Did y’all know you are like a bottle of fine (or not so fine) wine? In this 50th mini solo episode inspired by my two decades in the wine industry, I share an article I wrote for holistic health site, Selene River Press, “Your Terroir: Viewing Metabolic Health Through the Lens of Fine Wine.
Fine wine requires cultivation: all inputs are carefully selected, tended, bottled and aged; a true labor of love. It takes years – decades really, to grow fine wine. Doing so requires a continual process of discovery, refinement, risk reward analysis, plenty of prayers to a higher power, and a long term investment strategy. I illustrate the concept of terroir from Châteauneuf du Pape, where my family and I share a home in this village and wine sub appellation.
It is this sommelier’s assertion that we humans also possess terroir, our unique composition of genetics, environment, lifestyle, and experiences. We cannot change certain inputs such as genetics or family of origin influences, but we can profoundly influence the expression of our terroir given the lifestyle choices we make. Take a listen and let me know what you think!
Last call for holiday gifting with The Nourishment Mindset — a great way to improve your terroir and help your friends and loved ones do the same. I’ll take the hassle out of the gifting part of the holidays by signing and complimentary shipping festively wrapped copies. Simply place your order on my site, send your recipient names and addresses to me (FavorFat@gmail.com), and put your feet up — maybe with a glass of wine!
Santé and happy holidays, y’all!
