    We speak to sommelier and importer Jane Lopes who, along with her husband,  Jonathan Ross have donated a Ruth Bader Ginsburg lot to the Vines 4 Votes online wine auction. This was in honor of the wine and cheese tasting they held for the late Supreme Court Justice’s 83rd birthday in March of 2016.  Jane shares how RBG inspires her to fight for justice and equality.

    Vines4Votes is an online wine auction from October 12 to 16, 2020.  All proceeds are donated to the ACLU of Texas and earmarked for their vote against voter suppression.

  • Episode 01: Zev Rovine and the Working Contract

    We speak to Zev Rovine about his "working contract" with his wineries. It will "address issues such as sexist behavior, racist behavior, labor rights, and responsible stewardship of the land we farm.”

    This was in response to one of Zev’s Italian producers, Valentina Passalacqua, who was under scrutiny when her father was placed under house arrest by the police. He owns a vegetable company and is accused of exploiting his migrant workers.

    Zev has since discontinued his relationship with Valentina.Zev Rovine started his natural wine company, Zev Rovine Selections in 2009.  They are based in Brooklyn, NY.
