In this episode Kat has a beautiful rosato from the iconic Piemonte producer, G.D. Vajra. This 2020 rose has all the delights that brings energy, freshness, wild strawberries and raspberries. It's a great time for rose (yes, even during Thanksgiving week!) because the family run business is built on hustle, resilience and team work. Similarly, to build a dream in our own life requires the dedication and thick skin to persevere, even in chaos and noise. This is a heartfelt episode as Kat's father is quickly approaching the end of his life, simultaneously as the business is about to launch. Grab a glass and listen!!

Today's wine and wellness topic is on how to handle rejection to authentically move on without pain or resentment. It happens to all of us and it doesn't have to throw us off course. Also in this episode is how to make a red wine, every step involved on how red wine is made, from the vineyard to the press to the bottling line and out the door. It is a process and there are a lot of choices a winemaker can make along the way. No surprise that the wine in the glass today is another Chardonnay, this time from the Mark Ryan family. It is not easy to get rejected, but we can do so with grace, compassion and resilience. Cheers!! xx
