Happiness and Hope: Catching up with Sensory Expert Dr. Hoby

Back by popular demand... Dr. Hoby Wedler is my dear friend and sensory export who was born without sight. With his PhD in organic chemistry, he inspires people to experience the life at it fullest, especially when it comes to food, wine and the smells and sounds of the world around us!

Listen as Hoby and his partner Justin, my partner Michael and I all gather around the Holiday table and talk about:

  1. The exciting new projects we've all been up to since we last saw each other!
  2. Hoby and Justin's first impression of our new Sollevato Grenache, including its unique flavor profile and pairing possibilities
  3. The resilience of our Coffey Park neighborhood post-wildfires, and a new tradition for all of our neighbors to enjoy
  4. The challenges of pairing wine with spicy food
  5. Hoby's got a new project and you'll want to be in the know

Hoby's Haiku:

Fresh and pure. Is it

silky, supple, smooth, delightful.

It makes us all happy.
