How much of what we perceive about the taste of wine is actually shaped by psychology? Are vineyard soils important contributors to a wine's tasting profile? Why do so many wine producers highlight their soils as a unique factor that makes their wines stand out? Where do the “minerals” we taste in wine originate from? In this episode of the Unreserved Wine Talk podcast, I'm chatting with Dr. Alex Maltman, author of the new book Taste the Limestone, Smell the Slate: A Geologist Wanders Through the World of Wine. You can find the wines we discussed at https://www.nataliemaclean.com/winepicks   Giveaway Two of you are going to win a copy of Alex Maltman's terrific book, Taste the Limestone, Smell the Slate. A Geologist Wanders Through the World of Wine. To qualify, all you have to do is email me at natalie@nataliemaclean.com and let me know that you've posted a review of the podcast. I'll choose two people randomly from those who contact me. Good luck!   Highlights What did a Dutch research study show about identifying soil type through blind tasting? Is there any geological evidence to support volcanic soils imparting certain characteristics to wine? Why can vines access nutrients from soil but not larger rock layers? Should we consider the root stocks of vines and the type of yeast used for fermentation when analyzing the taste profile of a wine? How does consumer psychology influence our perception of the taste of wine? Which aspects of geology and wine is Alex planning to write about in the future? If Alex could share a bottle of wine with anyone outside the wine world, who would that be?   Key Takeaways How much of what we perceive about the taste of wine is actually shaped by psychology?  It's the psychology that people think, “Oh, heavy bottle. This must be a classy wine.” For many wine drinkers, what the wine expert says will override the more academic factors, rather like a clinician saying, take these tablets, you'll be better, if the wine authority says you're going to taste vanilla. Yeah, I'm getting vanilla. Are vineyard soils important contributors to a wine's tasting profile? In one experiment, several growers planted four different grape varieties, each in different soils, and then tried to grow the grapes, vinify the grapes uniformly, and then sent the finished wines off to a completely independent expert tasting panel. The panelists were only able to group the wines according to variety. Soils didn't come through at all.   For wine producers, soil is one of the only factors that are difficult to replicate, so they're going to say their soil is special. It's a great selling point. When some wine commentators are saying they're tasting minerals from the soil because it's been taken up by the vine root and transmitted through to the wine. Well, no, that doesn't happen like that. But in any case, any nutrients that were taken up by the vine root and did make it all the way through to the finished wine, almost certainly, in practice, will have originated in the humus.   About Dr. Alex Maltman Alex Maltman is Emeritus Professor of Earth Sciences at Aberystwyth University, in Wales, U.K. Alongside a decorated career in university teaching and research, Alex has for fifty years grown vines and made wine at his home. And through this, perhaps inevitably, he became interested in vineyard geology and its fashionable but poorly understood relationship with wine. This led to numerous publications in both the popular press and academic journals. Alex is the author of the acclaimed Vineyards, Rocks, and Soils: A Wine Lover's Guide to Geology and newly released Taste the Limestone, Smell the Slate.

Why is geology essential for vineyard management but overrated when it comes to wine taste? Do soils get too much credit for wine flavour, when invisible factors might be the real drivers? What does “minerality” in wine really mean? Rock, nutrient, or just taste perception? In this episode of the Unreserved Wine Talk podcast, I'm chatting with Alex Maltman, author of the terrific new book, Taste the Limestone, Smell the Slate. A Geologist Wanders Through the World of Wine. You can find the wines we discussed at https://www.nataliemaclean.com/winepicks   Giveaway Two of you are going to win a copy of Alex Maltman's terrific book, Taste the Limestone, Smell the Slate.

I'll choose two people randomly from those who contact me. Good luck!   Highlights How did a good teacher spark Alex's lifelong fascination with geology? What initially attracted Alex to wine and how did his curiosity evolve over the past 50 years? How did Alex's background in geology support his career as a wine writer? In what ways does Alex's first book, Vineyards, Rocks and Soils, differ from his new book, Taste the Limestone, Smell the Slate? Why does Alex believe that the influence of geology on wine is overstated in contrast to its influence on beer? What impact did geology have on how beer first developed? How do geological minerals, nutrient minerals, and the taste perception of minerality differ? What is the relevance of geological age to the growing vine in the bedrock? Does knowing the soil type of the vineyard tell us anything about the wine's characteristics? Why do so many wine drinkers and writers love to talk about geology? How has the concept of terroir been misunderstood and oversimplified? Why is it important to distinguish between the importance of geology for vineyard management versus its influence on the taste of wine in the glass?   Key Takeaways Am I tasting the limestone, smelling the slate? No, you can't. The grower needs to know about his soil. The geology will influence so many things in the vineyard, so the grower may well want to dig soil pits and see what the roots are doing to inform his vineyard management. But this is not the same thing as the flavor that develops in fermentation through to our wine glass. People look at, say, a hill slope with vines on it, and year after year, the wines from here always taste different to the wines from there. What's different? Oh, it's the soil. But at the same time, there's a whole host of invisible factors operating on that hill slope that we know these factors influence how grapes ripen and how the flavor precursors in the grape develop, which are going to go on to in the fermentation make the wine taste like it does. I tend to use the word geological mineral for those compounds that are making half of the vineyard soil and that come together to make rocks. And nutrient mineral, which are single elements, which we need, as well as vines, in order to function. And this word minerality, that's a taste perception. I don't know what it means or what causes it, but that's a different third meaning of the word mineral.   About Dr. Alex Maltman Alex Maltman is Emeritus Professor of Earth Sciences at Aberystwyth University, in Wales, U.K. Alongside a decorated career in university teaching and research, Alex has for fifty years grown vines and made wine at his home.

Send us a textUncover the chilling mystery that lurks beneath Dodge City's storied past. While gunfighters and cattle drives typically dominate Wild West lore, a different kind of legend has quietly persisted for generations – the haunting of the Mueller Schmidt house.The Stone House stands as an architectural anomaly on the Kansas plains. Built in 1881 with imposing two-foot-thick limestone walls, it was designed to last forever in a town where everything else seemed temporary. But according to countless witnesses over the decades, something else has remained permanent within those walls. Disembodied footsteps echo on the grand staircase. Lights flicker on and off in rooms known to be empty. Most haunting of all, a woman's silhouette appears regularly at an upper window, eternally waiting for someone who never returned.What tragedy befell this imposing structure? Was it a heartbroken bride who perished during a merciless Kansas winter? Or does the haunting stem from darker origins – perhaps connected to the violence that earned Dodge City its reputation as "the wickedest little city in America"? Could there be secrets literally buried beneath the foundation?This October, join hosts Michael King and Brad Smalley as they meticulously investigate this enduring mystery, combining rigorous historical research with firsthand accounts to separate chilling folklore from historical fact. They'll unlock the heavy oak door and cross the threshold that generations of Dodge City residents have approached with trepidation. Whether you're a history buff, paranormal enthusiast, or simply love a good mystery, "The Secret of the Stone House" promises to be our most captivating exploration yet of the supernatural side of the Wild West.

In this episode of 1819 News: The Podcast, host and CEO Bryan Dawson sits down with Alabama State Sen. Arthur Orr, Chairman of the Education Trust Fund, for an in-depth conversation on the state's educational landscape, political evolution, and pathways to prosperity. Hailing from North Alabama's rapidly growing District 3, encompassing Morgan County and parts of Limestone and Madison Counties, Orr shares his personal journey—from his roots in a family with deep Alabama ties, to his time in the Peace Corps in Nepal, Habitat for Humanity in South Asia, and his legal career before entering politics in 2006. Orr recounts his challenging entry into the Senate during a Democrat-dominated era, the pivotal 2010 Republican takeover, and the ethics reforms that followed high-profile scandals. As chair of the education budget, he addresses Alabama's persistent education challenges, noting a near-doubling of funding since 2017 under Gov. Kay Ivey. Despite criticisms that increased spending hasn't always yielded results, Orr highlights legislative-driven reforms like the Literacy Act (preventing social promotion for non-readers), the Numeracy Act (boosting math scores from 52nd nationally to the 30s), and the Choose Act, which introduces school choice and competition. He praises these initiatives for originating in the legislature rather than the State School Board, emphasizing accountability and measurable progress. The discussion delves into the Alabama Education Association's diminished influence compared to its heyday under Paul Hubbert, and also Orr's views on higher education, including prioritizing in-state students, scrutinizing out-of-state tuition benefits, and enforcing compliance with laws banning divisive concepts (DEI). He warns of funding cuts for non-compliant institutions and critiques leftist biases in university curricula, advocating for meritocracy and race-neutral policies. Orr also touches on controversial topics like the Magic City Acceptance Academy, suggesting oversight by the state charter commission and potential use of the "power of the purse." Finally, he spotlights his "success sequence" bill—now law—teaching middle schoolers three research-backed steps to escape poverty: graduate high school, get a job, and avoid out-of-wedlock children, boasting a 96% success rate. Tune in for an honest, forward-looking dialogue on reforming Alabama's education system, fostering conservative values, and building a brighter future. Whether you're a parent, educator, or policy enthusiast, this episode offers invaluable insights into the decisions shaping the Yellowhammer State.

This week, stories about what’s going into your mouth. Avocado by Michael Sun This story follows Michael’s bizarre coming-of-age journey - stuffed with avocados, awkward dates, and complicated moments with his mom. Born with a big mouth and having a “stronger-than-average immune system”, he went on to claim a Guinness World Record by devouring 20 avocados in a minute - and then so much more. So, are you ready to devour 21 avocados in a minute? Produced by Michael Sun Supervising producer was Allison Chan Sound design by Mia Hull Eating and Order by Rania Omar This story traces Rania’s journey through a lifelong struggle with eating disorders, shaped by racism, sexism, and impossible beauty standards. From childhood fears of food as an enemy, to panic attacks in the snack aisle, to a bowl of shish barak she made for herself, Rania slowly learns to reclaim her plate, her body, and her joy. You are not just what you eat, you are who you are. Produced by Rania Omar Supervising producer was Sophie Ellis Additional mixing by Zac Pennington. Dark Cherry, Limestone and Meat by Eugenia Zoubtchenko This is a story with lots of fermenting, sipping, and the drinkers ‘ahhhh’. Navigating the vineyard with Eugenia, we witness the magic as each barrel brews fermented potions of raspberries, dark cherries, smoky earth, and even fairy floss. P.S Next time, if a friend accuses you of being an alcoholic, be sure to tell them you are just ‘oenophilic’.

On this edition of The Mark White Show, we're spotlighting three North Alabama football programs that carry pride, tradition, and determination into the 2025 season—East Limestone, Hartselle, and Clements. Hear from head coaches and key players as they reflect on the work they've put in, the leadership they're cultivating, and how they plan to make an impact on and off the field. From the deep-rooted legacy at Hartselle to the growing momentum at East Limestone and the grit of the Clements Colts, these teams share a common goal: to lead with character, compete with heart, and represent their communities with pride.

On this edition of The Mark White Show from Football in the South Media Days, we spotlight three teams who bring grit, heart, and hometown pride to the gridiron: Ardmore Tigers – A team focused on building culture and competing with toughness under new leadership. West Limestone Wildcats – Known for their discipline and physicality, the Wildcats are leaning on senior leadership and community tradition. Loretto Mustangs – Just across the Tennessee line, the Mustangs are striving for another standout season, fueled by a strong work ethic and tight team bond. From locker room lessons to community support, these programs represent more than just football—they represent the values that shape young men both on and off the field.

If cement were a country, it would be the third-largest emitter of carbon dioxide in the world, behind only China and the United States. That's because cement production alone accounts for about five and a half percent of total global greenhouse gas emissions. And while that might seem really high, it actually makes sense. Just look around you: from roads to bridges, sidewalks to buildings, cement is everywhere. It's a critical building block of modern infrastructure.What's striking about cement production is that most of the emissions actually come from the chemical reaction itself—not just from burning fuel to heat the kiln. Cement producers use limestone, a well-known carbon-storing rock we've highlighted in other episodes for its direct air capture potential. But when limestone is heated to make cement, the opposite happens: it releases carbon dioxide, accounting for about 60% of the sector's total emissions. So even if you used 100% clean electricity to power the kilns, most of the emissions would still result from this chemical process.Limestone was originally selected as a main ingredient for cement largely because it was the cheapest option. But what if it wasn't? What if there were other rocks we could use that didn't emit greenhouse gases at all? Better yet, what if they could produce the ingredients for cement cleanly—and generate other products critical to industry?That's exactly what Cody Finke, CEO and Co-Founder of Brimstone, is aiming to deliver: a way to make cement without the emissions—and create other essential industrial materials along the way.SponsorsWatt It Takes is brought to you by HSBC Innovation Banking who is proud to bank some of the most exciting companies pioneering the technologies of tomorrow.With specialist financing support, deep understanding of the challenges, and a global network across more than 50 markets, they help clients scale breakthrough innovations and take them to the world.

In this episode of the Concrete Logic Podcast, Seth Tandett breaks down the 2010 “State-of-the-Art Report on Use of Limestone in Cements” that helped launch Portland Limestone Cement (PLC) into the U.S. market. You'll hear what the report got right, what it left out, and why Europe's cement playbook may not fit American concrete. If you're in the industry, this episode will help you question the assumptions behind the biggest cement shift in decades. Takeaways What happens to concrete strength when limestone content isn't properly optimized? Could higher limestone levels reduce your mix's sulfate resistance? How does increased limestone affect carbonation depth and long-term durability? Is PLC more likely to cause long-term shrinkage or expansion issues? Why are curing practices in Europe so different—and does it matter? How critical is mix design when using PLC instead of traditional cement? Are we relying on research we haven't actually read or fully understood?

In this episode, Brent Lane, Rob Romano, and returning guest Phil Greggs dive deep into the evolving world of white cement, with a special focus on the implications of increased limestone content. The trio breaks down what this shift means for pool plasterers and why the NPC's research on Portland Limestone Cement (PLC) is critical for the industry. What We Talked About: Honoring the legacy and contributions of Joe Diedrich from Federal White Cement. The push toward sustainability and reduced carbon emissions in the cement industry. What “One L Cement” is and why it's becoming the new standard. Surprising results from NPC's first round of cement testing. The science behind limestone additions and how they affect water demand and strength. The importance of conducting lab-controlled tests before field trials. What comes next in Phase 2 of NPC's cement research. Global supply chain influences and regulatory pressure shaping white cement production.

We hear why Sarah is starting to get messages from people from "beyond the grave." We discuss animal sounds and how people around the world imitate animals through onomatopoeia, and why they're all different. We're mad about the ladies that went to space and acted like morons. We debate whether a man who got stolen casino chips should be able to cash them out. We get an update on the family who accidentally ended up with 52 octopuses, and it offers insight about the dangers of virality. We think aliens are stealing cows again and we don't understand why the town doesn't realize that's where their livestock went. Sarah thinks aliens also turn people into limestone though, so who knows. Plus, we learn what makes a good apology by analyzing the apologies on Real Housewives of Salt Lake City.Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comJoin our Candy Club, shop our merch, sign-up for our free newsletter, & more by visiting The Brain Candy Podcast website: https://www.thebraincandypodcast.comConnect with us on social media:BCP Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastSusie's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterSarah's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBCP on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodSponsors:This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

What if you were told there's better concrete out there with more limestone than what's used in Type IL cement mixes? Sounds crazy, right? But that's exactly what we're exploring today with John Guynn and John Kline. In this episode, we explore ACI 211-7R and its potential to reduce cement content without sacrificing performance. Learn how adjusting particle size distribution, using admixtures, and understanding the water-cement ratio can improve workability and strength. Plus, get insights on the challenges and benefits of low carbon concrete, real-world applications, and the regulatory hurdles that must be overcome to make these innovations standard in construction. Don't miss it! What's Inside: Limestone reduces cement content in concrete mixes. ACI 211-7R provides guidelines for using mineral fillers. Particle size distribution and admixtures optimize performance. Real-world applications demonstrate the benefits of reduced cement mixes. Low carbon concrete excels in strength, workability, and durability. Regulatory challenges exist around water-cement ratios and limestone classification. Smarter material use can reduce costs and improve sustainability. Ongoing research is key to advancing concrete technology.
