Listen Later

Caroline has the misfortune of going on her 10th anniversary trip alone to England, after discovering her husband’s affair. She goes mudlarking, and she soon discovers a centuries old apothecary vial. This vial is from a special apothecary owned by Nella who created tinctures and potions. When Eliza’s boss comes to Nella’s shop, Eliza finds herself with time and curiosity about this tiny apothecary on her hands. Orders for tinctures are beyond Nella’s ability to meet them, so she takes on Eliza as an apprentice of sorts. Women watching out for each other and taking the time to notice what doesn’t belong are a thread running through this story. By the time you find out how this vial ended up at the bottom of the river, you will care deeply for these women and the truth they each dredged up. What does Strom Thurmond have to do with your wine drinking experience? Listen to find out! Join us for an exploration of sulfites, tannins and histamines as we sip a Domaine Viret Syrah called Energie and here the tale of this Rhone winery.
