Description

How does foodiness relate to wine? Friend of the show and sponsor of the network, Christopher Howell of Cain Vineyard and Winery in Napa Valley joins Erica Wides for this weeks episode of Lets Get Real. Learn what goes into making real wine - from fermentation to organic or biodynamic grapes and everything in between. Chris and Erica discuss scale of production, ingredient labeling, regulation, and authenticity as they relate to wine - and dispel many common myths. Get real about whats in your glass on this weeks episode of Lets Get Real! This program has been sponsored by HeritageRadioNetwork.org. The real funny thing about wine is that even if you are the size of coca cola everybody wants to trade on the idea of Mom and Pops in the vineyards crushing grapes. [12:00] Some of the smallest scale wines are the highest controlled. Its all about needing to be known. [20:00] The idea that there should be no control and no thought would imply that theres no cooking in the kitchen!. [24:00] Natural wine is wines contribution to the raw food world. [25:00] In order for wine to be real - the key is going to be providence. [27:00] If you think the wine is trying to be cool - perhaps its the least likely to be something that hasnt been manipulated. [30:00] -- Christopher Howell on Lets Get Real

On Let’s Get Real Chef Erica Wides walks you down the aisles of the surreal world of food, serving up a heaping dose of reality by separating the food from the foodiness so you can forage, hunt, gather, trap and fish for real food anywhere, even in a foodiness-filled mega market. Incisive, pragmatic, sarcastic, and an unrepentant know-it-all when it comes to anything food, on Let’s Get Real Chef Erica Wides does the job for you of sifting out everything that’s fake in the world of food – from “foodiness” marketing and cooking show shams to “health-halo green-washing” and annoying whole-food righteousness – so you never unknowingly chow down on carpeting again.
