Rainbow Bridge

About Rainbow Bridge: Rainbow Bridge started in 1986 in a small section of what had once been Vans Markets. Unknown to the owners of Rainbow Bridge, a beautiful, cedar-lined ceiling was hidden above the drop ceiling. In 2002, they undertook an enormous renovation that doubled the size of the small market and restored it to the same size as the original Vans Markets of Ojai.

Rainbow Bridge is dedicated to bringing the best food and curated goods to the Ojai Valley. The iconic downtown market is spreading into multiple roofs with one mission: to offer healthy, wholesome food and sustainable, ethically produced goods to the Ojai community.

In this episode JJ, Doug, and Diane discuss:

• The things Rainbow Bridge has to offer

• How Rainbow Bridge's owner manages the store and its employees

• The unique selling point of Rainbow Bridge in Ojai

This episode features JJ and Doug visiting Rainbow Bridge and joining them is Diane Parker from the Rainbow Bridge homeopathic department.

The Ojai Vineyard

About The Ojai Vineyard: Located on Montgomery Street, The Ojai Vineyard creates California wines with a European sense of finesse. The wines they make today are a culmination of four decades of pursuing excellence with the fruit grown in their region. From Stockholm to New York, their wines are poured in the finest restaurants because the quality and value of The Ojai Vineyard are understood by wine professionals around the world.

Their tasting room is open daily 12-5 pm and offers flights and wines by the glass.

In this episode JJ, Doug, Michael, and Fabien discuss:

• The art of tasting and smelling wines

• Meditating with wine

• Iconic products are made by combining intention and artistry

• The culture and tradition of wine

In this episode, JJ and Doug visit The Ojai Vineyard with co-host Michael Neeley and Ojai Vineyard manager Fabien Castel.

Born and raised in Paris, Fabien was exposed to a variety of old and young wines all his life but never received formal wine training until he started working at the Ojai Vineyard. Under Adam Tolmach's guidance, the owner of The Ojai Vineyard, he gained an understanding of the process of tasting and winemaking, and it has become his mission to explain the uniqueness of this quest, as well as how it translates into The Ojai Vineyard's wines.
