Great introduction Nick! If you make your way up to Yountville give Hope & Grace a visit. They are a small wine maker making great wines, my favorite are their California Malbecs. https://www.hopeandgracewines.com/

Regarding those neo prohibitionists you might enjoy what this physician and epidemiologist has written about alcohol.

Thanks for sharing, Josh!

Interesting read from Dr. Prasad (I appreciate the tongue-in-cheek humor as well!)...I've done quite a bit of research on my own about both the Lancet paper and the surgeon general's advisory. The evidence isn't convincing enough for me to be making any major adjustments to my personal consumption just yet. I'll likely do a post about my POV at some point in the future...I'm sure it won't be well received by the Neo-prohibitionists. 😉
