  • New Episode: Wine Oh! TV Lodi! What began as a Facebook Post in January 2022 and an idea to bring my show back with only six episodes in a new half-hour format and zero idea how it could happen after all that had happened ๐Ÿ’™ ends with todayโ€™s episode. ๐Ÿ‡  Our Lodi episode is source of pride for me because we shot this very โ€œlocal news styleโ€ making each interview happen boots on the ground.  We shot Lodi during harvest October 2022 and it brings an end to our new season and a day of joy, pride, and a little sadness.  Iโ€™ve been so close to these episodes for the past 16 months, putting most of my personal life on hold to see this relaunch through until completion. At the same time while in post production all of 2023, I rebuilt my website, created a new logo, and brought our Wine Oh! TV logo lady to life with animation.  I cover wine because itโ€™s deeply rooted in our region, our religion, itโ€™s an agricultural product that comes from the earth, itโ€™s a way of life, itโ€™s a lifestyle, but more importantly it brings people together. A common thread that unites us all is how we come together and we come together around the table, building community by breaking bread, often opening a bottle (whether it be wine, grape juice, beer, spirits), and connecting through culture. This is what I tried to show with my show this season and Iโ€™m so grateful to all of you for seeing me through.  What feels like an ending I know is only the beginning. Thank you for joining the journey with me! ๐Ÿ’› Iโ€™m excited to see what this next year will bring! ๐Ÿฅ‚
  • What an honor for me to be invited to taste the inaugural release of @simonfamilyestate pinnacle wine, the Simon Family Estate Reserve Cabernet. It certainly was an evening and wine pairing dinner to remember at The Charter Oak!  Sam & Nada Simon teamed up with renowned winemaker Maayan Koschitzky (whose resume includes Screaming Eagle, Dalla Valle, and Atelier Melka among others) to make their one of a kind wines.  What I love about wine is how it brings people together. The pairing from these unlikely โ€œbrothersโ€ (Sam is an Iraqi Catholic and Maayan, an Israeli Jew) and how they came to work together is a story I look forward to sharing on my show Wine Oh! TV! Until then here are some fun photos from our dinner last night. ๐Ÿท๐Ÿ’ซ๐Ÿ‡
