paiRED

{Postings About Imbibing Reds with Everday Dinners} Wine was meant to be enjoyed with food. Yet when wine is evaluated at big palate-busting tastings, food is rarely part of the equation. The big wines that impress critics at tastings often come home to obliterate dinner. Hence, paiRED. Putting our livers on the line, we'll pair specific wines with selected recipes and make evaluations based on the match.

{Quiet Moment with Kitten and The Omnivore's Dilemma}



Here Chanson reads to Saucisson Sauvage from Michael Pollan's impressive new book "The Omnivore's Dilemna." Chanson explains to a sympathetic audience the ill effects of the rise of monoculture. "Tell me about it, bro" says Saucisson Sauvage. "A boring one-hit wonder of a diet -- I can relate."

Hey Chanson thanks for the post... during the day I work for a local Organic and Natural grocery store in Seattle and during the night as a podcast professional producing passionate podcasts for Organic and Natural lifestyles.

If interested Organically Speaking has released a conversation with Michael Pollan podcast (audio conversation). Interesting tidbits on farmers markets, CSAs, and more!

Some Podcast Show Note Questions:

Q) Why the price difference between conventional food and organic and how do we go about bringing down organic food prices?

Q) How can small local organic farmers remain local in a capitalistic system?

Q) What is the "Food Web" you briefly touch on in your book, The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals.
