Welcome back, wine friends! This episode is all about the rebels — the wild ones — the winemakers who've ripped up the rulebook and gone their own way. We're diving deep into the world of declassified cult wines: the bottles that said "no thanks" to tradition-bound wine laws, and yet, somehow became some of the most expensive, most desired, and most obsessively followed wines on the planet. But before we get to the juicy stuff, let's set the scene. You know those cryptic acronyms on European wine labels — AOC, DOCG, and even Qualitätswein? They're steeped in history, tradition, and legal frameworks that protect the where, the what, and the how of a wine. They're there to ensure quality, consistency, and authenticity.  And yet, to some, those same laws can feel more like shackles than structure. Want to plant Syrah in Bordeaux? Or fancy making an orange wine in Chianti? You can't under AOC or DOCG rules. Even if your wine is mind-blowingly good, if it doesn't fit the mould, it gets dumped in the “Vin de France” or “Vino da Tavola” pile. So in this episode, we raise a glass to the misfits, the rule-breakers, and the game-changers — winemakers who said, “Forget the label, let the wine speak for itself.” We'll travel from the storied vineyards of Bordeaux to the wild Loire, up through Tuscany, and back again — featuring the most expensive wine in the world, a Brunello scandal, and some unicorn bottles you've probably seen worshipped on Instagram. Throughout this episode, whilst telling the tales of some of the most iconic and rebellious wines, you'll also learn more about: vine density plantings in Bordeaux, the impact of phylloxera, the historic grape varieties of Bordeaux, what Bordeaux might have tasted like before the 1855 classification, the scandal of Brunellogate, the difference between Sangiovese in Montalcino vs Chianti, Chianti's rigid and outdated regulations, and a few legends of the natural wine movement. Get ready for trailblazing tales, creative freedom in a bottle, and a reminder that some of the best wines in the world never needed permission to be great.   Episode Chapters: 3.30: Introducing Liber Pater – the most expensive wine in the world 10.00: Introducing Louis-Benjamin - Didier Dagueneau Pouilly-Fume Asteroide – the holy grail of Sauvignon Blanc 15.30: Introducing Case Basse di Gianfranco Soldera Toscana Sangiovese – The wine making the most dramatic exit from Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 23.00: Introducing Le Pergole Torte from Montevertine – a 100% Sangiovese from the Chianti Classico region 26.10: Introducing the wines from Domaine des Miroirs in the Jura region – a Japanese winemaker producing ‘unicorn wines'. 32.30: Introducing a declassified super affordable wine for contrast: Gran Cerdo from Gonzalo Grijalba    

Giovanni Mariti (1736–1806) was an Italian traveler best known for his detailed accounts of the Eastern Mediterranean, particularly Cyprus, during the 18th century. Born in Florence, Mariti served as an official in the service of the Grand Duchy of Tuscany, and his travels provided him with firsthand insights into the social, political, and economic life of the regions he visited. He stayed in Cyprus for seven years and served as an official in the Tuscan consulate in Larnaca. His most notable work, Travels in the Island of Cyprus, written in the late 18th century, is a rich source of information on the customs, governance, and history of Cyprus under Ottoman rule -- particularly in the earliest excavations on the island. In this excerpt, we hear from Mariti as he discusses some interesting finds in and around Larnaca. This excerpt is a perfect springboard into my next month's guest, Luca Bombardieri (Director of the Erimi Archaeological Project) as we discuss early archaeology in his latest publication, "From Exploration to Exploitation: Giovanni Mariti, Domenico Sestini, Antonio Mondaini and the Early History of Cypriot Archaeology."

Why is the sky blue? Why do only birds get to fly? Is there a God? And if so, why does God let bad things happen? Why do people die? It's natural for children to ask questions, big and small. But too often, adults brush off such questions as an annoyance, or scold kids for being rude, or even respond to their asking with punishment. When that happens, many children stop asking and grow up to become adults who believe it's safer to stay quiet and squelch their inherent, and essential, sense of wonder.A deeply personal memoir and richly insightful, empowering guide, THE WILD WHY interweaves stories, awakenings, and lessons with teachings, exercises of exploration, and calls to action for the reader to find their own wild why. At the heart of it all is wonder. What is wonder anyway? As Laura Munson explains, wonder is what even cynics feel and think when they see a rainbow: curiosity mixed with awe. And because the experience is universal, wonder drives empathy.Following Laura Munson's evolution as a writer and a wonderer through life's unexpected turns, including success and divorce, THE WILD WHY also welcomes readers to come along on her travels to wonderful places all over the world. From the woods of Montana, to a hammam in Morocco, to hill towns in Mexico and Tuscany, to an ancient stone circle in Ireland…we revel in what she receives: the ability to surrender, the power of kindness, and a greater appreciation for life's mysteries, the universe, others, and, yes, herself.  THE WILD WHY affirms a universal truth - as Laura Munson attests: “We're all creative! Every act of living is creative. Every step we take, every choice we make, every word that comes out of our mouth—it's all an act of creation!” What could be more wonderful than that?            Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

This episode features our live audience conversation with members of FORTH Club in Atlanta, GA and Nicola Lenci, the co-owner of Fattoria di Magliano, a winery located in the Maremma region of Tuscany. Nicola has been working at the estate since 2010, first in the vineyards and later in the cellar. He became an AIS Sommelier and started traveling, mainly North America, Germany and the UK, as the National Sales Manager of Fattoria di Magliano. Additionally, he currently is the Export Manager of the company and also the assistant winemaker. Nicola brought a flight of 4 of his family's wines to share with us while talking about his family's history, their experience starting a winery business, and their dedication to hospitality in the wine industry. We dive deep into what makes the region so unique, and you'll hear some interesting insights about Italian wine classifications and the estate's specific growing conditions. In 1996, Nicola's father, Agostino Lenci - a fashion professional - turned his passion for wine into a business by investing in a 97-hectare property. At the time, Maremma was not recognized for producing high quality wines, but Lenci endeavored to bring notoriety to this little-known wine-producing region situated a mere 10 miles from the Tyrrhenian coast in southeastern Tuscany. His vision was realized a few years later when Maremma Toscana was granted DOC status by the Italian government. Now at the estate, there is a restaurant serving local cuisine as well as a boutique inn with 30 guest rooms and a swimming pool overlooking the rolling hills. Our audience brought such a great energy of curiosity to this episode, and there was a line that formed behind the mic when we opened it up for the live Q&A at the end of the episode.

When we think of bravery and self-sacrifice, we usually think of heroic acts during war. We focus on famous battles and epic outcomes. As we consider what it means to sacrifice for others, it's fitting that we spotlight a woman who gave up much to save many.John 15:13 says, “Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends.”Florence Nightingale was born into a rich family and lived in Tuscany. Not exactly a training ground for self-sacrifice!Florence, though, made a decision to dedicate her life to helping others. By making this choice, she gave up her own personal dreams.During the Crimean War, she made the rounds at night to check on wounded soldiers. Later, she used her writing skills to build support for better nursing techniques and hospital facilities. Today, she is known for her innovative ideas that saved countless lives.In this way, the girl born into wealth and a life of ease became a symbol of self-sacrifice. While traveling in Egypt once, she wrote to her sister that she felt “Called to God.” It was the perfect description of a woman who thought of others first, and last.Let's pray. Lord, please give us a heart for people like Florence Nightingale! Help us love others more than we love ourselves. In Jesus' name, amen. Change your shirt, and you can change the world!

Full Text of ReadingsMonday of the Fifth Week of Easter Lectionary: 285The Saint of the day is Saint Theophilus of CorteSaint Theophilus of Corte's Story If we expect saints to do marvelous things continually and to leave us many memorable quotes, we are bound to be disappointed with Saint Theophilus. The mystery of God's grace in a person's life, however, has a beauty all its own. Theophilus was born in Corsica of rich and noble parents. As a young man, he entered the Franciscans and soon showed his love for solitude and prayer. After admirably completing his studies, he was ordained and assigned to a retreat house near Subiaco. Inspired by the austere life of the Franciscans there, he founded other such houses in Corsica and Tuscany. Over the years, he became famous for his preaching as well as his missionary efforts. Though he was always somewhat sickly, Theophilus generously served the needs of God's people in the confessional, in the sickroom, and at the graveside. Worn out by his labors, he died on June 17, 1740. He was canonized in 1930. Reflection There is a certain dynamism in all the saints that prompts them to find ever more selfless ways of responding to God's grace. As time went on, Theophilus gave more and more single-hearted service to God and to God's sons and daughters. Honoring the saints will make no sense unless we are thus drawn to live as generously as they did. Their holiness can never substitute for our own. Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

In this 38 minute episode, I sit down with Courtney Pearl, a multifaceted healer, and artist dedicated to guiding individuals through emotional processing and energy healing. Courtney shares her transformative journey from a structured upbringing in the LDS community to embracing a path of creativity and healing after facing personal challenges, including infertility and her husband's struggles with addiction.We explore the profound role of art in healing, discussing how color and creativity can serve as powerful tools for introspection and emotional regulation. Courtney introduces the Integrative Processing Technique (IPT), which combines energy healing with emotional exploration, allowing individuals to visualize and express their feelings through art.Additionally, we delve into the importance of understanding the mind-body connection, the impact of trauma stored in the body, and how energy modalities like Reiki and chakra balancing contribute to our overall well-being. Courtney emphasizes the significance of reconnecting with nature and respecting the land, drawing parallels between ancient practices and contemporary life.This episode is a rich tapestry of insights, offering practical guidance for anyone seeking to harness their creativity for healing and self-discovery.To connect with Courtney: https://www.prism-healing.com ♾ In a fast-paced world like the one we live in, time is one of our most important assets.

Johan Bruyneel and Spencer Martin discuss today's stage of the Giro d'Italia, which Jayco-AlUla's Luke Plapp won with a long-range breakaway and saw Primož Roglič intentionally cede the race lead to XDS-Astana's Diego Ulissi. They discuss Plapp's impressive win, what this means for his career in the future, and what to make of UAE and Ayuso's aggressive riding during the stage, before previewing Sunday's critical Stage 9, which takes the peloton over the white gravel roads of Tuscany to finish in the Piazza del Campo. They predict who will win, how the action will play out, and which riders present the best betting value.

Full Text of ReadingsFriday of the Fourth Week of Easter Lectionary: 283The Saint of the day is Saint Margaret of CortonaSaint Margaret of Cortona's Story Margaret was born of farming parents in Laviano, Tuscany. Her mother died when Margaret was seven; life with her stepmother was so difficult that Margaret moved out. For nine years she lived with Arsenio, though they were not married, and she bore him a son. In those years, she had doubts about her situation. Somewhat like Saint Augustine, she prayed for purity—but not just yet. One day she was waiting for Arsenio and was instead met by his dog. The animal led Margaret into the forest where she found Arsenio murdered. This crime shocked Margaret into a life of penance. She and her son returned to Laviano, where she was not well received by her stepmother. They then went to Cortona, where her son eventually became a friar. In 1277, three years after her conversion, Margaret became a Franciscan tertiary. Under the direction of her confessor, who sometimes had to order her to moderate her self-denial, she pursued a life of prayer and penance at Cortona. There she established a hospital and founded a congregation of tertiary sisters. The poor and humble Margaret was, like Francis, devoted to the Eucharist and to the passion of Jesus. These devotions fueled her great charity and drew sinners to her for advice and inspiration. She was canonized in 1728. St. Margaret of Cortona’s liturgical feast is celebrated on February 22. Reflection Seeking forgiveness is sometimes difficult work. It is made easier by meeting people who, without trivializing our sins, assure us that God rejoices over our repentance. Being forgiven lifts a weight and prompts us to acts of charity. Click here for more on Saint Margaret of Cortona! Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media
