DISCUSSIONS DU JOUR:TODAY FOLKS we are in CASTILLA Y LEON following along the Duero River from Ribera del Duero in the middle of Spain all the way to Arribas on the border of Portugal. A river journey! Grab your inner tube! Grab your wine!

We start with some big bold Tempranillos from the middle there, and the move onto some lighter fare from the border region. Fun!

We also discuss Elodie's work trip where she tasted one million wines.

In therapy, we talk about work stuff… understanding and accepting our bandwidth. We talk about the compulsion to do everything and the work culture we have that creates false urgency, and how we are trying to push against that.

We talk about being patient with ourselves at work, the time it takes to master things, and the discomfort of not knowing.

Then a bit about relationships… bids for affection and how to meet your partner in the while also honoring your boundaries. A fine balance!

Wine 1: Viña Sastre Ribera del Duero Roble ($23)

Wine 2: Bodega Frontio Deldoma ($28)

ABOUT THE QUE SERA SYRAH PODCAST:

After many consecutive Sunday mornings at the wine bar discussing our wine obsessions and our personal lives, we thought to ourselves… do you think other people might care about this stuff? The answer to that question is still ambiguous. But we recorded a podcast anyway.

Here's the deal:

🎤It’s a podcast about wine & therapy

🍷Dan and Elo will each bring a wine each week to taste & discuss

😩We will also bring our traumas & triumphs from therapy that week to share openly with the world

The goal is to learn about wine and get a little tipsy and be VULNERABLE TOGETHER. How cute?!
