There’s a quiet that settles in after the holidays — when the dishes are done, the lights are still glowing, and the rush finally fades into something softer.

In this episode of The Maker’s Table: Holiday Special Series, we step into that in-between space between Christmas and the New Year — the stretch where time feels slower, reflection comes naturally, and nothing needs to be rushed.

Using winemaking as a metaphor, this episode explores what it means to wait well. To trust the quiet seasons. To recognize that growth doesn’t always happen in motion — sometimes it happens in stillness.

We talk about:
• the power of the waiting season
• why refinement matters more than reinvention
• what winemaking teaches us about patience and trust
• honoring the work you’ve already done
• pouring forward with intention instead of urgency

If you’re feeling pressure to start fresh, fix everything, or reinvent yourself by January 1st, this episode is a gentle reminder: you don’t need to rush what’s already becoming something worth savoring.

Because some of the best things — like a good bottle of wine — just need time to breathe.
