Happy Mother’s Day! In honor of this upcoming holiday and to celebrate mothers all over the world, I invited my Mom to be a guest on the podcast. Have a listen:
So what will you encounter this episode? Excellent question. Among other things:
- Two wines that begin with “M” that my Mom was most familiar with as a young adult
- Shifting gears completely, a wine that begins with “I”
- Her “a-ha” wine moment at Chicago’s Blackbird
- A shocking accusation concerning why I wanted my parents to explore wine
- Was wine in my DNA?
- A talk about wine destinations in California and the world (FYI, my Mom and I have travelled together to Napa, Sonoma, Argentina, Chile, Australia, and New Zealand)
- A super-cool island of wine my Mom has been to but I haven’t (NBD)
- What she thinks of the lighter-style reds I love
- Remembering a fantastic, inexpensive, cool restauarant in Buenos Aires (Juana M)
Here’s a photo my Mom took of me at Joseph Phelps (duh) in Napa:
“I wonder if they have a bottle of Insignia that needs this corkscrew.”
