Nebbiolo is one of the oldest and finest red grapes of Italy. Native to Piemonte (Piedmont) in the northwest of the country, it was first mentioned and described by (my boyfriend) Pliny the Elder in the first century AD. After a time of being known exclusively on its home turf, starting in the 1700s, Nebbiolo began to gain status as a wine of Piemontese royalty. When a dry version was made in the mid-1800s, the wine's place as a great of the wine world was cemented. Nebbiolo sparkles in the epic wines of Barolo and Barbaresco, along with other neighboring areas. But it's not a good traveler. Others have tried to grow it and make wine from it, but the magic of Nebbiolo is often elusive. So it remains small. With less than 15,000 acres/ 6,070 ha of Nebbiolo planted globally, this is a rare grape and we are lucky to have access to it! Photo: Nebbiolo grape in the Langhe. Source: https://www.langhevini.it/en/i-vitigni-del-territorio/nebbiolo/   In this show, as in all grape miniseries, I talk about the history of the grape, how it behaves in the vineyard and winery, there terroir that best suits it, and the places it is grown. I also talk about climate change and what that will mean for Nebbiolo in the future (I'm hopeful. There are lots of options in Barolo and Barbaresco, so don't get all gloom and doom!).   If you've never had a Nebbiolo from Piedmont, please do yourself a favor and get one. It's unlike anything else in this world – pure magic in a glass when it's from a good producer.   Full show notes and all back episodes are on Patreon. Join the community today! www.patreon.com/winefornormalpeople _______________________________________________________________ CHECK OUT MY NEW SPONSOR!!!  This show is brought to you by my NEW exclusive sponsor, Grapes the Wine Company – an actual brick and mortar store located in White Plains, New York that has been recognized by the Wall Street Journal as one of the most influential wine retailers in America.

André Tchelistcheff is a wine legend, especially in American wine. A winemaker, viticulturist and teacher, Tchelistcheff raised the standards for California wine, making it possible for it to become a force in the modern wine world. André Tchelistcheff. Photo: UC Davis Library A lifetime learner, Tchelistcheff said his highest and best title would be "permanent student of the university of California" because he never thought he knew everything about wine and always wanted to discover new ways of doing things. Tchelistcheff's philosophy on wine aligns with that of most of the listeners in this community... "Wine is an intellectual beverage. It does not have the toxicity of liquor. Taken in moderation, it opens the mind. I have seen an introvert, after two glasses of wine, open like a flower." Source: https://byrdvineyard.com/andre-the-voice-of-wine/   In the show, I go over André Tchelistcheff's life and all the contributions he made to first Napa, then wider California, and then to Washington State wine and beyond.

Episode 4175 │ July 7, 2026 The signing was the cry. July 7th was the flight. The Declaration left the room and entered the people — in taverns, pulpits, and town squares. WHAT THIS EPISODE COVERS  Scott Kesterson opens on July 7th, 1776 — the first Sunday in 1776 after the signing — the day the Dunlap Broadsides reached ordinary Americans for the first time, read aloud in taverns by militiamen to men who couldn't read, preached from hundreds of Black Robe Regiment pulpits simultaneously, and received not as political theory but as permission: a word from the Creator that named what they had already felt and called it freedom. The episode traces three simultaneous threads running on that Sunday: the New York Provincial Congress meeting in exile at White Plains — a government that had abstained from the July 4th vote now holding the credibility of the unanimous Declaration in their hands, five days before they said yes and made it actually unanimous — Reverend Duffield at Third Presbyterian Philadelphia preaching from Micah that America was not declaring political independence but entering a covenantal relationship with God as a free and self-governing people, and Franklin already calculating the diplomatic leverage the Declaration gave him in the courts of Europe while Washington in New York stood in the full military consequence of a political bridge the Congress had just burned permanently. The episode closes on Romans 10:17 — faith comes from hearing — as the theological architecture of what happened on July 7th: the founders had written it, the pulpits had preached it, and the people had received it, and a revolution became a movement the moment the covenant became communal. KEY QUESTIONS ADDRESSED Why did the Declaration call itself unanimous when New York had abstained — and what was at stake for the entire founding argument if the New York Provincial Congress, meeting in exile at White Plains with the British fleet visible on the horizon, had said no or delayed? What did Reverend Duffield preach on July 7th, 1776 — and why does his argument from Micah, that America was entering a covenant relationship with God rather than merely declaring political independence, explain what the British never understood about why eight years of war did not break the colonial will? What is the difference between the cry and the flight — and why does the Chinese proverb that opens the episode, not the cry but the flight of the wild duck leads the flock to follow, identify July 7th rather than July 4th as the moment the revolution became irreversible?  ABOUT BARDSFM BardsFM is a daily independent podcast covering faith, liberty, history, and information warfare.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, we are joined by two women who gave the best years of their careers to Pan American World Airways, and who have remained close friends for more than four decades since the airline closed its doors.Florette H. Vassall was born in New York City, the daughter of immigrants from Cuba and Panama. Aviation was a constant in her life from the very beginning. Her father was passionate about flight, and as a young girl, Florette watched Pan Am's famous flying boats cross the sky above New York City, an impression that would last a lifetime. Then the war came. Her father was drafted into the Army and assigned as an air traffic controller because of his background in radio, while her mother served as an officially designated air raid warden. Those years brought challenges that went well beyond the war itself.In 1967, Florette was looking for a job that came with travel benefits so she could visit friends she had made while living in Acapulco, Mexico. Pan American World Airways hired her. Perhaps it was not entirely a coincidence. What started as a practical decision became a 24-year career. Florette worked as a ticket agent, trainer, and supervisor at the Pan Am Building in the heart of midtown Manhattan, right up until the airline shut down in Miami in December 1991. For more than two decades, she was a fixture at Counter Vanderbilt, the largest ticket counter in the world at the time. Customers, employees, company visitors, special guests, and board members all knew her by name.The 59-story Pan Am Building, constructed between 1960 and 1963 above Grand Central Station, was the largest commercial office space in the world by square footage when it opened on March 7, 1963. Pan Am founder Juan Trippe had signed a 25-year lease for 613,000 square feet, and the airline occupied 15 floors. Listeners who heard Episode 10 will recall the late Richard Roth Jr., whose family firm Emery Roth & Sons worked alongside Walter Gropius and Pietro Belluschi to bring the building to life. Richard passed away in late 2022 at the age of 89, just one year after sharing his remarkable firsthand account with this program.Florette is a retired teacher, a former model, and an actress. For more than 40 years she has produced multicultural arts and culture programming for television in New York City. She holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from Fordham University and is the author of the chapter titled "The Pan Am Building" in the book Pan Am: Personal Tributes to a Global Aviation Pioneer, compiled by Jeff Kriendler and James Patrick Baldwin. At 91 years young, she has never stopped.Diane Krumholtz Lyras began her Pan Am career on January 24, 1977, hired as a Clerk Stenographer in Labor Relations. She went on to work in Reservations as a Sales Agent, then as a Sales Account Manager serving the White Plains and Long Island markets, before returning to the Pan Am Building as Manager of Administration for the Northeast Division, and ultimately as Manager of Administration for the United States Division. Like Florette, she was there until the end, leaving in August 1991.Listeners who heard Episode 27 will remember Diane from one of the most difficult chapters in Pan Am's history. On September 5, 1986, Pan Am Flight 73 was hijacked on the ground in Karachi, Pakistan, in an act of senseless violence that left 20 people dead and more than 100 injured. Diane Krumholtz Lyras, then of the White Plains Pan Am sales office, was sent to Karachi as part of the company's crisis response team to assist staff and families in the aftermath. Diane also serves on the board of the Pan Am Museum Foundation.Florette and Diane met inside the Pan Am Building in 1980 and became fast friends. They are still friends today.Support the showVisit Us for more Pan Am History! Support the Podcast!Donate to the Museum!Visit The Hangar online store for Pan Am gear!Become a Member! Follow us on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter!A very special thanks to Mr. Adam Aron, Chairman and CEO of AMC and president of the Pan Am Historical Foundation and  Pan Am Brands for their continued and unwavering support!

Westchester Magazine's 2026 Healthcare Heroes Luncheon united an inspiring community to celebrate the extraordinary individuals whose dedication has profoundly shaped regional healthcare. Held on Thursday, May 14th, at Mulino's at Lake Isle Country Club in Eastchester, NY, the event provided guests with a meaningful afternoon dedicated to honoring and connecting with this year's honorees. Recognized for their exceptional compassion and excellence, the remarkable stories of these distinguished professionals will be featured in the upcoming May issue of Westchester Magazine.Dr. Rafael Ortiz, the Executive Director of Neuroscience at White Plains Hospital, spoke with Bob Marrone about his dual clinical and administrative roles. As a neuroendovascular surgeon, Dr. Ortiz specializes in minimally invasive catheter procedures to treat brain aneurysms and strokes. Over the past three years, he has successfully built a comprehensive neuroscience team at the hospital, gathering experts from across the country to treat conditions like epilepsy, brain tumors, and Parkinson's disease. Dr. Ortiz revealed that his career path was personally inspired by his grandmother's experience with a neurodegenerative condition. He noted that his work is immensely rewarding because it directly impacts not just individual patients, but entire families and communities.

Two pairs of everything — body parts — turn up in three southern counties before anyone thinks to ask the quiet woman on the hog farm what was buried out behind the barn.EPISODE PAGE (includes list of sources): https://weirddarkness.com/noir-twopairsofeverythingTHE REAL CASE BEHIND THIS STORY: THE VIOLA HYATT CASE (1959, ALABAMA)Viola Hyatt was a 30-year-old farm woman living with her father Martin on a hog farm near White Plains, Alabama. Raised by a cruel, sickly mother who told her daily she was a curse, Viola grew up isolated, heavy-set, and physically strong from butchering the family's hogs herself — a job she took over from her father as a teenager. When her father rented a small trailer on the property to two construction workers — brothers Emmett and Lee Harper, both WWII veterans (one a Bataan Death March survivor) — the arrangement turned ugly. The brothers sexually abused Viola, beat her father when he objected, and treated the family with contempt. Viola endured it for months. On the morning of June 27, she loaded her father's 12-gauge shotgun, walked to the trailer, and shot both men in the face. She then used the double-bit axe from the barn to dismember the bodies, loaded the parts into the brothers' own 1957 Ford, and drove all night through three Alabama counties — Calhoun, Etowah, and Cleburne — scattering arms, legs, and torsos along roadsides, in briar patches, and in the Tallapoosa River. The bodies were so disfigured that police couldn't identify them for 17 days. They called the victims "Mr. X" and "Mr. Y." The case broke when the construction foreman recognized police sketches and connected them to a phone call Viola had made claiming the brothers were tending to a sick mother. Police found blood in the trunk of the car, the buried axe, and damage to the trailer door — and after a six-hour interrogation, Viola confessed. She was evaluated at Brice Mental Hospital, found sane, and pled guilty in March of the following year to avoid the electric chair. She received a life sentence. She never explained her motive beyond saying the abuse "wasn't the main reason" — it was "worse than that." She refused interviews for the rest of her life. Paroled in 1970, she lived quietly in a trailer park until her death in 1992, taking whatever the full story was to the grave.WeirdDarkness® is a registered trademark.

The federal murder trial of Nicholas Tartaglione unfolded over several weeks in White Plains, New York, with prosecutors presenting him as a violent ex-cop who used his law enforcement background to run a cocaine trafficking operation through intimidation and murder. The government argued that Tartaglione believed one of the victims, Martin Luna, had stolen drug money from him, leading to a deadly ambush in 2016. Jurors were shown surveillance footage, cellphone location data, forensic evidence, and testimony from cooperating witnesses who described how Luna and three other men were lured to a bar before being brutally killed. Prosecutors said Tartaglione personally participated in the beatings and murders before burying the bodies on his property in Orange County. The defense tried to attack the credibility of government witnesses and argued that Tartaglione was being unfairly blamed by cooperating criminals seeking lighter sentences, but the prosecution steadily built a timeline that jurors ultimately accepted.The trial became even more high-profile because of Tartaglione's later connection to Jeffrey Epstein at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan, where the two briefly shared a jail unit before Epstein's death. That association kept Tartaglione's name circulating in national media coverage long after the murders themselves. After deliberations, the jury convicted Tartaglione on every major count, including murder, kidnapping, narcotics conspiracy, and murder-for-hire related charges. Federal prosecutors described the killings as calculated executions driven by greed and paranoia, while the judge condemned the sheer brutality of the crimes during sentencing. In 2024, Tartaglione received four consecutive life sentences plus additional prison time, ensuring he will spend the rest of his life in federal custody without any realistic possibility of release.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
