    Why You Should Be Drinking Israeli Wine

    Why You Should Be Drinking Israeli Wine

    Today's discussion revolved around Israel and its wine industry. We speak about Israel's geographical situation, its people, and the challenges they face, with a particular focus on the wine industry. We highlight the resilience of the Israeli people and the potential of the Israeli wine industry while being faced with the challenges in creating awareness and marketing Israeli wines, especially in the current global situation. Initiatives like organizing trips for sommeliers and buyers to Israel and the 'Sip for Solidarity' program, which donates a portion of proceeds from Israeli wines to support the industry, were introduced. The cultural significance of wine in Jewish practices was also touched upon.

Every episode makes me want to go eat there

Max and Matt do a wonderful job of showcasing all the food and restaurant talent in NC. The podcast is very well done, too, great production

Just What I Have Been Missing

I moved to the triangle from LA a couple years ago where I was really connected to the food industry and have really struggled to find that here in NC. This show gives me a sense of what I’ve been missing in how they talk inside baseball about the industry, weave connections between current and former guests, and dig deep into the stories of why people do what they do. It’s like having a local version of my favorite NPR show Good Food.

Supporting F&B Employees

Thankful. As this pod continued to grow, I saw an even greater emphasis on the people of F&B in NC. Showcasing small businesses, entrepreneurs, producers, creators, servers, bars and restaurants means not just throwing love at venues but throwing respect and care for the people in the industry- from servers, bussers, barkeeps, BOH, farmers, product entrepreneurs, etc. Let’s keep the conversations going and building greater equity, living wage pay, small business and community support ! Well done y’all!
