    Beyond the Glass: June Rodil on Hospitality, Identity, and Building Community

    Before becoming one of only a handful of female Master Sommeliers in the Americas and helping build one of Houston’s most respected restaurant groups, June Rodil’s journey started halfway around the world. After moving from the Philippines to Texas as a child, June learned early what resilience looks like watching her mother build a life from scratch in a new country. That blueprint of grit and curiosity would eventually guide June through the demanding world of hospitality, the rigorous journey to becoming a Master Sommelier, and into leadership with Houston-based restaurant group Goodnight Hospitality. In this episode, June shares the lessons she learned growing up between cultures, the realities of navigating a male-dominated wine world, why community among sommeliers matters more than ego, and how authenticity—not volume—is the key to finding your voice in hospitality. This conversation goes far beyond wine. It’s about perseverance, identity, leadership, and the people who shape the path we walk. If you’re in Houston, June will also be hosting a special Hirsch Wine Dinner at The Marigold Club on March 26, bringing together exceptional wines and thoughtful hospitality for an unforgettable evening. And for wine lovers looking to explore more of June’s perspective on great bottles, her All Day Wine Club delivers curated selections, rare finds, and wines with a story directly to members each month.

    Strings in Sync: The Elemental World of Tyler Ramsey & Carl Broemel

    In this episode, we sit down with two modern guitar poets: Tyler Ramsey (former Band of Horses songwriter and guitarist) and Carl Broemel (longtime guitarist of My Morning Jacket). Their new collaborative project, "Celestun," was born in one of the most unlikely ways — not on tour, not in a studio, but through remote track-swapping during the stillness of the pandemic. We explore how two distinct musical voices became a seamless conversation, how creative chemistry can thrive even from a distance, and how their album draws on timeless acoustic influences while staying rooted in personal stories of friendship, family, and artistic growth. If you’re fascinated by collaboration, musicianship, or the magic that happens when two artists truly get each other, this is an episode you won’t want to miss. *TOUR DATES*
