Hu: A tradíciókat, a szőlőt és a bort is valahogyan össze tudja majd egyeztetni a festészettel.En: Somehow, he could reconcile tradition, the grapes, and wine with painting.Hu: A délutáni nap eltűnt, és a hóval borított hegyek rózsaszín árnyalatúvá váltak.En: The afternoon sun disappeared, and the snow-covered hills turned a rosy hue.Hu: Az élet nem változott meg teljesen, de Bence tudta, hogy új utat talált.En: Life did not change completely, but Bence knew he had found a new path.Hu: Ablakot nyitott a jövőre, ahol a bor és a festészet közösen lehetnek részei világának.En: He opened a window to the future, where wine and painting could be a part of his world together.Hu: Mert a szív és a hagyomány együtt adtak új ízt az életének.En: Because heart and tradition together gave a new flavor to his life.

In this show I go back to basics (the last time I covered this topic was in 2011 -- episode 7!!)  and discuss the differences between the terms New World and Old World.   Although it seems totally basic, there has been controversy over using these terms, with some writers saying they are antiquated, non specific, and need to be replaced. I disagree. I discuss the usefulness of the terms and why they should still exist as terms in wine from three main perspectives: Geographical and historical perspectives REAL terroir differences that make the wines different Differences in regulation make Old World wines very consistent (and they conform to stereotypes!) Here are links to the articles that I mention: Climate, Grapes, and Wine: Terroir and the Importance of Climate to Winegrape Production A New Reason to Embrace the "Old World / New World" Explanation of Wine by Tom Wark The anti-flavor wine elite, WineLovers Page     Full show notes and all back episodes are on Patreon.

How many incredible grape varieties are hiding in plain sight — simply because they don't fit the modern wine script? We dig into that question in this episode with Jenny and Scott Schultz of Sonoma's Jolie-Laide Wines, a winery built around chasing the unfamiliar and turning "pretty ugly" grapes into seriously compelling wines. We trace how Jenny and Scott's very different paths collided into a shared philosophy: start with great farming, intervene as little as possible, and let each site and vintage tell its own story. For vineyard owners and operators, the conversation opens up a practical discussion about risk, opportunity, and how alternative varieties can make both agronomic and economic sense. We also get inside their cellar to talk about what "minimal intervention" really means — early picking for natural acidity, whole-cluster fermentations, neutral barrels and concrete, and a deliberate refusal to erase vintage character. Even the labels change every year, reinforcing the idea that wine is an agricultural product, not a factory formula. The discussion dives into grapes like Melon de Bourgogne, Trousseau Gris, Scheurebe, and Mondeuse Noir, unpacking how they grow, how they're vinified, and why they deserve a bigger spotlight. It's a conversation about curiosity, craft, and what becomes possible when we stop playing it safe with varieties. In this episode, you will hear: Why Jolie-Laide focuses on rare and overlooked grape varieties Working with growers to graft or plant unconventional grapes Minimal intervention winemaking and whole-cluster fermentations Farming considerations for low-alcohol, high-acid styles Blending, carbonic fermentation, and managing tannin and structure Follow and Review: If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to follow the podcast and leave a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts!

What if the very thing holding you back is simply fear disguised as wisdom? In Pastor Brandon's powerful exploration of Numbers 13, we witness Israel's pivotal moment at Kadesh Barnea, where twelve spies confronted both promise and fear. Through vibrant details of clusters of grapes so large they required two men to carry, Brandon reveals how God's abundance was right before them—yet ten spies chose to magnify obstacles over God's providence. This timely message challenges us to examine where we might be standing at our own "glass doors," seeing but hesitating to enter God's promises. Watch to discover how to move from paralysis to purpose, and learn why our perspective on God's size determines our view of life's giants. Brandon Bachtel www.stonepointchurch.com

This episode of OnlyLands is a wide-ranging, uncensored roundtable that blends dark humor, media skepticism, and deep dives into recent Epstein document revelations. The hosts unpack viral claims about Jeffrey Epstein allegedly being photographed inside a “CIA” facility, carefully breaking down how misleading imagery and shorthand labeling fueled mass misinformation. From there, the conversation turns sharply toward disturbing email language found in Epstein communications, including repeated references to “pizza” and “grape soda,” and what those coded phrases may imply when viewed in context. The discussion expands into how long-suppressed narratives are finally breaking into the mainstream, with figures like Bill Maher cautiously acknowledging elements once publicly mocked. The panel debates the psychological toll of the information war, the slow conditioning of the public over nearly a decade, and why institutional credibility is collapsing in real time. Along the way, the hosts weave in commentary on Bitcoin, state power, media manipulation, and why certain truths require years of exposure before the public can confront them. Raw, irreverent, and deeply analytical, this episode captures the uneasy moment when denial gives way to reckoning.

Put on your hydrangea and lets get out and shovel the driveway!WHAT!?Jack, Lynne and Matt McFarland highlight the intersection of textiles and horticulture on this week's episode of The Growing Season. Matt opens the show with a discussion on a milestone that his family has reached. Silk moths and their fondness for mulberry begins the plant content.  How is silk made? Synthetic silk and pineapples.  Not kidding!Milkweek, dandelions, bullrush and smokebush floof can all be used for a "down-like" material to replace goose down. Life jackets in WW2 became a home economics project for young people. Why isn't cork as popular as it once was as a flooring material?The rise and obsession with milkweed gets highlighted.  CLIENTS ARE OBSESSED WITH IT. Herbicides and roundup have drastically effected our horticulture industry.  Underwear made out of sythentic material vs. cotton gets a laugh. Cotton requires SOOOOO much water to grow.   LIKE AN INSANE AMOUNT. Why isnt flax used on a large scale for textiles?   Why hasn't it replaced cotton?Sawdust and tree lignans are discussed and their effect on those using wood to heat their homes.  Its an interesting chat. Potato leather.  Grape leather.  Apple leather.  None are the stuff of fiction. Tune in.

This funny news show starts with Valentine's Day confusion and quickly spirals into a full-on identity crisis. Rizz is possibly spending Valentine's Day alone, possibly with DJ Pauly D, definitely not wearing pants—and that's just the beginning. From not knowing zodiac signs (but somehow surviving marriage) to realizing that birthdays close to Valentine's Day are a strategic advantage, the crew kicks things off with peak relationship chaos.Then comes the house rating heard 'round St. Louis. Rafe's new place gets evaluated like a Zillow listing with emotional baggage, complete with debates over shoveling etiquette, floating stairs, blind dogs, and the slowest move-in process known to man. Somehow, this leads to lunch, which turns into a bit, which turns into strangers questioning reality as Rafe pretends to be a superfan in public. Normal stuff.From there, the show leans hard into the realization that everyone is officially old now. Grocery stores are playing bangers. Bars are confusing. Costco is no longer a chore—it's an experience. Socks slap. Grapes are elite. Clothes are “not that bad.” And the biggest shock of all? Costco and Nike teaming up to release Kirkland Dunks that immediately resell for stupid money. The dads are not okay.The episode wraps with minivan supremacy, sneaker generational debates, knowing where the nearest hospital is at all times, and the quiet acceptance that this daily comedy show is now powered by dad logic, utility vehicles, and bulk pricing.

This is the first episode in a series I plan on doing on protest music. Decades ago Woody Guthrie wrote a song that told the story of Tom Joad from Grapes of Wrath. After that Bruce Springsteen wrote an interpolation of Guthrie's song, and not long after that Rage Against The Machine covered Bruce's song in their own style. The story of Tom Joad still resonates today, and I wanted to share the history of this American classic. I hope you dig it! 

TWR Route 66 Ep 3 of the Travels With Randy podcast is here! And We Begin At The End!  Santa Monica Pier, Pasadena, and Barstow Charlotte Snowstorm Impact Discussion Bubba and Randy discussed the recent snowstorm in Charlotte, which resulted in 8 inches of snow and caused widespread disruptions. Bubba shared his experience of being stuck at home and the challenges faced by the city due to the lack of snow plows. They briefly touched on the weather conditions in other parts of the country, including Florida's iguana problem during cold weather. The conversation then shifted to the third episode of their Route 66 coverage. Route 66: History and Beginnings Bubba and Randy discussed the start of their Route 66 coverage, with Randy confirming he had begun the route from Santa Monica, its designated end point. They explored the history of Route 66, which was established in 1926 as part of a numbered highway system, though the roads already existed as trails. Randy shared that Chester Avery, known as the "father of Route 66," was instrumental in mapping and naming the route after discovering that "Route 60" was already in use. Route 66's Evolution and Impact Route 66 was originally designed as a commerce route connecting small towns from Chicago to Los Angeles, with Avery, who owned a motel in Tulsa, playing a key role in its promotion. The highway passed through downtown Los Angeles at 7th and Broadway, which was once a vibrant theater district but is now run-down. The discussion highlighted how the road evolved from dirt paths used by horse and buggy to a major transportation artery for farmers in the mid-20th century, eventually being replaced by the interstate system. Route 66's Historical Evolution Randy shared his experience exploring the original and historical routes of Route 66, highlighting its evolution from 1926 to 1938, when it became the first paved numbered highway. He explained how the route was realigned and extended to Santa Monica in the 1930s, despite its official endpoint being at Olympic and Lincoln Boulevards. Randy discussed the significance of Pasadena, noting its historical attractions like the Tournament of Roses and its role in the route, and mentioned the Figueroa tunnels, built in 1940, which rerouted Route 66 onto the Arroyo Seco Parkway. Route 66 Centennial Preservation Discussion The discussion focused on Route 66's centennial anniversary in 2026 and its current state. Randy shared insights about the varying signage and preservation efforts along the historic route across different states, noting that California does a good job by allowing cities to manage their own Route 66 markings. They discussed the end point of Route 66 in Santa Monica, where a significant sign marks its conclusion, and mentioned that Mel's Diner, originally from American Graffiti, is a popular breakfast spot near the endpoint. Route 66: American Cultural Highway The discussion focused on Route 66, its history, and its significance. Randy shared insights about the route's journey from a decommissioned highway to a symbol of American history and culture. They discussed the route's connection to the Great Depression and the Dust Bowl era, highlighted by John Steinbeck's novel "The Grapes of Wrath." Randy encouraged watching the film adaptation to better understand the experiences of those who traveled Route 66 during this period. Bubba expressed interest in rewatching the film and learning more about this historical route. Route 66: Legacy and Relevance The discussion focused on the historical significance of Route 66, its decline with the advent of the interstate system, and its cultural impact. Randy shared insights from the movie "The Grapes of Wrath" and the animated film "Cars," emphasizing key scenes that reflect the challenges faced by those who traveled the route during the 1930s. They highlighted the transition from the original Route 66 to the historic Route 66, noting the efforts to preserve its legacy. Randy assigned homework to watch these films and encouraged a reevaluation of Route 66's current state, emphasizing its relevance to small businesses and the spirit of the road. Route 66 Driving Adventure Randy shared his experience driving from Santa Monica to Chicago, offering advice for others to rent a car at LAX and start early on weekends to avoid traffic. He described driving through familiar routes, including a Tesla diner that replaced his old workplace, and emphasized taking the original Route 66 instead of freeways for a more authentic experience. Beth provided historical details about the pre-1935 route, which ran through downtown LA and Echo Park before connecting with Santa Monica Boulevard. Randy mentioned seeing a friend, Cindy, who expressed jealousy about his interaction with a computer, hinting at his close relationships with a few lifelong friends. Route 66 Journey and Challenges Randy discussed his ongoing journey along Route 66, highlighting the challenges of navigating the historic route due to poor signage and the need for guides like Austin Whittle's maps. He shared his experience at Fort Nebo, a Marine Corps base where he was briefly detained for attempting to take a picture of a Route 66 sign near the base's entrance. Randy also outlined his plan to cover different states along Route 66 over the next few months, with two weeks allocated for each state except Kansas and Texas, which he plans to cover in one episode. He emphasized the importance of preserving Route 66's history, especially during its 100th anniversary, and suggested that listeners join his Facebook page and group for more photos, stories, and detailed information The podcast is for your ears and can be found everywhere - but you should REALLY see this trip with your eyes and so come find Randy's excellent and extensive photography in our little 20,000 person page on Facebook.

The wine industry is trying to stay positive. It's facing an oversupply of sorts after around 100 thousand tonnes of grapes —about a fifth of the crop— were left on the vine last year. Some growers put it down to people changing their drinking habits globally, others blame the pandemic, tax increases, and US tariffs. New Zealand Winegrowers Chief Executive Philip Gregan told Mike Hosking there are issues, but they will keep making quality products. He says long term, the industry is confident it's producing the types of wines people want to drink. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This episode introduces the laws of squeezing fruits on Shabbos. The key distinction is between fruits primarily used for juice and those mainly eaten as solids. Grapes and olives are strictly forbidden to squeeze because their normal use is for producing liquids, and even juice that seeps out on its own is prohibited as a safeguard against intentional squeezing. Some fruits, like strawberries and pomegranates, depend on intent: if they were designated for eating, naturally released juice is permitted; if intended for juicing, it is not. Most other fruits, which are generally eaten rather than juiced, may be squeezed because their liquid is not considered a standard beverage. The practical takeaway is that common dual-purpose fruits—such as oranges—are generally treated more strictly, since many people use them for juice.

After 14 years, I felt like it was probably time to do another show on Zinfandel! Known as America's heritage grape, the story of the quest for its European origins is like a mystery novel with an interesting end. It is a great grape and so historic!    Photo: Frank Schulenburg, CC BY-SA 4.0 , via Wikimedia Commons   In this show I cover the massive history of the grape and the unbelievable decades-long search for its origins, which were finally discovered after a dogged group of researchers did a painstaking investigation.    I move on to discuss the vineyard and winemaking. Much of the information I got was from one of the kings of Zinfandel in the Dry Creek Valley of Sonoma, Fred Peterson of Peterson Winery. Fred started his career in wine working under the very famed Paul Draper at Ridge, before starting his own winery. Fred has been making Zinfandel for more than 50 years. His estate vineyard is outside his front door and has Zin in it. He sources from other vineyards, and makes low intervention, excellent Zinfandel in different styles. I share all the wisdom I got from my conversation with him, including the stylistic differences in winemaking and vineyard management and how that shows up in the wine.  Check out Peterson Winery!    After discussing the grape and cellar, I talk about flavors, styles and where the grape is grown. I end with a disucssion of serving temperatures, aging, and food pairing (Zin is so versatile!).   You can call it Zinfandel, Primitivo, Tribidrag, Pribidrag, or Crjenak Kaštelanski, but whatever the name,  I wish more people were into Zinfandel. It's such a storied and truly great grape.    Full show notes and all back episodes are on Patreon. Become a member today! www.patreon.com/winefornormalpeople _______________________________________________________________   Check out my sponsor, Wine Access.  They have an amazing selection -- once you get hooked on their wines, they will be your go-to!

Economist and author Emily Oster joins Sam to ring in the New Year and talk about why so many people try to reset in January and if they believe in New Year’s resolutions. They unpack why some important people eat the same thing every day in order not to exert energy on unimportant decisions and why Emily has the same thing for breakfast and lunch every day (but gets to alternate between carrots and grapes). They talk about structured decision making, contentious co-sleeping with kids, and why parenting advice can be so controversial. They agree Canadians make decisions in a slightly different way, why the scientific community doesn’t do a good job explaining uncertainty, why people just want to be told what to do, and why everyone is asking Emily about Botox these days. Plus, the RFK Jr. of it all and why people are convinced that every moment is an opportunity to mess up. Keep up with Samantha Bee @realsambee on Instagram and X.
