For today’s episode, you may want to watch on YouTube because it will be very visual as we walk through the amazing products of VinGardeValise with CEO, Brooke Kochman. Shelley and Phil have been HUGE fans of these products for many, many years since seeing their products pitched on Shark Tank about three years ago. We even featured this product on episode 211 in May of 2024. But wait, there’s more!

The CDA Gourmet Wine Phrase of the Week – Carmin
It is the linguistic root of the grape Carménère. The name was chosen because of the brilliant, fiery crimson color the vine’s leaves turn in the autumn, just before the harvest.
