It is focused on the narratives behind the winemakers rather than wine scoring. Founded and hosted by Vino-enthusiast Pierre Ferland, it offers a different and refreshing concept in wine exploration. Each episode offers a unique perspective on vineyard's tales, much like each vintage brings its own profile and personality to a blend.

From a consumer perspective, we are intrigued by how wine scoring has dominated the industry, leaving many enthusiasts perplexed by its intricacies yet still relying on a solitary number for their selections. We understand and respect the fact that a generous score can help move a few bottles and we won't hold it against any wineries, but from a vintner and a winemaker perspective, we po Delusional & Dangerous Kate Moore, Tim Moore Welcome to Delusional and Dangerous… a show about all things wellness that the mainstream considers weird, crazy, out there, or simply made up.Delusional and dangerous are two words that we have been personally called when it comes to our understanding of health and lifestyle choices that cultivate true ancestral wellness which is ironic because the reality is quite the opposite.Our culture is flooded with ideas about what makes us well that are truly delusional and often dangerous.The result? Disease and disorders in physical and mental wellness are at an all time high… and skyrocketing.Tune in for conversations, rants, and rambles about sources of toxicity and how to avoid them, what it takes to live a sustainable healthy lifestyle in this modern climate, paradigm shifts that can radically and quickly alter the state of your health, and demystification of the psycho advice and products provided by the medical industrial complex.Hosted by Tim & Kate Moore of LunaTerra Apothecary.
