Why do so many people insist on mixing their alcohol with sugar? Erica Wides addresses the growing epidemic of dessert flavored booze and asks why grown ups are drinking like toddlers. Is this a marketing ploy to get young people addicted to alcohol, or are we just that addicted to sweets? Find out on a boozy edition of Let's Get Real. This episode was sponsored by S. Wallace Edwards & Sons.
"We're turning into overgrown overweight drunken toddlers."
"Nobody needs to drink chocolate vodka. Chocolate and vodka should never meet. There is nowhere they can intersect successfully."
--Erica Wides on Let's Get Real

How does "foodiness" relate to wine? Friend of the show and sponsor of the network, Christopher Howell of Cain Vineyard & Winery in Napa Valley joins Erica Wides for this week's episode of "Let's Get Real". Learn what goes into making "real" wine - from fermentation to "organic" or "biodynamic" grapes and everything in between. Chris and Erica discuss scale of production, ingredient labeling, regulation, and authenticity as they relate to wine - and dispel many common myths. Get real about what's in your glass on this week's episode of Let's Get Real! This program has been sponsored by HeritageRadioNetwork.org.
"The real funny thing about wine is that even if you are the size of coca cola everybody wants to trade on the idea of Mom & Pops in the vineyards crushing grapes." [12:00]
"Some of the smallest scale wines are the highest controlled. It's all about needing to be known." [20:00]
"The idea that there should be no control and no thought would imply that there's no cooking in the kitchen!." [24:00]
"Natural wine is wine's contribution to the raw food world." [25:00]
"In order for wine to be real - the key is going to be providence." [27:00]
"If you think the wine is trying to be cool - perhaps it's the least likely to be something that hasn't been manipulated." [30:00]

On today’s THE FOOD SEEN, we have Tattfoo Tan, Michael Pribich and Jorge Rojas, contributing artists to Project Row Houses’ “Matter of Food” exhibition. From Tattfoo’s “S.O.S. + Greenhouse Collective” which serves as a incubator of ideas through community collaboration, to Michael’s “Sugarland” that deals with the labor practices in sugar harvesting, to Jorge’s “Gente de Maiz” looking at corn as an ingredient of worship (includes the “Tortilla Oracle” readings), see how their projects inform how societal beliefs and practices effect our food systems. This episode was sponsored by Hearst Ranch. For more information visit HearstRanch.com
