Why This, Why Now? "Come Over October" Explained

In a Sip with Nikki first, I have 2 ENCORE guests with me: Karen MacNeil (Season 1 Ep 24) and Dr Hoby Wedler (Season 1 Ep 13). The three of us came together to talk about an exciting new initiative that Karen started and that Hoby and I are big supporters of. We gathered in Karen’s office St. Helena and shared a very special bottle of wine from an epic year. This lively and heartfelt conversation touched on so many topics like:

What is “Come Over October” and why you need to be a part of it!
Karen’s CAREER HIGHLIGHT moment and why wine is bipartisan
How understanding texture can help you buy wine
The Naked Cowboy in Time Square and his connection to all of this (Check out the Video on Karen's Instagram)

Visit the Come Over October Website to learn how you can get involved and find entertaining tips and ideas! And don't forget to use #comeoveroctober to tag your pictures, and videos!
