The Wine Situation

Welcome to the most chaotic (in good ways) ep in a while! This week Elle is joined by Fahara Zamorano, of NiteThyme Wines, Ace of Cups and more! They get into Fahara's globetrotting career, all the while watching a standoff between Elle's little cat and Fahara's rather large dog. They washed it down with Inman Family Wines newest offering, the 2022 "G&T" a Grenache/Tempranillo blend from Lake County. Made by Kathleen Inman, it stunned them both.
