How was your first week of 2025? Have you set your intentions and goals yet?
I open up a Cabernet Sauvignon from Washington State from one of my favorite natural wine brands Avaline. I have spoken about them before but they basically get together with wine growers around the world who align with their brand mission of having wines made of 100% organic grapes, no residual sugar present and no unwanted additives. This specific Cabernet comes from a producer in Washington State called Tagaris winery. I get into their family history and their farming practices in this episode.
With the new year here, I really wanted to talk about integrity and the importance of setting our goals for the year. When you approach everything you do with genuine intention, naturally it leads to actions grounded in integrity. Where your focus goes, your energy flows and how you do one thing is ultimately how you do everything. I really encourage you to take a moment to think about the goals you want to reach for the year, write them down and start taking little actionable steps towards them. I promise you, you will surprise yourself.
Tune in now as I talk about Avaline, give you some background on Tagaris winery and get into the nitty gritty of setting your goals for the year. Let’s see if you like this Cabernet from Washington State.
Cheers to 2025!
