Vegan Paleo - Could this be a thing?
Last summer I had an incredible reception from our article on Paleo. It was picked up by many food bloggers and specialised paleo websites. After all, there wasn’t many resources on whether wine is Paleo friendly or not.

An Introduction to Mindfulness and Wine
Have you ever found yourself finishing off a few large glasses of wine, or dare I say, a whole bottle?
Maybe your busy and stressful and schedule encourages you to create a small cabinet with a few bottles of wine, which dares you celebrate getting home with a glass of any wine?
Free Run Juice, the health conscious answer for red wine?
Over the last decade of two, many of us will have heard the phrase ‘first wine of the chateau’ or ‘free run juice’. Apart from the obvious association with greater wine quality, is there any substance behind wine that a made from just free run juice? But what exactly is it and how is this made?
