During my visit to the Niagara Peninsula in Canada in 2015, I discovered and was greatly impressed by the wines of Pearl Morissette. However, I had never heard of the Ars Amandi orange pet-nat from Tenuta Santa Lucia in Emilia-Romagna, Italy. Intrigued, I decided to order both wines from The Waves, a new platform that specializes in natural wines. The Waves, curated by sommelier and winemaker Rajat Parr and sommelier Billy Smith, exclusively features wines made from organic grapes, without synthetic additives, and fermented with native yeasts. The platform offers a diverse selection of wines, ranging from off-the-grid choices like the Ars Amandi pet-nat to more mainstream options like Beaujolais-Villages. With regular additions and affordable prices (most bottles are under $40), The Waves provides a tempting shopping experience for those looking to break free from wine stereotypes. Alternatively, you can entrust your wine choices to the experts.

A Shocking Examination of Farmed Salmon
Journalists Simen Saetre and Kjetil Ostli have devoted five years to studying the world of farmed salmon, revealing the hidden truths in their comprehensive 365-page exposé, “The New Fish.” Their work, reminiscent of Rachel Carson’s groundbreaking “Silent Spring,” uncovers the numerous issues surrounding farmed salmon, including the rampant spread of diseases and parasites, the toxic measures taken to prevent mass die-offs (such as increasing use of hydrogen peroxide), and the suppression of research and journalistic efforts exposing these concerns. One particularly shocking revelation is that salmon was never a part of the sushi menu until Norwegian trade officials convinced the Japanese to give it a try in the late 1980s. This eye-opening book challenges readers to reconsider their consumption of farmed salmon, a industry that has grown exponentially since 1970. Unfortunately, “The New Fish” does not conclude on an optimistic note.
Uncover the truth in “The New Fish: The Truth About Farmed Salmon and the Consequences We Can No Longer Ignore” by Simen Saetre and Kjetil Ostli, available for $22 from Patagonia.
