From the Bible to Benjamin Franklin, from the cuneiform tablets of the ancient Sumerians to the dinner tables of modern bistros, wines have always been a part of civilization, culture, and history. Every country in the world has a special relationship with wine and takes a unique approach to the making, serving, and enjoying of it. Wine is an expression of the hopes, dreams, and cultures of the people who make it, so what better way to learn about the countries of the world than by learning about their wines?

Storytime to inspire diving deeper into the adventure of wine
Reviewed: 05-07-21
A few errors, but a great way to wet the palate and go on to learn more! It’s a quick trip around the world and through time, all while doing your homework of enjoying a glass of wine. And kudos to any wine reader that doesn’t sound pompous. (Too many audible wine book performers would be more appropriate for Downton Abbey times.)

Diseased writing & performance

The writing style, delivery, & perspective... forgive the expression, makes my ass twitch. The writing stems from a grumpy high horseman, a bitter Queen, or a privileged private school boy who doesn't approve of his ice cream.

The affirmations aren't all terrible, but a computer-like voice telling you how to be more human is disturbing. The mechanical narration is too distracting.

For David Goggins, childhood was a nightmare--poverty, prejudice, and physical abuse colored his days and haunted his nights. But through self-discipline, mental toughness, and hard work, Goggins transformed himself from a depressed, overweight young man with no future into a US Armed Forces icon and one of the world's top endurance athletes. The only man in history to complete elite training as a Navy SEAL, Army Ranger, and Air Force tactical air controller, he went on to set records in numerous endurance events.

Amazing get off your ass book
Reviewed: 10-12-20
I'm grateful this was recommended to me & I pass that on. The only caveat is that Goggins doesn't read the entire book himself, but is rather there for just the "podcast" discussion part (which is awesome). His voice sounds like he's been through a lot, whereas the actual narrator... sounds like he's never done a pushup in his life. Regardless, get past that & you'll be rewarded with insane motivation. I hear his voice everytime I go to make a lazy decision, like he's the angel on my shoulder saying "Come on man, you're not living your life to it's full capacity." Roger that.

Stop Worrying Affirmations

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 34
The law of attraction is based on the idea that everything in the universe has a polarity, meaning that everything - from the food you eat to the people you talk to, to the things you say to the things you think - contains either a positive or a negative kind of energy. Notice that being with people who complain or rant a lot tends to make you feel bad, even though you're not exactly experiencing what they're going through - that's the law of attraction working its magic. When you focus on negative stuff, then more negative stuff will happen.

This is one of the weaker ones of the series.
Reviewed: 08-25-20
Between the narrator's voice & the injection of religious perspective for you to "fulfill God's calling because this is His will," this was torture in comparison to good ones in the series. I'll keep weeding through them since the good ones are worth it. Hearing "His plan for you", etc in a hypnosis recording is too cultist. I like to keep my religion & spiritual beliefs separate from "hypnosis" & brain training. Not sure if there was a religious warning in the synopsis or reviews, but there should be a heads up. This is the 2nd time I've been so disappointed by "exclusivity."

In The Widow Clicquot, Tilar J. Mazzeo brings to life for the first time the fascinating woman behind the iconic yellow label: Barbe-Nicole Clicquot Ponsardin. A young witness to the dramatic events of the French Revolution and a new widow during the chaotic years of the Napoleonic Wars, Barbe-Nicole defied convention by assuming---after her husband's death---the reins of the fledgling wine business they had nurtured.

"Speculation" approach could've been a bit smoother with just the forewarning and then moved into as historical fiction. Reminds me of archeologists working with the limited artifacts left behind, piecing all of the puzzle together. Fantastic focus. Please more wine audible wine books and more on female history!

Soothing, deep tone, great meditation
Reviewed: 05-14-20
I've been listening to this one for the entire week so far & everytime I've passed out before being 10 minutes in. He says "let go" in a different way than your brain has habituated to. The result is that you efficiently release your day. Also, too many meditation recordings are with a Valley Girl up tick at the end of each sentence & the tone/voices are not soothing. Diddys', the Monterey Bay Aquarium Meditocean, & Jon Kabat Zinn are perfectly serene.

In her memoir, a work of deep reflection and mesmerizing storytelling, Michelle Obama invites listeners into her world, chronicling the experiences that have shaped her - from her childhood on the South Side of Chicago to her years as an executive balancing the demands of motherhood and work to her time spent at the world's most famous address.

Refreshing story and perspective. So good & her voice is smooth and comforting. Brilliant individual & phenomenal role model. I don't usually read books surrounding politicians (I prefer certain news outlets rather than personally spun propaganda). But this is a great read for anyone who cherishes family values of love, respect, growth, and community.
