Making a Meal of It — episode 107: Booze
This episode takes a few different perspectives on alcohol—including making, serving, drinking, and not drinking it—as well as the benefits, effects, and privileges associated with consuming wine and cocktails. We start with liquids entrepreneur Jean-Sébastian Michel and his many points of view, and then hear from Alessandra Castelli, a food/wine/yoga/wellness educator. The ‘Stick This in Your Mouth’ features two rice-washed cocktails, and biophysicist Ruth Wilkins responds to the Food Questionnaire.
