They have nice fruit notes, but none of the wines are sweet.Crushable bright flavor. Across the gamut, our entire portfolio has a brightness and a freshness to it. All of our wines are like slightly aromatic because I love an aromatic variety, but part of the thought that we put behind the brand is that I wanted to take that sommelier curation and put it in the restaurant, on the retail shelf so that when you're serving Nomadica at your home, at parties and the beach, 99% percent of people will love it.I'm doing the work on the back end on blending, sourcing, creating these flavor profiles that's really taking that wine experience, that decade plus of developing my own palette and giving it back to the consumer. Joe Winger: What are the best ways to follow your journey and to learn more about you?Kristin Olszewski: You can buy Nomadica online and our new rosé yuzu spritz, which is delicious at www.ExploreNomadica.com.

Alexander Seltzer ‘s horror short film “The Door” brings suspense and haunting performances to Holly ShortsSynopsis: A year after their daughter’s disappearance, Kara and Felix struggle to move on in their own ways as their marriage falls apart around them. But when a mysterious door appears in her kitchen, Kara becomes obsessed with uncovering what lies behind it at any cost. Even as it threatens to reopen old wounds.Alexander Seltzer:I like to make movies about things that scare me typically. So with The Door, I’ve been terrified of becoming a parent; and parenthood in general. I really wanted to make a movie about that and exploring my fears and where they come from, but in an interesting, entertaining way. I wanted to ask the question of the audience, of myself, of whether or not: does parenthood transcend morality?Ultimately, I hope that audiences come away watching the movie asking that question of themselves. Would they do anything different to what our lead Cara does at the end?My website is just AlexanderSelzer.com But the best place to track me is Instagram: Alex_Seltzer. And my producer’s production company is BigPigCo.

The other thing is is spreading the word about our bed, breakfast and bourbon. It's a bed and breakfast in Fredericksburg, VA that when we're out when you're there, you can drink bourbon.We make a lot of old fashions there and we always have all these leftover oranges. And now the perfect thing is in the morning you have fresh squeeze orange juice from our old fashions. It's a really working double duty now.But besides that I just love the fact that we can now expand our distillery up to Fredericksburg. So we can have more people try our bourbon and enjoy our bourbon, which is the goal.

Hungry for Chinese? The App making Takeout even Tastier for you from HungryPanda.Co (FullEp)Leveraging their industry-leading delivery services, the HungryPanda app seamlessly connects food, people and culture.HungryPanda goes further with Asian food cultureThe 'Golden Panda Award' is a symbol of excellence in the global overseas Chinese food industry, setting the highest standard for culinary achievement.It stands as the world's exclusive international honor specifically dedicated to recognizing restaurant businesses in the food delivery sector. This prestigious award embodies commitment to promoting and celebrating outstanding achievements in the realm of international Chinese cuisine.We are here today with Kitty Lu from HungryPanda. Help me get to know HungryPanda.co Kitty Lu: HungryPanda serves a niche market for Asian communities.  We were established in 2017, founded in the UK when our CEO and the founding team were studying in Nottingham University.The platform was born from a very simple, but compelling need experienced first hand, by the founders as international students, struggling to find authentic Chinese food in the UK. From that outset, HungryPanda started to really focus sharply on that particular niche market, tailoring our user experience with Chinese interfaces to overcome culture and language barriers.That's how our app got started.  We are very lucky enough to be growing really fast within the past six years. Now we expanded into 10 different countries, including: US, Canada, UK, France, Italy, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Korea, and Singapore.

Joe Winger: Just to touch on background a little bit, you were the winemaker and founder of a very successful urban winery, the Infinite Monkey Theorem. Then you chose to move on to where you are now at The Ordinary Fellow. What was that transition like for you?Ben Parsons: The Infinite Monkey Theorem was really about disrupting the wine industry and trying to make wine fun and relevant and accessible. We were the first ones in the U.S. to put wine in the can. We started kegging in 2008. It was really about creating these urban winery spaces, just a tap room for a craft brewery in a city where everyone could come down and enjoy. After 11 years of taking that to a 100,000 case production distributed in 42 states, there was a really good opportunity for me to get back to what I wanted to do, which is being in a vineyard.Even though that might sound like a cliche, there is something quite romantic about farming and being surrounded by nature and really trying to make the very best wine you can from Colorado fruit that you grow and putting it in a bottle versus buying someone else’s wine and putting it in a can, they’re like two very different things.I had an opportunity to take over a vineyard in southwest Colorado down in the Four Corners just outside of Cortez, where the Four Corners meet. It was in disrepair and hadn’t been pruned in four years. So I got back in there and now it’s looking really good.So that’s taken 4 years. Yeah it’s relatively small. It’s 13 acres of Riesling, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon. Sits at 6,000 feet elevation. So very high for a commercial vineyard. And it’s beautiful. It sits on a national monument called the Yucca House, which is an un-excavated ancestral Pueblan ruin from between the 10th and 12th century.Starts at Mesa Verde, which most people are familiar with for the ancestral cliff dwellings from the Pueblans down there. It’s just a beautiful location. Yeah, two very different things, but kind of coming full circle almost as to what I got me into the industry in the beginning, back in the late 90s.And now back there, but doing it on my own.Joe Winger: You chose to be in Palisade, Colorado making your wine. Tell us a little bit about the region and why someone should come visit you in Colorado?Ben Parsons: Palisade is beautiful. It’s on the Western slope of Colorado. It’s about a 4 hour drive West of Denver over the mountains.About 4 1/2 hours East of Salt Lake City. It’s an American Viticultural Area designate called the Grand Valley and it’s pretty stunning. It’s known for its fruit. It’s actually known for its peaches, believe it or not. Some of the best peaches grown anywhere in the United States. Arguably the best. But it’s a very small microclimate.
