Repost: One Goal, Many Paths - Next Steps After Not Matching feat. Drs. Brian Fung, Beju Shah, David Vu, Tony Dao Today's episode is a REPOST to 2019's special episode about next steps after not matching. The four of us have had different stories on what we did after not matching and want to let you know that it's OKAY. There's still Phase 2, there's still other pathways to get to where you want to go. Original Shownotes from 2019: This year, over 4000 thousand applicants matched for a PGY1 or PGY2 pharmacy residency program. These individuals are moving on to an amazing opportunity where they can continue to expand their skillset and evolve their knowledge. But… over 2000 applicants did NOT get this chance. If you were one of the individuals who did not match, know that you are NOT alone. Know that it's OKAY. Know that there are MANY different pathways to achieve your end goal. On today's special episode, Dr. Beju Shah, Dr. Brian Fung, Dr. David Vu, and Dr. Tony Dao all share their stories of how they did not match for residency and talk about the next steps they took that eventually navigated them into their DREAM careers. We encourage anyone who's listening to share your story and let everyone know that they are NOT alone. Please share your stories on any social media outlet using #OneGoalManyPaths #YourPharmacyStory .

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: The epistemic virtue of scope matching, published by jasoncrawford on March 15, 2023 on LessWrong. [This post will probably go up on The Roots of Progress, but I wanted to get comments from the LessWrong community first.] I keep noticing a particular epistemic pitfall (not exactly a “fallacy”), and a corresponding epistemic virtue that avoids it. I want to call this out and give it a name, or find out what its name is, if it already has one. The virtue is: identifying the correct scope for a phenomenon you are trying to explain, and checking that the scope of any proposed cause matches the scope of the effect. Let me illustrate this virtue with some examples of the pitfall that it avoids. Geography A common mistake among Americans is to take a statistical trend in the US, such as the decline in violent crime in the 1990s, and then hypothesize a US-specific cause, without checking to see whether other countries show the same trend. (The crime drop was actually seen in many countries. This is a reason, in my opinion, to be skeptical of US-specific factors, such as Roe v. Wade, as a cause.) Time Another common mistake is to look only at a short span of time and to miss the longer-term context. To continue the previous example, if you are theorizing about the 1990s crime drop, you should probably know that it was the reversal of an increase in violent crime that started in the 1960s. Further, you should know that the very long-term trend in violent crime is a gradual decrease, with the late 20th century being a temporary reversal. Any theory should fit these facts. A classic mistake on this axis is attempting to explain a recent phenomenon by a very longstanding cause (or vice versa). For instance, why is pink associated with girls and blue with boys? If your answer has something to do with the timeless, fundamental nature of masculinity or femininity—whoops! It turns out that less than a century ago, the association was often reversed (one article from 1918 wrote that pink was “more decided and stronger” whereas blue was “delicate and dainty”). This points to a something more contingent, a mere cultural convention. The reverse mistake is blaming a longstanding phenomenon on a recent cause, something like trying to blame “kids these days” on the latest technology: radio in the 1920s, TV in the ‘40s, video games in the ‘80s, social media today. Vannevar Bush was more perceptive, writing in his memoirs simply: “Youth is in rebellion. That is the nature of youth.” (Showing excellent awareness of the epistemic issue at hand, he added that youth rebellion “occurs all over the world, so that one cannot ascribe a cause which applies only in one country.”) Other examples If you are trying to explain the failure Silicon Valley Bank, you should probably at least be aware that one or two other banks failed around the same time. Your explanation is more convincing if it accounts for all of them (but of course it shouldn't “explain too much”; that is, it shouldn't apply to banks that didn't fail, without including some extra factor that accounts for those non-failures). To understand why depression and anxiety are rising among teenage girls, the first question I would ask is which other demographics if any is this happening to? And how long has it been going on? To understand what explains sexual harassment in the tech industry, I would first ask what other industries have this problem (e.g., Hollywood)? Are there any that don't? An excellent example of practicing the virtue I am talking about here is the Scott Alexander post “Black People Less Likely”, in which he points out that blacks are underrepresented in a wide variety of communities, from Buddhism to bird watching. If you want to understand what's going on here, you need to look for some fairly general causes (Scott suggests ...

Neil introduces a few techniques to build rapport and increase the effectiveness of teaching to any student. If used well, they can be used to improve communication and ease, increasing your chances of making good progress with even a difficult client.  KEY TAKEAWAYS The more like us we perceive a person to be the more we like them.  The Neurolinguistic Programming Techniques of matching and mirroring can be employed to achieve this result.  Matching is the replication of another's body language and movements in order to gain rapport. However, be careful to not adopt this approach too early in case they think you are mocking them.   Mirroring is a technique similar to matching, but using a direct reflective technique to create a mirror image of their movements.   Match their language patterns. This can often happen naturally, as with the copying of accents or inflexions of speech, but also mimic the level of vocabulary.  BEST MOMENTS ‘We are more able to influence them. As teachers, that's what we do. This is why old sales manuals used to suggest that salespeople should be able to speak enthusiastically about almost anything the customer says.'  ‘As adults, we retain these unconscious ‘fitting in' skills and we use them most with people we know and like.'  ‘Another language cue is the propensity to use colourful language. So if someone drops an F-bomb every sentence and you feel it's appropriate, you drop one.'  ‘Take a look at their posture. Do they stand tall and straight or are they stooped over? If they're sitting down, how do they sit?'  VALUABLE RESOURCES The Tutor Podcast  www.Neilcowmeadow.com ABOUT THE HOST Neil Cowmeadow is a maverick peripatetic guitar teacher from Telford with over 19 years' experience in the business of helping people.

[Skip the 5-minute introduction if you want to just get to the question types!] Different websites have different ways of categorising IELTS Reading Question types. See my latest blog for all the details: https://ieltsetc.com/2023/03/how-many-ielts-reading-question-types/ In my online courses, I follow the official IELTS.org guidelines, and I have simplified the types so that you focus more on developing your reading skills. Developing good reading skills will enable you to answer all question types. The 3 basic categories are: Matching things (headings, statements, features, sentence endings, dates, people, choosing from a list) Filling in gaps (summaries, notes, tables, flowcharts, sentences, diagrams) Choosing from a list (Multiple Choice, True, False, Not Given and Yes, No, Not Given) In this blog, I examine the official 11 Question Types as outlined on IELTS.org and explain how other teachers and websites might label them. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/ieltsetc/message

In this episode of BackTable ENT, Dr. Gopi Shah and Dr. Amal Isaiah, a pediatric otolaryngologist at the University of Maryland, discuss how to apply to US residency programs as an international medical graduate (IMG) and the unique challenges applicants may face during the process. --- EARN CME Reflect on how this Podcast applies to your day-to-day and earn free AMA PRA Category 1 CMEs: https://earnc.me/FnL1R4 --- SHOW NOTES First, Dr. Isaiah recaps his medical journey, which took him from India to the UK for a PhD, and then to the US for residency and fellowship. Then, he explains what IMG applicants can do to strengthen their applications before applying. He emphasizes the importance of making connections to the American programs through doing research work. These positions can be obtained through cold calling and emails, but he notes that there are also tenures and society fellowships available. Unfortunately, many of these positions are usually unpaid. Dr. Isaiah recommends that international medical students pursue postgraduate training in their home country and spend 5-6 years in the United States doing research before applying to US residency programs. There is a less common, alternative way to match into residency by first completing an unaccredited US fellowship program and then applying for residency. Dr. Shah and Dr. Isaiah also discuss board exams for IMGs, which include Step 1, Step 2, and Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG) certifications. They agree that letters of recommendation and personal statements are important. Dr. Isaiah recommends that IMG applicants read US applicant essays and have their mentors look over their essays for language and grammar revisions. Finally, the doctors discuss the different types of visas that are needed for IMG residents and attendings (i.e.- H-1 visa, J-1 visa) and differences between visas, sponsorships, and green cards. He notes that the process of obtaining a visa has been made more challenging by the COVID-19 pandemic. --- RESOURCES ASPO Fellowships https://aspo.us/page/fellowshiplisting Dr. Isaiah's LinkedIn Profile https://www.linkedin.com/in/amal-isaiah-a6a71b6/

So making sure that it's smooth, making sure that it's not antagonistic, that it's friendly and beneficial to the company. Long term, I provide actual marketing benefit." - Kyle Martin "The one I do every Saturday actually is the food bank in the University district in Seattle. I go there every Saturday for three hours. I stock shelves and make bags for people to be delivered to their houses. Food insecurity is a real thing. I used to, I used to work at Teen Feed, which was specifically geared toward feeding homeless people under 18. that we're experiencing food insecurity and that I've always been a very enthusiastic cook." - Kyle Martin "The reason that those people who refer other people are so relevant is because they're keeping in mind the well being people around them. So, yeah, you're right. You do want people who are serious and who are you, Who are strategically minded in your, in your orbit." - Kyle Martin Links & Emails: Kyle's Email Ghost Mountain Website Kyle's LinkedIn Beefy Marketing Website John Kelley's Website Small Business Origins Website

How do we tie interventions - whether traditional education or boot camps or training programs - to job outcomes? As we'll explore in this episode, it requires a demand-led approach and starts with employers. In this episode, we're going to focus on the platforms doing the matching - those that are explicitly working to better connect supply and demand in the job marketplace, to achieve the employment outcomes we wish to see across the continent. 4:03 - We start our exploration on matching with the traditional jobs marketplaces, with The African Talent Company's Hilda Kragha.6:26 - What kinds of roles are most in demand across the African content?8:15 - Taking a demand-led approach, with Generation's Dr. Mona Mourshed.14:05 - How do we get more employers to consider evolving their hiring practices, in the context of such an inefficient labor market?17:34 - A retrospective conversation with The Flip's b-mic Sayo Folawiyo, and its Founder, Justin Norman.Season 4 of The Flip is sponsored by MFS Africa.Follow The Flip on Twitter @theflipafrica and subscribe to our newsletter The Flip Notes at https://theflip.africa/newsletter.

Listening deeply to the market before you even put pen to paper and draw your first paper prototype is very important. In terms of the buying process, in order to be more productive and efficient as an industry you have to build relationship capital with your customers.  Don't treat your buyer as a potential target, an account, or as a number; treat them as a person. Not every big name vendor fits every single buyer out there. “One size fits all” doesn't work in the cyberspace anymore.  We should all be more gutsy about changing the script and changing how things are done. Brutally honest insights from Victoria Germanova, Founder & CEO of Callity.  In this episode, Dani Woolf had a conversation with Victoria about: Tactics and strategies to successfully reach buyers and get them to open up. Why buyers are feeling like things are rushed from renewals or an expansion standpoint.  Challenges that vendors are experiencing in terms of the buying process with cybersecurity buyers. How  both buyers and vendors can be more productive and efficient as an industry in terms of the buying process. What Callity is and what solutions they are providing to the industry. How to bridge the gap that occurs between the human element and automation when trying to build relationship capital. Feedback points from buyers that are helping Victoria formulate next steps for Callity and the cybersecurity industry.

He also saw that the next generation of manufacturing technicians didn't want to be locked into 40+ hours of guaranteed labor. So he created Varyable, an on-demand marketplace for manufacturing and warehouse labor. Varyable is on a tear, and Mike's leadership philsophy is making a mark on a legacy industry.

Today on Keep It Simple we're getting into a new law, The Secure Act 2.0. This law is the government's way to remove obstacles to retirements to make it easier for the average American to save money for retirement. The Asset Builder team is explaining some of the changes this law brings that normal individuals should be aware of. 25% of American adults don't have savings, so if you fall under that statistic the Secure Act 2.0 helps you out by allowing you to catch up on your retirement contributions. Arguably the most important change that comes from the Secure Act 2.0 is the rules surrounding Roth accounts. We're talking about Roth accounts in detail and these accounts can be huge assets to individuals. QCCs are also changing a little bit and are a great tool to use. Arguably the biggest change Secure 2.0 is making is requiring businesses to defer 3% of their employee's incomes into retirement accounts. This law will change things for you, whether in big or small ways, so it is important for you to go talk to your advisor to find out how it'll impact you.

In this episode of Smart Energy Voices, host John Failla shares a special keynote from Smart Energy Decisions' recent Renewable Energy Forum. Rob Threlkeld, Global Manager of Sustainable Energy, Supply, and Reliability for General Motors, shares how General Motors reached its 100% renewable energy goal a whole generation ahead of schedule. You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in... GM's goals for a zero-emission future [01:35] Renewable goals from leadership [06:50] The impact of the supply chain on a business [08:49] EVs as a pathway to decarbonization [11:46] Decarbonizing utility and transportation [21:52] Transforming a company The energy transformation at General Motors is the first part of the company's bold vision of zero crashes, zero emissions, and zero congestion. GM is a big energy purchaser but procurements . However, procurement accounts for only 1% of the company's carbon emissions. Scaling zero emissions efforts requires the transportation industry's transformation to electric vehicles. GM aims to be an all-electric vehicle manufacturer of all its light-duty vehicles by 2035. That goal requires the company, which has built ICE vehicles for the last 100 years, to transform into an all-electric vehicle manufacturer in just twelve years. Moving transportation to decarbonization How can the vehicle industry truly achieve zero emissions? Many changes will have to occur on the state and federal levels. Changing the car industry goes well beyond General Motors and will require everyone in the entire industry. , including the supply chain. It is critical to work closely with the supply chain to move it down the path of decarbonization. If the production of supplies is interrupted, vehicles can't be made.  GM's renewable energy U.S. footprint is about 3.5 terawatt hours, and the company has accumulated about 1500 megawatts of renewables across several projects over several states and RTOs. The company looks specifically for projects located within its manufacturing footprint. GM has been working with utilities to create green tariff programs and to find ways to expand those programs beyond just General Motors. Energy solutions GM recently announced the energy side of the business that is enabling solutions in the whole energy ecosystem. Matching these renewable solutions with manufacturing will be critical to decarbonizing utility and transportation and ultimately driving a more resilient grid. As GM grows its EV portfolio, the company needs to ensure that demand matches the generation portfolio and continues to scale.   Resources & People Mentioned General Motors and DTE Energy are Making Michigan a Clean Energy Powerhouse GM Ventures Textron Fuel Cell System Manufacturing LLC Connect with Rob Threlkeld On LinkedIn Rob Threlkeld is the Global Manager of Sustainable Energy, Supply, and Reliability for General Motors, leading the company's energy procurement efforts, including the commitment to meet the electricity needs of its global operations with 100 percent renewable energy by 2050.

Founder of WealthForLife.net, Denver Nowicz, is a seasoned fiduciary with over 20 years of experience in the financial industry. As a fiduciary, Denver is committed to always acting in the best interests of his clients and never being confined to one specific strategy. Denver excels in collaborating with highly compensated clients to design and implement strategies aimed at scaling their wealth. With a large network of successful clients at his disposal, Denver is able to gather cutting-edge wealth building techniques and share them with the Wealth For Life community. Denver, who had an entrepreneurial mindset from a young age, started his career in marketing before transitioning to financial services. He saw the gap in financial advice that his parents received and wanted to fix the problem. Throughout his career, Denver has always been an entrepreneur, and he has never worked for anyone else. PLAYING OFFENSE-DEFENSE IN YOUR INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO Many financial advisors recommend stocks to clients, regardless of their net worth, however, Denver takes a different approach in his practice -- emphasizing the importance of business interests in addition to traditional investments. He believes that wealth comes from creating businesses, and that there is a direct correlation between net worth and business interests. Most investment portfolios are heavily focused on stocks and bonds, but some investors choose to explore alternative investments. These alternative risks pose a greater risk, but Denver believes they are important to incorporate into a diverse portfolio. Denver presents an "offense defense" framework, where he segments assets into offensive and defensive categories: Offensive assets are the ones that are more volatile and come with higher risk. Offensive assets may include: Stocks in high-growth companies or start-ups Crypto currencies and other digital assets Private equity or venture capital investments High-yield bonds or junk bonds Defensive assets are more stable and provide steady cash flow. Defensive assets may include: Cash and cash equivalents Real estate investment trusts (REITs) Insurance products, such as a tax-free matching program Utilities and infrastructure stocks Healthcare stocks The idea behind having defensive assets in a portfolio is to create a solid foundation that can provide steady income, so when markets become volatile or other investments don't perform as well, the portfolio is protected. Investors who start with a defense-first mindset are more likely to make better decisions and avoid panic when markets become volatile. With a solid foundation in place, they are in a better position to take on more investments and pursue bigger deals. This way, they can grow their business and net worth while also managing risk. The Importance of Financial Leverage for Entrepreneurs As an entrepreneur, your main asset is likely your business, however, it is important to diversify your portfolio and invest in other assets, such as stocks and bonds, to mitigate risk. This is often the first step recommended by financial advisors to those with excess cash flow from their business. For many business owners, the thought of pulling money out of their business can be a daunting prospect. This is where the principle of financial leverage comes into play. Financial leverage is the use of borrowed money to increase the return on an investment. In other words: It's using other people's money to increase your financial gain. Denver suggests that entrepreneurs should be educated on the principles of financial leverage, and how it can be used in a safe way. Denver points out that the average investor tends to chase risk using their own money and gets upset when they lose, whereas the wealthy use large amounts of other people's money in safe assets to minimize risk. One strategy Denver recommends is 3 to 1 Tax-free Matching. This strategy involves having a bank match a business owner's investment three to one, creating a larger asset that produces a tax-free income stream. This not only reduces the amount of capital the business owner needs to take out of the business, but it also frees up capital to be retained in the business, where it may still have the highest return on investment. Making the Transition from Entrepreneur to Dealmaker Being an entrepreneur and being a dealmaker are two different mentalities that not everyone is able to make the transition from one to the other. While some individuals may have a natural tendency to become a deal maker, others may find it a bit harder to adjust to the mindset. In this blog post, we'll explore the challenges that entrepreneurs face when making the transition and what it takes to succeed as a deal maker. The first step in making the transition from entrepreneur to deal maker is understanding that it requires a different mindset. Entrepreneurs are often focused on building their businesses from the ground up, providing good products and services, and growing their customer base. On the other hand, dealmakers are focused on acquiring and investing in businesses, real estate, or other investment opportunities. To make the transition, it's important to surround yourself with successful people who have made the transition themselves. This could include business owners who have made successful deals, high-net-worth individuals, and other professionals in the financial industry. By networking with these individuals, entrepreneurs can learn about the pitfalls and challenges that come with deal making, as well as get insights into what it takes to succeed. Lastly, entrepreneurs need to be aware that deal making is a gradual process and requires patience. It's important to have a clear strategy in place and to be willing to put in the time and effort required to make successful investments. Whether it's acquiring another business or investing in real estate, the key to success is having a clear plan and staying focused on your goals. • • • FOR MORE ON DENVER NOWICZ:https://wealthforlife.net/https://twitter.com/DenverNowiczhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/denvernowicz/ Corey Kupfer is an expert strategist, negotiator, and dealmaker.

In markets, risk and return go hand in hand. The more risk you can take with your portfolio, and the more time you can leave money invested in markets that generate a risk premium, the higher your expected return will be.Even through periods like the dot com bubble and the Great Recession, long-term risk exposure was not punished, it was actually rewarded if you stayed invested through all the chaos. If too much of your money is exposed to risk and markets hit a period of turbulence, there may be a loss of capital, but expertise in management can shield you from these times of market turmoil.It may sound very simple, but the process of properly thinking through your priorities and figuring out what you need now, and what you can do without until later, ends up generating a great deal of wealth over your investment life cycle and keeps any market hiccups from interrupting your day to day life.Have questions for an upcoming episode?

Map: Sonoma County AVAs. Sonoma County Winegrowers  Over the last 12 years we've done so much on Sonoma but I realized that we've never done a podcast outlining the areas of Sonoma to give form to this wine paradise that has 18 American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) and covers more than a million acres of land (405,000 ha) of which more than 60,000 acres are planted to grapes.   Sonoma is still full of small, family-owned vineyards. It's estimated that at least 85% of Sonoma County's vineyards are family owned and operated and 80% of vineyards are less than 100 acres (40% are less than 20 acres). The Sonoma landscape incorporates coastal ranges, valleys, mountains, flats, benchlands, and innumerable soils and microclimates, including a multitude of producers with different styles and ideas of what to grow.     In this show, we try to compartmentalize the areas of Sonoma, to help you figure out the big areas and their specialties.   Here are the show notes: We start with generalities… Climate: There are sunny days and almost no rain from May through September with most areas cooler near the coast and warmer inland. The Pacific Ocean/Petaluma Gap and San Pablo Bay serve as cooling influences for the western and southern regions of Sonoma County Land: Elevations and slopes slow ripening, provide poor soils with excellent drainage, and create complex wines. Wines from valley floors are simpler. Matching grape to site is important given soil, elevation, and climate diversity. Grapes: Everyone grows everything! You'll find dozens of varieties growing in Sonoma. Moon Mountain AVA, Sonoma. Credit: Sonoma County Winegrowers  Most of the show is spent detailing the valleys. Here is the quick and dirty on each area:   Sonoma Valley Sonoma Valley AVA: Centers on the Sonoma Valley in the southeastern part of the county. It gets cool air from the San Pablo Bay in the south, and protection from the cool influence of the Pacific in the west from Sonoma Mountain. There are dozens of different soils from very fertile on the valley floor, to well-drained and poor on the hills and mountains   Sonoma Valley has 4 AVAs within it: Moon Mountain, Sonoma Mountain, Bennett Valley, Carneros Moon Mountain District AVA is on the steep western slope of the Mayacamas Mountains. It has the famed Monte Rosso vineyard and specializes in Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon. Sonoma Mountain AVA is at high altitude, with steep vineyards on eastern exposures. The vineyards rise above the fog line, allowing grapes to ripen more fully in the sunlight. Basalt soils make good Cabernet Sauvignon. Other grapes are: Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon, Pinot Noir, Zinfandel   Bennett Valley AVA is Sonoma Valley's smallest AVA. It's a series of small vineyards in the slopes, hills, and ridges between Taylor Mountain, Sonoma Mountain, and Bennett Peak. In the moderately cool climate, with a long hang time, Rhône varieties do well as does Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, and grapes like Marsanne, Roussanne, Viognier with acidity. Pinot Noir acreage is increasing.   Los Carneros AVA straddles Napa and Sonoma counties. It hugs the San Pablo Bay, and is one of the coolest AVAs in the area, with moderately cool and windy days and early morning fog. The soil is compressed clay and very consistent, this and the weather limits vigor. Chardonnay is 50%, Pinot 43%. Merlot makes excellent wine on the clay soils. Bennett Valley AVA, Sonoma. Credit: Sonoma County Winegrowers  Town to stay in if visiting the area: Sonoma   ** Sonoma Valley is a discrete part of the larger Sonoma County. When producers use a general AVA for grapes from a combined region, it's Sonoma County. _____________________________________________  COASTAL APPELLATIONS (mainly Chardonnay and Pinot Noir areas)   Sonoma Coast AVA: Goes from the San Pablo Bay to the border of Mendocino County in the north. This appellation is too large to have meaning – it can be cold and rugged near the coast or warm and sheltered inland, producing very different styles of wine. The expectation is that the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay that have the “Sonoma Coast” label are actually from coastal vineyards, but that's not true. We tell the story of how this AVA got to be so muddled and then talk about the 3 AVAs that were set up to rectify the issue:   Petaluma Gap AVA: 25 miles north of the Golden Gate Bridge, the AVA runs from the Pacific Coast at Bodega Bay, southeast to San Pablo Bay, and has a mild Mediterranean climate. The defining feature is the wind gap in the coastal range, which funnels in cool coastal marine air bringing fog and cool afternoon breezes. The cool climate lower yields and help Pinot Noir (75% of plantings), Chardonnay and Syrah the grapes retain acidity. The West Sonoma Coast AVA (got it in 2022): Stretches from the Mendocino County border to the northern coastal border of the Petaluma Gap AVA. The area includes ONLY areas where coastal influence reaches – it is remote with cooler marine temperatures and much fog at elevation. Pinot Noir and Chardonnay are the main grapes. Fort Ross-Seaview AVA: Located on the outskirts of the Pacific Ocean, with major coastal influence, and high elevation, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay have excellent acidity.   Towns to stay in: Petaluma, Jenner, Bodega Bay West Sonoma Coast AVA,  Sonoma. Credit: Sonoma County Winegrowers    _____________________________________  RUSSIAN RIVER VALLEY AVA (Pinot Noir, but Rhône and Italian varietals are great too in certain regions)   Russian River Valley AVA is known for Pinot Noir. The constant cooling fog from the Pacific Ocean, coming from the Petaluma Wind Gap creates big diurnal swings, so grapes have a long growing season to develop flavor in the western part of the AVA.   The reality is that the Russian River Valley encompasses warm and cool areas. There are 5 Neighborhoods within Russian River Valley, which are used to discuss the cooler places that are more suited to Pinot Noir and Chardonnay (Laguna Ridge, Sebastapol Hills, parts of the Middle Reach) and those that are suited to warmer climate grapes like Rhône varieties, Zinfandel, and Italian varieties (parts of the Middle Reach, Santa Rosa Plains, Eastern Hills)   Green Valley of Russian River Valley SUB AVA of Russian River is in the southwestern part of the Russian River Valley, surrounded by Sebastopol, Forestville and Occidental. It is very cool, foggy, with heavy coastal influences and produces acidic, less extracted Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and sparkling wines on its Goldridge (yellow, sandy) soil     Chalk Hill AVA is in the northeast part of Russian River Valley and has less marine influence and fog. It has rocky, chalk soils so they do grow Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc, but they also grow Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Merlot.   Town to stay in: Santa Rosa, Healdsburg, or Windsor    _______________________________________ DRY CREEK VALLEY AVA (Zinfandel central)   Dry Creek is the easiest valley to visit (2 roads, 5 stop signs!) and probably the easiest to understand. It is known for exceptional Zinfandel. It's in northern Sonoma County, 20 miles/32 km east of the Pacific Ocean. The Coastal Range blocks a lot of the cooler air from flooding the Dry Creek, giving it hotter days and slimmer diurnal swings at night. The vineyards lie on hillsides, benchlands, and the valley floor at different elevations and on different soils – from loam to clay to gravel. Zinfandel is 30% of plantings and is more elegant, and “old school” (especially from producers like Nalle or Peterson – friends of the pod!). The flavors are less like black fruit and more like raspberry, pomegranate with acidity and moderate alcohol. Other varieties grown are: Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay very good Italian and Rhone Varieties, Bordeaux varieties grown too     Rockpile (Dry-Creek Adjacent, great Zin!): On the northern part of Dry Creek Valley, at high elevations beyond the fog, the AVA is great for rich, dense reds – Zin especially is famed (Bruliam does a great job and a friend of the show!)   Town to stay in: Healdsburg or Windsor   Dry Creek AVA, Sonoma. Credit: Sonoma County Winegrowers    _______________________________________   ALEXANDER VALLEY (known for Cabernet Sauvignon) Alexander Valley AVA: In northeastern Sonoma County, north of Healdsburg, the Russian River flows through h the Alexander Valley. It gets some cool marine air from the Pacific Ocean, and wind can cool mornings and evenings. Daytime heat spikes will ripen the grapes, but the cool wind will preserve the acidity in the classic Cabernet Sauvignon, which is so coveted, that many Napa wineries grow Cab here for top cuvees.     Pine Mountain – Cloverdale Peak (Alexander Valley adjacent) AVA: This small area overlaps the northernmost portions of the Alexander Valley AVA. It is steep with high elevations and grows a number of grapes, including Cabernet Sauvignon.   Alexander Valley AVA, Sonoma. Credit: Sonoma County Winegrowers    _______________________________________ Less visit-able places (yes, I know that's not a word)…   Knights Valley AVA is right next to Mount St. Helena, and has well-drained soils, but very warm temperatures with no Pacific or San Pablo Bay influence. Elevation is the only cooling factor in this area that has volcanic and alluvial gravel and focuses on Cabernet Sauvignon (2/3 of plantings) and other Bordeaux varietals. Kendall Jackson owns most of Knights Valley.     Northern Sonoma AVA: Too huge for any meaning – most producers use Sonoma County AVA. It includes Chalk Hill, Knights Valley, Alexander Valley, Dry Creek Valley, Russian River Valley, and most of Green Valley.     Fountaingrove AVA (2015) – mostly growers, few wineries. Cabernet Sauvignon and Bordeaux varietals, some Rhône varietals – Syrah, Viognier, Petite Sirah plus smatterings of everything. It's too hot for Pinot and Chard except in a few key north-facing sites   So much to explore! Sonoma is a place you can need get enough of, but hopefully this episode gives some form to exactly what you want to do when you finally make it out there!    Some of my favorite people mentioned: @sonomawineguy on Twitter and other Social Media, Nalle Winery, Crux Winery, Bruliam Winery, Keller Estate, Inman Family, Kieran Robinson Wines, Truchard Winery, (and I forgot to mention...Longboard Vineyards in Russian River!).   _______________________________________________________________ Thanks to our sponsors:   I could not be happier to announce my partnership with Wine Access, once again.
