HYDRATION
By Laurie Gilchrist
[Excerpt] "Is there anything more simply refreshing than an ice cold glass of water? Water is essential for life, for regulating the body’s temperature, cushioning vital organs, digesting food, transporting nutrients within the cells, and banishing waste. In fact, over half of the human body is composed of water. Despite the importance of this wondrous element, rumors and speculation abound concerning the extent of its role in our lives. How do we separate the fact from the fiction?"
SCHOLIUM PROJECT
By Laurie Gilchrist
[Excerpt] "From the Greek ‘scholion’ which shares the same root as school and scholarship and signifies a modest project, not a preeminent one, undertaken for the sake of learning, understanding - hence a commentary, an essay, a study.” Abe Schoener, former professor of ancient Greek philosophy, might have topped the list of “least likely to succeed” in the California wine scene. His ideas are outrageous, his wines don’t just push the envelope, they shred it, and in a business that’s all about pleasing the critics, Abe pleases himself instead... And a small, fanatical cult following as well." PLUS: 7 questions with Abe Schoener
LAZY MAGNOLIA
By Laurie Gilchrist
[Excerpt] "Mark and Leslie Henderson were both born and raised in Mississippi, met in college, fell in love and moved to the Gulf Coast in 2000 to begin careers in engineering. Leslie bought Mark a home brewing kit one Christmas as a novelty gift, but he admittedly only used it once before Leslie became enthralled and converted their home into a mini brewery, experimenting with scores of recipes and supplying the neighborhood with beer." PLUS: 7 questions with Leslie Henderson
