“Farmhouse Vineyards is a family-owned Texas vineyard rooted in tradition, hard work, and a passion for exceptional wine. Owned and operated by two pairs of brothers and sisters-in-law, each member bringing a different personality to the company. The Seaton’s & Furgeson’s are comprised of 8 generations currently farming 7,000 acres of Cotton, Peanuts, Black Eyed Peas, Melons, Pumpkins, Various Grains, Dorper Sheep & Premium Texas Wine Grapes. Generations of dedication have led to the creation of wines that truly embody the Texas terroir. Farmhouse Vineyards is incredibly proud to boast #TheBestDamnClientList in Texas. Farmhouse Vineyards grows fruit for some of the largest wineries in the state of Texas down to the most boutique.” Katy Jane Seaton (Co-Founder) is our guest uncorking all that is Farmhouse Vineyards.
“Hospitality veteran Drew Nieporent has been a staple of the New York dining scene for decades, establishing a host of iconic restaurants like Nobu, Tribeca Grill, and Montrachet. But his career started from much more humble beginnings—the grill at the local McDonald’s. Told in Drew’s unforgettable voice, I’m Not Trying To Be Difficult is a rollicking memoir that feels like sitting across the dinner table from someone who has seen it all—one of the last great restaurateurs.”
The always refreshingly opinionated Drew Nieporent joins us to share a few of his most memorable stories.
For our concluding segment at 11:45 a.m. our own Chef Andrew Gruel, the menu-maker behind the full-service Calico Fish House (located in the Sunset Beach area of Huntington Beach) provides another timely and informative “Ask the Chef” segment where he responds to listeners’ thoughtful inquiries. The Thanksgiving feast preparations are upon us. Chef Andrew has some tips to make the Thanksgiving meal prep a little less stressful. Is a fresh turkey really superior to a flash frozen bird in terms of price and value? How about a recipe for an easy to make cranberry sauce that bests the familiar can variety any day of the week and house-made stuffing that’s almost free?
