Listen now | The author of Philosophy and Life: Exploring the Great Questions of How to Live dials in from Margaret River to ponder existence through the lens of wine.
In Bordeaux, there was an annual event called Les Epicuriales. I absolutely loved it . For 10 days, the main plaza next to the opera was transformed into a little village with restaurants and wine bars. You could just go there with friends and family for a nice long evening (in June, the sun sets at 10pm!) with music. Just enjoying with moderation (or not, for others)! Some part of your interview reminded me of it.
Wow!! This was one of best interviews I’ve heard in a very long time. How invigorating to hear ancient ideas in the context of today’s information age and also wine - enjoyed in its moderation, its elegance and all the trials and tribulations of production. Just brilliant!
Thanks for the comment, Tim. Your wisdom was duly credited by Professor Grayling; I hope others reading this will get to taste your interpretation of Margaret River. And, of course, I hope to entice you into the podcast.
What a brilliant philosophical conversation! I loved it!
That kind of setting sounds perfect.

What an awesome comment, @Jingles—really glad you enjoyed the piece.
What an excellent way to spend an hour, which covered the full breadth of life, death, the classics and (most importantly) how it all relates to wine!
