When Steve Jackson stopped drinking in 2023 he noticed something odd. As much as non-alc drinks have improved over the past twenty years no one was making a zero proof alternative in the premium wine space. He set out to fix that with Society de la Rassi, which offers a high-end drinking and aesthetic experience at 0.5% ABV. Steve sits down with Greg to talk about positioning his product in the market, the process by which the wine is created, and the ongoing discourse around mocktails and low and no alcohol drinks. Why ARE people drinking less anyway? They put their heads together to get to the bottom of it.Plus, major news out of the northeast!

By night they come. The teeth. Shimmering, effervescent motes of white against the eternal black. The teeth. A dental deity dancing distractingly, disastrously close. The teeth. A flash in the moonlight, a pearl-white smile. They shine. They sparkle. The teeth. Our least favorite romance movie cliche.

Join Wine Educator David Reuss, Adv. Somm as he interviews Chapel Down's winemaker, Josh Donaghay-Spire on all things sparkling.

This episode features a conversation with Scott Neal, the winemaker and owner at Coeur de Terre Vineyard in the Willamette Valley of Oregon. Along with his wife Lisa, they crafted a humble 57 cases in their inaugural 2002 vintage but have grown to making over 6000 cases a year of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, Riesling, Syrah, and Sparkling wines from grapes grown on their estate vineyard in the McMinnville AVA. We talk a lot about geology in this episode because his wine style is focused on reflecting the time and place from which the grapes were grown by employing a gentle hand and allowing the grapes to express in their voice. In the vineyard, organic growing practices have been followed from the beginning in 1998 with a concentration on regenerative farming. The fun connection we discovered was that we both have roots in Minnesota - Scott grew up on a southern Minnesota farm from which he learned a strong work ethic as well as gained respect for the land and for the whims of Mother Nature. Scott, Lisa and their daughters, Abigail and Tallulah, live on the estate vineyard along with their dog Cici. You can visit www.cdtvineyard.com to learn about and order their wines, and you can follow @cdtvineyard on Instagram. Thank you to the Willamette Valley Wineries Association for connecting us when Pinot in the City came to Atlanta!Recorded June 9, 2025

After trying the Bloom Sparkling Energy drinks before its official launch last year (and getting a better sense of the overall go-to-market strategy), I provided a very rare public statement on a beverage within the pre-launch phase of the commercialization cycle. And for those that might think I'm capping…you can ask AI to analyze thousands of my short- and long-form content pieces over the last decade. Yet, it would only find one other occasion where I declared pre-launch that massive success was guaranteed for an energy drink. But just like GHOST Energy a handful of years earlier…something felt special about Bloom Sparkling Energy, even as most beverage industry pundits questioned the extension strategy by the “greens supplement company.” And within our conversation…Bloom Nutrition Co-Founder (and CEO), Greg LaVecchia, explained just how insanely successful the initial year has been surrounding those Bloom Sparkling Energy drinks. Also, we discuss how…with help from the Nutrabolt (and KDP) strategic partnerships, the brand is building on those breakout wins in the beverage category by launching Bloom Pop, its answer to what fans feel the modern soda category is missing.

Castello Bonomi is located in Coccaglio at 275 meters above sea level above the foothills of Monte Orfano. The estate is a 32 hectares mosaic of cru. The incredible terroir is the result of the tectonic uplift that created the Monte Orfano and consist of calcareous conglomerate. The calcareous conglomerate is a chalky, crumbly and rich in minerals kind of soil. Thanks to Monte Orfano and the southern exposure the vineyards are protected from cold northern winds and enjoy a perfect solar radiation with a rainfall lower than the other areas of Franciacorta. These three elements make possible to obtain wines with an extraordinary persistence, structure and complexity, in addition to an elegant minerality and a marked saltiness. Castello Bonomi was born in 1985 and in 2008, the winery becomes part of Casa Paladin, a family-owned group of wineries, located in Italy's most prestigious denominations. Castello Bonomi follows the principles of organic farming, adopting a responsible approach aimed at minimizing environmental impact through practices that improve and protect the vineyard ecosystem. Castello Bonomi Franciacorta wines boast great longevity and undergo extensive aging on the lees. They are highly appreciated and awarded by major industry guides such as Wine Enthusiast and James Suckling.  

Ische Hengert - der Walliser Podcast   mim  Walter Schwery - www.buchbinderei-schwery.ch Print + Medien Verarbeiter   Losät - losät - losät.   Herzlich Willkommen zurück beim Walliser Podcast - Ische Hengert und was fär nä tollääää Hengert isch das xsi mim Walter. Nun wie bin ich eigentlich auf den Walter gekommen - gestossen ? Durch Mund - zu Mund Werbung und weil ich ja bei Tina Lötscher war. Die liebe Frau von Allerlei Oberwallis und ja mit Ihr und Ihrem Lebensabschnittspartner dem Julius vom Vorhangshop hatte ich ja auch schon einen tollen Hengert.   Sie wiederum erklärte mir dass auch ihr Label einheimisch gedruckt wurde und ja klar beim Walter. Bei wem? Walter kenne ich nicht. Na der Walter von der Buchbinderei Schwery in Brig und der macht allerhand. Dieser wiederum kennt ja auch den Designer der Etikette - den Sven Frachebourg von Vaid und ja so schliesst sich der Kreis.    Aber eben - der Walter der würde mir auch nur ein Buch drucken, und er druckt rechteckig, halbrund und dreieckige Bücher. Er druckt Diplomarbeiten, am liebsten dicke gut gefüllte mit viel Text gestaltete Diplomarbeiten und noch dickere Bewerbungsdossiers. Mit less is more kann er nichts anfangen? Wäre ja auch schlecht fürs Geschäft und darum freute er sich auch ja auf den DRUCK von meinem ersten BUCH. Mehr als 700 Seiten oder wie mein Freund Beat Anthamatten nun sagen wurde - more peppar - less paper und ja nu.    Übrigens das Krautfunding „Geldsammeln“ bitte bättiiii gib mär - last Calls for your Stutz -10 Days to go -  its a win weine win Situation - sie geben - ich gebe zurück und man investiert ja so bei einem Crouwdfunding nie ins Lehre, sicher können sie ihr Geld dem Fastenopfer spenden, oder eben einen Lotto Zettel damit ausfüllen - scho rächt ! Aber einen riesen Dank an alle welche mein Buch und Studio Projekt bis anhin schon unterstützt haben und welche noch dazukommen mögen.    Mit Walter diskutierte ich über Gott und den Frieden und er meint - er sei wohl ein kritischer Katholik und würde sich eher als Christ bezeichnen. Natürlich disktutierten wir auch über Verzettelung und wo sonst ist die Gefahr der Verzettelung grösser als in einem Atelier voller Papier und ? Weil der Walter druckt mit modernster Technik alles mögliche - auch Agenden, Kalendern, Wein und Menükarten und ja wo fängt man auf und wo hört man auf ? Hilft Disziplin? Banknoten kann er offiziell nicht drucken aber wer würde das in der Öffentlichkeit einfach zu geben. Ich bin überzeugt, dass das der Walter kann - aber eben.    Im RadioRottu  läuft gerade das Lied - Live is a Highway und da kommt mir gerade die Mundartversion von  Hans + Ruedi in den Sinn und ja ä mal bisch drauf und ä mal bisch drab - danach die Nachrichten - der Autobahnabschnitt Raron - Gampel wird wiederum gesperrt, ca 3 Monate und kaum ist dann mal jemand wie zb die Fahrenden auf der Walliser Autobahn - werden sie wieder nach Hause geschickt und ja das erinnert mich an die Satire mit den obdachlosen in Berlin doch nun zurück zu Walter. Walter und ja es überrascht, denn wer tag täglich so mit Papier und Büchern hat doch Abends dann wohl kaum mehr Lust auf ein gutes Buch ? Er schon und er malt aber auch gerne. Sein Buch Tipp : Die 1% Methode  - tönt spannend das Buch - das Geheimnis des Erfolgs = die 1% Methode = minimale Veränderung, maximale Wirkung - das Buch liefert das nötige Handwerkszeug, mit dem sie das Ziel erreichen. Erhältlich im ZAP in Brig.    Mit Walter diskutierte ich über die Zukunft des Papier, dem gedruckten Buch - Zeitungen um Kampf gegen die Digitalisierung und ja zwischendurch restauriert der Walter auch eine Bibel oder ein altes Kochbuch und was gibt es schöneres als ein Buch in der Hand und ein Glas Fendärboerg dazu.  Weg vom Handy, weg vom Tablet obwohl eben Umweltschutz und eben - less Paper. Recycelt Paper und wieso das gerade im Buchdruck nicht unbedingt gewünscht wird von den Kunden? Ja Umweltschutz = da werden alte Papierfetzen in kleinen Böcklein verwendet oder mit einer alten Holzpalette baute eine Kundin einen Zaun, damit der Hund nicht abhaut. UPCYCLING, toll.   Lesen gefährdet ihre Dummheit und ja eben, der welcher mit kennt - der kennt mich und der welcher eben nicht? Klar sind wir nett zu allen Kunden und wir haben ja die BESTEN, obwohl der eine oder andere nervt ja immer?  Ja und eben betreffend sozialem Engagement da engagiert er sich zum Beispiel bei Berg Buch Brig als Partner und hilft mit Rat und Tag beim Event mit - dieser Event so ca : November und ja eben betreffend den Terminen - 15.05. 2025 und das Studio Supersaxo in Naters wird offiziell eingeweiht so um 17.00 Uhr ? Aber max bis 18.15 Uhr weil danach ja noch Alphorn-Probe und da steht das grosse Fest vor der Tür doch dazu später mehr ?   Aber Walter, wie sieht es denn nun mit meinem Buch aus? Das Buch sollte ja am 25.05.20205 erscheinen, am Tag an welchem das Krautfunding endet? Und ja am gleichen Tag das Dekanatsfest in Grächen wo so diverse Chöre gemeinsam singen? Terminkollisionen? ICH ?    So ein Buchbinder welcher man heute liebevoll Print + Medien Verarbeiter nennt muss einiges können, auch so bisschen Zahlenmensch weil es muss ja offeriert und budgetiert werden, Steuern und Mwst und stellt euch mal vor so ein Buchbinder leidet an einer Papier - Allergie?   Gerade erhalte ich eine Freundschaftsanfrage von Beatrice Egli. Als nächstes wird sie mich fragen ob ich mit Ihr im Duett am nächsten Eurovsiosion Contest mitsinge? Vielleicht ja wegen der übermässigen Anhäufung von ungebrauchter Wolle macht das Lied mit dem Schwarznasen-Schwaf-Woll-Rollchragu Bikini durchaus Sinn? No Waste Please ! Oder vielleicht findet wir im Archiv von Nella Martinetti noch ein ungebrauchtes Lied?   Sorry, bin gerade abgeschweift, wir sind ja noch immer in der Buchbinderei Schwery und gerade gestern habe ich noch ein leckeres Wasabi Pesto gemacht, mega fein - und die Jungen vom Kinderdorf Leuk schenkten mir nach der Musik Session diverse Leckereien und da ein Glas eingemachte Zuchetti und Ananas in Curry und diese so über mein Rosé-Risotto und dann eben auch noch ein Löffel vom Wasabi Pesto und dazu ein sprudelnd feines Glas LA ROSée bei Cave Fin  Bec ? Auch ja und da wären wir beim Thema Lieblings Walliser Gericht und Walter : Raglett. Eben die Aussprache diverser Walliser Wörter sind in Brig und im Saas nicht immer gleich? Er liebt das Raclette mit Pfeffer - ein scharfer Purist der Walter !   Ach und ja auch über Musik wurde so diskutiert und wie kamen wir auf Eliane Amherd, das Frauenstimm Festival in Brig? Wie kamen wir auf Steiner und Madleina ? Ach ja weil ich den Termin verwechselte und ja eben Berg Buch Brig im Herbst und das Frauenstimmen Festival im Frühling und ja kann vorkommen. Terminkollision - ICH?   Wie weiter ? Der Supermärit in Aarbeg mit Cave Fin Bec Sion, Musik Workshops im Studio Supersaxo für die Gewerbeschüler:innen MitMänsch, Tag der offenen Weinkellereien - Ende Mai   und ja eben, dann das BUCH 25.05.2025 , dann Urlaub und OFFLINE ?

 In this episode of the Vint Wine Podcast, hosts Billy Galanko and Brady Weller sit down with Nancy Irelan, the powerhouse behind Red Tail Ridge Winery in New York's Finger Lakes. From her early days as a PhD student at UC Davis to leading R&D at E. & J. Gallo, Nancy brings unmatched technical depth to her boutique, cool-climate winery.She shares:

A committed oenologist and ambassador of the great terroirs of the South of France, Gérard Bertrand embodies excellence and innovation in the world of wine. Heir to a lineage of wine growers, he harvested his first grapes at Château de Villemajou and forged a unique vision, combining respect for tradition with the quest for modernity. A former rugby player, he brings to his estates the values of performance and self-improvement that he learnt on the field. A pioneer of biodynamics, he has established himself as a leader in sustainable wine, enhancing exceptional terroirs through viticulture that respects nature and the cycles of life. He tells us: "From our sunny lands in the south of France, we cultivate excellence, sustainable commitment and passion for wine, to transmit the Art de Vivre in every bottle."

In this week's episode of The Wellness Scoop, we're diving into some of the biggest shifts and studies shaping the future of health and wellness. We look at a powerful new study showing how switching to a traditional diet for just two weeks can reduce inflammation and boost immunity — without supplements or complex protocols. It's part of a growing movement back to simpler, seasonal, plant-forward eating. We also explore the link between high blood pressure and dementia risk. A large-scale trial found that addressing cardiovascular health in midlife — through medication and lifestyle changes — could reduce dementia risk by 15%. We break down what that means in practical terms. WW (formerly WeightWatchers) is reportedly heading for bankruptcy, and it's raising big questions about the future of diet culture. With the rise of GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and Wegovy, we're seeing a shift toward science-backed, compassionate health strategies that move away from guilt, tracking, and restriction. Rhi brings back a fascinating study on daytime napping and brain health — showing that a short daily nap may help slow brain ageing and preserve brain volume. Plus, we look at the wellness trends forecast for 2025 — from high-protein breakfasts and mastic gum to brain flossing, okra water, and metabolic tracking tools. What's worth paying attention to, and what's just another layer of over-optimising? Recommendations: Batch-cooking quinoa!

In 2008  Jessica Munnell approached Tom Merkle about working together to create a wine that featured his grapes. A partnership was formed that became Wautoma Wines – made of the best Cabernet Sauvignon from Wautoma Springs. Eight years later Rachel Mercer joined the duo and the three set their sights on increasing production and opening a Tasting Room. In December 2019, Wautoma Springs Tasting Room in Prosser, WA, opened. A small tasting space that showcases tapas, tinned seafood, local produce and Wautoma Springs wines.The epitome of a boutique winery, producing extremely small-lot, hand-crafted wines from people who know the business inside and out. This isn't a venture capitalist's or a lawyer's winery - not that there's anything wrong with that. We know the soil. We know the vines. And we know how to make good wine. Our story is in every bottle.

In 2008 we set out to start a winery with a specific vision: to embody the soul of wine from vineyard to bottle to table. Our philosophy is that wine should be accessible, approachable, and affordable. But most of all, we believe a wine's purpose is to bring together family and friends!With 10 years of viticulture and winemaking experience in Washington State, we know a thing or two about making wine. For starters, Purple Star's varietal blends are grown from some of Washington State's finest appellations including Wahluke Slope, Yakima Valley and Red Mountain. With grapes handpicked at their optimal flavor profile and juice fermented at cooler temperatures for longer periods, our wines exhibit softer tannins and retain more varietal character.

For Episode 68, we pop the cork on a sparkling conversation with Wendy Outhwaite, co-founder of Ambriel, an English sparkling wine producer with a serious commitment to quality—and a playful side to match. Nestled in the rolling hills of West Sussex, Ambriel crafts wines with a “palate, not wallet” approach, letting patience and precision take the lead (some bottles rest on lees for over six years before they make their grand debut). Wendy takes us behind the scenes of Ambriel's journey—from a five-year quest to find the perfect vineyard to embracing greensand terroir that's as rare as it is remarkable. We chat about hand-picking, blind blending, and why the Outhwaites refuse to let their wines leave the estate until they're truly ready. And of course, we dive into Ambriel's spirited branding—think corks stamped with ‘Huzzah!' and a name that gives a nod to angels, ambrosia, and a certain quip from Pope Gregory. With Wendy's razor-sharp wit and infectious passion, this episode is a proper toast to English fizz. So grab a glass, settle in, and let's raise a hearty Huzzah! to the future of British bubbles.   For more information about our Podcast, visit us on the web: https://readbetweenthewinespodcast.com   Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/betweenthewinesmedia   Connect with us on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/read-between-the-wines

On this episode, we have Sara Delaney who is the Founder and CEO at Sarilla. Sarilla is supporting regenerative agriculture with its lineup of ready-to-drink spritzers that are all made with organic and regenerative ingredients. Sarilla sources the majority of its ingredients via direct trade relationships with farmer cooperatives in Rwanda that are USDA Organic and Fair Trade Certified and pursuing regenerative certification. In this episode, Sara shares how she was inspired to launch the brand to further her work supporting the people of Rwanda in their ongoing recovery from the Rwandan Genocide in 1994, and she shares how Sarilla has grown over time to find the right name, SKUs, and product positioning. Sara's personal story is one of resiliency, empathy, and community and is definitely very alive in the Sarilla brand. She subscribes to the Rwandan wisdom that “to be alone is to die” - which underpins Sarilla's social impact mission and should serve as good advice for all of looking to increase collaborative efforts in regeneration.

Sparkling water without plastic bottles is not only good for your health (plastic bottles can cause health problems). In this episode of the "How to Protect the Ocean" podcast, host Andrew Lewin interviews Marcus O'Donovan, the founder of CO2U, a company that provides carbon dioxide cylinders for home sparkling water machines. The discussion centers around the intersection of entrepreneurship and sustainability, highlighting how CO2U addresses environmental concerns while offering a convenient product. Key Points on Sustainability: Convenience Over Single-Use Plastics: CO2U allows consumers to create sparkling water at home using tap water, significantly reducing the reliance on single-use plastic bottles. This shift not only minimizes plastic waste but also eliminates the carbon footprint associated with transporting bottled water. Sustainable Business Model: The business model focuses on delivering CO2 cylinders directly to customers' homes and collecting empty ones, promoting a circular economy. This approach contrasts with traditional methods where consumers must return cylinders to collection points, making it more user-friendly and sustainable. Innovative Solutions: Marcus discusses the introduction of a new aluminum refillable cylinder to replace disposable steel cylinders used in many sparkling water taps. This innovation aims to further reduce waste and enhance sustainability in the industry. Authenticity in Sustainability: The episode emphasizes the importance of genuine sustainability efforts over greenwashing. Marcus expresses a desire to focus on authentic practices that truly benefit the environment, rather than just marketing claims. Growth and Impact: Since its inception, CO2U has experienced significant growth, with a 500% increase in the second year. The company is expanding its reach across Europe, demonstrating that sustainable business practices can also be profitable. Overall, the episode illustrates how CO2U not only meets consumer demand for sparkling water but also contributes positively to environmental sustainability by reducing plastic waste and promoting the use of tap water.

I wasn't sure I was going to do a Thanksgiving episode this year, but last minute, I felt inspired (and was encouraged by some of you -- thanks especially to my dear friends and your fellow patrons Claudette C and Tina K) so I decided to make it happen.   This one is short, sweet, and to the point! I offer seven main wine types and give examples of each. I hope at least one of these ideas will work for your table! __________________________________ This year, I'm sticking with the theme I did for the Wine Access Club and recommending blends for your meal. The list: Photo: Getty Images via Canva 1. Sparkling -- whether you pick Champagne, Crémant, Cava, Cap Classique, Franciacorta, American sparkling wine, or anything else, you will likely have a mix of grapes. A great blend for the whole meal.     2. Acidic white blends are fantastic pairings. White Bordeaux blends are my top choice.     3. Full, white Rhône blends, especially with a big Viognier component are always on my Thanksgiving table. Blends like Côtes du Rhône blanc, Châteauneuf du Pape blanc, Laudun, Lirac, and Rhône blends from California and Australia work well.     4. Fruity red blends have softer tannins but good acidity. Côtes du Rhône, Châteauneuf du Pape, and Valpolicella are some examples     5. Flavorful red blends with a fuller body are a fantastic alternative to varietal Cabernet or Zinfandel, which are often recommended. Rioja, Bordeaux (with more Merlot than Cabernet), and Cerasuolo di Vittoria are my suggested blends.   6. Rosés like Tavel, Bandol rosé, Côtes du Rhône rosé, and heavier styles of Rioja rosado.     7. Finally, SAUTERNES is great with grilled food or anything with a char. It can also handle the sweet foods on your table, including dessert.     I hope you this was helpful and gave you a new idea or two! Happy Thanksgiving -- I'm grateful to you for listening!   Full show notes and all back episodes are on Patreon. Become a member today! www.patreon.com/winefornormalpeople _______________________________________________________________   Check out my exclusive sponsor, Wine Access.  They have an amazing selection -- once you get hooked on their wines, they will be your go-to!

With the holidays coming, I thought it would be a good time to do a show on a different kind of sparkling wine, so this time I cover Italy's premier traditional method sparkling wine, Franciacorta. Map: Consorzio per la tutela del Franciacorta   Franciacorta is a high quality Italian sparkling wine made in the area of Brescia in Lombardy (the Italian region where Milan is located).  Franciacorta, as a sparkling wine, came into being in the 1960s but it didn't take long for it to gain a favorable reputation, which still holds today. With very distinctive geographical features and a unique microclimate, the wines here are marked by a balance of excellent acidity and lovely aromas of fruit, flowers, nuts and more.   The thing that makes Franciacorta stand out among other sparklers from Italy is that wines from this region can only be produced using the traditional method (like Champagne, unlike Prosecco) and must be made primarily from the French grapes – Chardonnay, Pinot nero (Pinot noir), and Pinot bianco (Pinot blanc). Photo: Consorzio per la tutela del Franciacorta   Despite the similarities with their French counterpart, the terroir in Franciacorta presents weather patterns that include a lake effect, Alpine breezes, and ample wind. The entire area was formed by glacial movement – no by a small sea receding and leaving a bed of chalky limestone as was the case in Champagne.       Priced at a premium, these wines are ideal if you love Champagne or sparkling wine but want something fruitier, fuller, and with less piercing acidity.
