Feeling by Ryoko Sekiguchi
Eve, our social media manager, wants you to check out this deeply poetic exploration of winemaking: “It’s a book that sits at the sweet spot between exciting and soothing. Reading about something as technical as winemaking in Champagne becomes totally light and enjoyable here, thanks to Sekiguchi’s sensitive, thoughtful approach.“

Classic Country Drive
Stéphane, BESIDE’s architectural project manager, offers a custom playlist for your next road trip: “50 country rock songs that accompanied me along Highway 10 during my temporary exile from the city.”

Fire of Love by Sara Dosa
Marie Charles, BESIDE’s in-house content producer, is head-over-heels for this story of two volcanologists and their epic romance: “This documentary is pure artistic fusion: the confluence of a geology textbook and the cinematography of a Wes Anderson film. It’s a lyrical ode to adventure, love, and the earth.”

Astrology and You
Eliane, creative director and co-founder of BESIDE, thinks you’ll appreciate this astrology podcast, even if you’re not normally the type: “It’s fascinating — the planets in retrograde, the characteristics of astrological signs, and their many combinations.”

Mixed Drinks
Our associate editor-in-chief Mark is pretty sure you’ll love this pocket manual assembled by the artist Dean Baldwin Lew: “Each recipe was contributed by a different contemporary artist. As you can imagine, they range from the utterly weird to the truly inspired. Every cocktail is guaranteed to give you a unique experience.”
