I am a very fortunate person, with an amazing job. Almost weekly I meet the most incredible people in the food and wine business, and drive them around as they share their wines and knowledge! Therefore, I have decided to start recording our journeys! Join me!

Episode 1, Season 4 "Montes: Aurelio Cool Story"

I'm not sure if there is a cooler way to kick off the new season: Aurelio Montes. Frickin' AURELIO MONTES!! During the course of this awesome conversation, Aurelio tells us about the history of Montes, the future of Montes, and everything in between. (like, why, exactly are they making Malbec in Chile?!) First 'Take Five' of the year, with Chef Javier Uriarte - owner of the newly opened Ratio Restaurant. Javier tells how his Peruvian background influences everything he puts on the table, and of course, his favorite Star Wars character. Finally, the first of (hopefully) many of these segments with Ian Burch, winemaker for Archery Summit and guest from Season 3. Ian takes us for a walk through his lovely vineyards in Willamette Valley, Oregon, and shows us exactly what is going on! Wines tasted this episode: Montes Alpha Chardonnay, D.O. Valle de Casablanca 2017 Montes Alpha Malbec, D.O. Valle de Colchagua 2017

Episode 14, Season 3 "It's Rainin' Cab, HALL-elujah"

In this episode I had the great pleasure of speaking with Kathryn Hall. Tune in to hear a snapshot of the amazing story someone who went from loving wine, to creating some of the best (and most highly rated) wines to come out of Napa Valley! Such a delight, and so humble, I really cannot say enough about the pleasure it was to speak (and taste with) Kathryn. Enjoy! Wine tasted this episode: Kathryn Hall Cabernet Sauvignon, 2016

Episode 13, Season 3 "They Simi Rollin"

I had the amazing opportunity to speak with Melissa Stackhouse, Sonoma icon and director of winemaking for Simi Winery. Melissa tells me all about her experiences and her wine, as well as the history (and future) of this truly, iconic winery. In this week's local restaurant segment, I am speaking with Carmella Roche, who's grandmother opened Villa Tronco (SC's oldest restaurant) 80 years ago (not to mention brought pizza to Columbia!) Also, in my second installment of 'Life Behind Bars' with Josh Taylor, we discuss several things, including: "what does domestic actually mean?"
