Yeah. 23 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:21,319 Speaker 2: Speaking of gathering, we got to try some of the 24 00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:25,320 Speaker 2: wines at shine Away this past fall, and oh it 25 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:28,280 Speaker 2: was so good. The debut collection includes a sparkling Rose, 26 00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:31,160 Speaker 2: a chardenay, a red. I think my favorite is a 27 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:33,240 Speaker 2: sparkling rose. I could not put my flute down. 28 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:37,600 Speaker 3: The sparkling rose was so delicious. There was a Hello 29 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 3: Sunshine collective party ahead of shine Away, and I was 30 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:44,800 Speaker 3: standing with Emily Bear, who's an incredible composer, and she goes, 31 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:46,320 Speaker 3: you have to try this, and I was like, no, 32 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:48,440 Speaker 3: I don't drink that much. She was like, no, no, no, 33 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:49,200 Speaker 3: it's really good. 34 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:50,360 Speaker 1: I try it. 35 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:52,920 Speaker 3: We are both loving it, and then I realized it 36 00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:54,480 Speaker 3: was Hello Sunshine sparkling wine. 37 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:58,000 Speaker 1: Yeah. It's honestly crazy how delicious it is. And you 38 00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:01,840 Speaker 1: know what, it was refreshingly crisp. The bubbles were the 39 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:04,680 Speaker 1: perfect size. I'm a bubble expert. 40 00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:08,519 Speaker 3: Her bubble connoisword, I would say, because, for instance, when 41 00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:12,400 Speaker 3: you drink sparkling water, the bubbles can be too big. 42 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,680 Speaker 3: This sparkling wine had the perfect sized bubble to go 43 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 3: down just right. So I will tell you at that 44 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 3: party that we were at Hello Sunshine. CEO Sarah Harden 45 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,680 Speaker 3: gave a toast to launch Drop of Sunshine, and she 46 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,120 Speaker 3: said something I loved about the new wines. She said, 47 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 3: this is a toast to women, to our connections and 48 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:32,960 Speaker 3: to the stories that bring us together. 49 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,359 Speaker 2: I really love that. That is the ethos of this 50 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,920 Speaker 2: wine label. And they even included that sentiment on the 51 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,399 Speaker 2: back of the label, so it's worth a read. Well, 52 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:44,120 Speaker 2: I think we need to raise a glass to our 53 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:47,839 Speaker 2: guest today because Jillian Balance is a Master som leier 54 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,400 Speaker 2: who is here to talk more about these wines and 55 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:52,680 Speaker 2: how we compare them with our favorite holiday dishes. 56 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,440 Speaker 1: Her resume is truly impressive. 57 00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:59,959 Speaker 3: Jillian is a Master somlier and she's the national education 58 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:04,079 Speaker 3: manager at Treasury Wine Estates, and she helped Hello Sunshine 59 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:05,720 Speaker 3: develop Drop of Sunshine. 60 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 2: Well, I think that's enough talking from us. Let's go 61 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 2: ahead and welcome Jillian Balance to the bright Side. 62 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,920 Speaker 1: Thank you, it's great to be here. We're so happy 63 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:15,000 Speaker 1: to have you. 64 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 3: You are one of less than twenty women in the 65 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,240 Speaker 3: United States and one of twenty five women in the 66 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 3: entire world with a Masters samo Ye accreditation. 67 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 1: That's correct. 68 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:29,960 Speaker 3: Wow, what is the process of becoming a sami Ye? 69 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 4: Well, gosh, I mean, the journey is long. 70 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 1: How did it start for you? 71 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:38,640 Speaker 4: It started for me because I was a ballet dancer 72 00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 4: and got a scholarship to New York University when I 73 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:49,920 Speaker 4: was seventeen and moved to New York, and like most performers, 74 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 4: you had to work in a restaurant to make some cash, 75 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 4: and so I really fell in love with wine working 76 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 4: in restaurants. It's in New York City, Okay. I enjoyed 77 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:07,520 Speaker 4: the social benefits. I enjoyed turning a hohum evening into 78 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 4: something really incredible just by serving a bottle of wine 79 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 4: to my guests, and that just kind of sparked this 80 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 4: desire in me to travel around the world to learn 81 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:22,320 Speaker 4: as much about it as I could. And so here 82 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:24,719 Speaker 4: I am today. It's been a great journey. 83 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 3: Tell me about the accreditation of being a somier versus 84 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 3: a master. 85 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,159 Speaker 4: Yeah, And I think it can be confusing, right, because 86 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:37,919 Speaker 4: the somolier is an actual role in a restaurant. So 87 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 4: historically in Europe, the somolier was somebody that served your 88 00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 4: cocktail before dinner, prepared your wine, served your after dinner. 89 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 4: Drink prepared your cigar when it was acceptable back in 90 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:55,080 Speaker 4: the day. So that was really the role now becoming 91 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:59,600 Speaker 4: a master sommelier. It's it's an organization that was created 92 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:03,679 Speaker 4: in the la sixties and really designed to give us 93 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 4: a way to speak the language of wine to selmore, 94 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 4: to be able to define it and bring people in 95 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 4: to enjoying wine as a part of everyday life. Certainly 96 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:22,520 Speaker 4: we all know it pairs so beautifully with food, It 97 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 4: aids in the digestion process and just makes, like I said, 98 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 4: what could be a jo hum evening something extraordinary, especially 99 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,359 Speaker 4: if you're with people that you love to be around. 100 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,800 Speaker 3: I can't think of very many people that I've met 101 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,479 Speaker 3: that are able to say they're one of twenty or 102 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:40,920 Speaker 3: one of twenty five. 103 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:42,080 Speaker 1: In the entire world. 104 00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:46,800 Speaker 3: It's a pretty remarkable statistic in your opinion. Why are 105 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 3: there so few women with a master's accreditation? 106 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:53,400 Speaker 4: Well there, I mean, in fairness, there's only about one 107 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,840 Speaker 4: hundred and seventy five in the world total. So that 108 00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:01,600 Speaker 4: tells you that it's a pretty hard, rigorous exam to pass. 109 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:06,280 Speaker 4: One of the pieces is in twenty four minutes, identifying 110 00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 4: six wines down to the year that the grapes were picked, 111 00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:13,520 Speaker 4: and the vineyard that the grapes were coming from, and 112 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 4: maybe even the. 113 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:16,200 Speaker 1: Producer if you're that good. 114 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:18,880 Speaker 4: Wow, So that's one of the pieces. 115 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:23,480 Speaker 1: Do you have a genetically spectacular nose or or palette? 116 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 1: Not at all. 117 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:28,480 Speaker 4: I just taste a lot of wine and I remember 118 00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:32,480 Speaker 4: it right, all of our experiences through our life. 119 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 1: Wow, we have built. 120 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 4: Up an arsenal right in our minds, and so I 121 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,919 Speaker 4: dip into that arsenal whenever I'm tasting a wine to 122 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:46,600 Speaker 4: where have I tasted that before? Where were these grapes grown, 123 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:50,080 Speaker 4: how were they treated by the time they ended up 124 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:50,600 Speaker 4: in the bottle? 125 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:52,960 Speaker 2: And it's a fun process. I love the way you 126 00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:56,400 Speaker 2: light up whenever you talk about wine. What's your favorite 127 00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 2: wine memory? 128 00:06:58,040 --> 00:06:58,440 Speaker 1: Is there? 129 00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:01,800 Speaker 2: Is there a memory that comes to mind of cracking 130 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:04,440 Speaker 2: open a really special bottle and I want to hear 131 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 2: about that night? 132 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:07,159 Speaker 1: Seriously? 133 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,600 Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, that's such a hard question. 134 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,160 Speaker 1: Or maybe do you have top three? Really? I do? 135 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:17,640 Speaker 4: Well, So most of the ones that stick out in 136 00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:23,840 Speaker 4: memory obviously had the most impact on me and my career, 137 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:27,680 Speaker 4: and for the most part, those are wines that live 138 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:33,240 Speaker 4: way beyond their expected life cycle, right, So for me, 139 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:36,960 Speaker 4: it was Madeira's imports that were from the late eighteen hundreds, 140 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:41,720 Speaker 4: what so that were still delicious and vibrant. 141 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:46,960 Speaker 2: How yeah, how exactly destroyed disintegrated. 142 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:50,600 Speaker 4: So some bottles get recorked over time, but now these 143 00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:55,040 Speaker 4: were still in place intact. If wine stored properly, it 144 00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:58,640 Speaker 4: can last a very long time. But what I think 145 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:02,720 Speaker 4: is so special about tasting something from the late eighteen hundreds. 146 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:06,320 Speaker 4: I'm a big history buff right, So for me, wine 147 00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:12,040 Speaker 4: is history in the bottle. It's also geography, geology, It's 148 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:15,960 Speaker 4: so many things wrapped up and so for me, those 149 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,520 Speaker 4: have been sort of some of those aha wines, wines 150 00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:23,200 Speaker 4: from the fifties, you know, champagnes and wines from the 151 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:26,200 Speaker 4: Lawar Valley that were over fifty years old and still 152 00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:29,840 Speaker 4: just like jaw droppingly beautiful when you tasted them. 153 00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,079 Speaker 3: So you've been a part of the development of Drop 154 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:37,840 Speaker 3: of Sunshine and these wines from an educational standpoint, Can 155 00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:39,559 Speaker 3: you take us into that process? 156 00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:40,920 Speaker 1: I don't even know what that means. 157 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:46,800 Speaker 4: Absolutely, So my role within our company and certainly with 158 00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:50,240 Speaker 4: the development of this brand is sort of being the 159 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 4: conduit between the wine making team and how we bring these. 160 00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:56,280 Speaker 1: Wines to life. 161 00:08:56,480 --> 00:09:01,240 Speaker 4: Yes, the whole thing is developed for the reason of communication. 162 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:06,440 Speaker 4: And it's still is surprising to me at how many 163 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:09,880 Speaker 4: people don't have confidence in what they are tasting. So 164 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,880 Speaker 4: if you can give them that little bit of confidence, 165 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:16,600 Speaker 4: that drop of sunshine, right, it goes a very long 166 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,840 Speaker 4: way in terms of their what they're going to drink 167 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:22,760 Speaker 4: in the future and how they approach wine. So that's 168 00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:25,640 Speaker 4: you know, sort of what I do and kind of 169 00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:32,800 Speaker 4: matching the profiles to specific occasions or food types or 170 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:34,560 Speaker 4: you know, things like that as well. 171 00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:39,199 Speaker 3: I'm curious how you are bringing the values of the 172 00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 3: wine to life through storytelling. 173 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:47,040 Speaker 4: Well, I think I mean for me personally, my journey 174 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 4: with wine has been nothing short of exceptional. My most 175 00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:58,920 Speaker 4: celebrated moments in life are with wine. My most you know, 176 00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:02,960 Speaker 4: defeated feeling defeated moments in life have involved wine. So 177 00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:06,920 Speaker 4: it's just it's a part of every story for everyone 178 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:08,360 Speaker 4: that enjoys wine. 179 00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:09,120 Speaker 1: Right. 180 00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:15,119 Speaker 4: So I think if somebody said, Jillian, you go out 181 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:16,880 Speaker 4: and make a wine, what do you want to call it? 182 00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:18,320 Speaker 1: This is what I would call it. 183 00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:22,520 Speaker 2: Well, you brought three drop of sunshine wines that you 184 00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:25,720 Speaker 2: help develop for us to try today there is a 185 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:30,959 Speaker 2: red blend, a chardenay, and a sparkling Rose's right, should 186 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:32,200 Speaker 2: we start with the sparkling rose. 187 00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:33,679 Speaker 1: Let's do it. 188 00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,400 Speaker 4: You know you're you're supposed to when you pop a 189 00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,320 Speaker 4: cork on a bottle of champagne or sparkling wine, you're 190 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:44,280 Speaker 4: supposed to just hear it whisper, right, just instead of popping. 191 00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:47,080 Speaker 1: Really, I didn't know that, So I'm going to try 192 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:50,720 Speaker 1: to do that. Yeah, and what does that do? Whilly? 193 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:54,080 Speaker 4: My skills are not going to disappoint me today. Well, 194 00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:56,360 Speaker 4: so if you if you take the cork out really 195 00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:58,920 Speaker 4: fast because of the gas that's trapped in the bottle, 196 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:02,199 Speaker 4: you will lose wine. 197 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:06,440 Speaker 1: That's what they call pop and bottles. That was good. 198 00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:09,760 Speaker 1: That was pretty muffled. That was not a big, you know, 199 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:10,800 Speaker 1: explosive pop. 200 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:15,640 Speaker 4: All right, So we have a traditional champagne flute to 201 00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:19,240 Speaker 4: pour this into. The reason that you have a fluted 202 00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,480 Speaker 4: stem is so that you can see the beautiful stream 203 00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:26,640 Speaker 4: of bubbles. If you have it in a bowl shape, 204 00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:30,080 Speaker 4: which is also fine, you just don't really see that 205 00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:35,240 Speaker 4: that stream that gives you that sense of something exceptional 206 00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:38,480 Speaker 4: is about to happen, right, We're about to celebrate Let's 207 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:39,400 Speaker 4: be honest, it's. 208 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:42,400 Speaker 2: Not as fun drinking sparkling wine out of a regular 209 00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:43,000 Speaker 2: wine glass. 210 00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:45,680 Speaker 4: For me, it's not, but you know a lot of 211 00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:46,960 Speaker 4: people like to do that. 212 00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:50,880 Speaker 3: And you're pouring it sideways so the bubbles catch the 213 00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:51,640 Speaker 3: side of the glass. 214 00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:56,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, and just to sort of control the movement a 215 00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 4: little bit so that you know, it doesn't go spilling 216 00:11:59,160 --> 00:11:59,960 Speaker 4: out over the top. 217 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:04,600 Speaker 3: Ye, I feel like we need a cheers, sure, okay 218 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:06,520 Speaker 3: to a drop of sunshine to. 219 00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:08,640 Speaker 4: The bright side and a drop of sunshine. 220 00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:13,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, amazing. So I love this sparkling rose, don't you. 221 00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:14,720 Speaker 1: It's so good. 222 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:22,920 Speaker 4: I think that it's it's beautiful in its versatility. You 223 00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:26,080 Speaker 4: can pair this wine with just about anything, but you 224 00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:29,560 Speaker 4: can drink it on its own. And I think the 225 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:35,240 Speaker 4: color it's like this pale, sort of delicate, almost salmon 226 00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:39,240 Speaker 4: pink is what we call it. And it's just a 227 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:41,480 Speaker 4: beautiful color. I think you can see the stream of 228 00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:43,640 Speaker 4: bubbles happening there. 229 00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:46,880 Speaker 3: And does the color come from the contact with the 230 00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,600 Speaker 3: grape skins. It sure does, because this is a bit 231 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,000 Speaker 3: deeper than a usual rose. 232 00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:53,600 Speaker 1: I actually I think it's white, prettier. 233 00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, it is deeper, but it's you know, on the 234 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:04,600 Speaker 4: deep spec it's actually not quite as deep and interesting. 235 00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:07,160 Speaker 4: I think that back in the day, you know, we 236 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:10,520 Speaker 4: used to think that color was a sign of high 237 00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:14,040 Speaker 4: quality and intensity in a wine, and that is definitely 238 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:19,720 Speaker 4: not the case. This achieves. It's very soft pink color through. Yes, 239 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:22,760 Speaker 4: just like you said, when we pick the grapes, red 240 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:26,319 Speaker 4: grapes so predominantly pean and no water here, when we 241 00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:30,240 Speaker 4: macerate the skins with the juice for a very short time, 242 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:34,160 Speaker 4: we get that delicate pink color. Now, I think what 243 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:38,280 Speaker 4: is so great about this wine is because you're pressing 244 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:42,559 Speaker 4: the skins right off the juice at a very early stage, 245 00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:47,400 Speaker 4: the aromas are a lot more delicate than of wine 246 00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:50,960 Speaker 4: that sees a full alcoholic fermentation. So you get these 247 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:56,280 Speaker 4: really bright, sort of gentle citrus notes. Some strawberry I 248 00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:59,240 Speaker 4: always get on this wine, like a hint of watermelon, 249 00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:02,760 Speaker 4: but not like super ripe watermelons, right, that sort of 250 00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:05,480 Speaker 4: sweet note on the nose. 251 00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:09,000 Speaker 3: You can actually smell the fruitiness more than you can 252 00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:11,960 Speaker 3: taste it. I would say, exactly, Yeah, I love this. 253 00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:13,560 Speaker 3: You can smell the watermelon. 254 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:13,960 Speaker 1: You can't. 255 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:17,200 Speaker 4: I can't really taste the watermelon when I was growing up, 256 00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:20,120 Speaker 4: people only drank champagne on New Year's Eve? Right, or 257 00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:20,960 Speaker 4: sparkling wine. 258 00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:23,400 Speaker 3: Oh, it's good for every holiday, and it's good for 259 00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:26,360 Speaker 3: it's Christmas, New Year's It's gone. 260 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:27,840 Speaker 1: Every day, right. 261 00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:30,640 Speaker 2: I mean this feels like a charcuterie wine to me, 262 00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:33,840 Speaker 2: Like it's perfect to pair with the charcuterie board and 263 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:34,920 Speaker 2: some fresh berries. 264 00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:43,200 Speaker 4: Absolutely, any salty snacks, fried foods are perfect with the 265 00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:46,480 Speaker 4: bubbles and the and the sparkling wine. 266 00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:49,480 Speaker 1: So salty foods salty? Why salty? 267 00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:54,080 Speaker 4: Because salt will bring out the sweetness and the sweetness 268 00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:59,240 Speaker 4: will tame the salt, so they work together. Also, fried 269 00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:02,240 Speaker 4: foods tend to be a little higher in fat, so 270 00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:05,680 Speaker 4: when you have bubbles and acidity, it can help to 271 00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:09,760 Speaker 4: really cut through that and help you digest it better 272 00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:11,000 Speaker 4: and just makes it taste better. 273 00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:15,840 Speaker 2: I love that we're drinking California sparkling rose. I'm curious 274 00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:19,160 Speaker 2: about the difference between how sparkling rose is made here 275 00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:20,600 Speaker 2: versus champagne. 276 00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,280 Speaker 1: Is it truly you know? 277 00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:26,720 Speaker 2: I know that can't be called champagne outside of champagne France? 278 00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:30,400 Speaker 2: Is that the only distinguishing factor what separates sparkling rose 279 00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:33,200 Speaker 2: made here from champagne, so. 280 00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:38,520 Speaker 4: Many things, but I will say right in California, we 281 00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:43,560 Speaker 4: are blessed right, everything grows here. We've got plenty of sunshine. 282 00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:47,080 Speaker 4: Our fruit tends to get a little bit riper. If 283 00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:51,480 Speaker 4: you look at where champagne is located northern France, very 284 00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:57,280 Speaker 4: cold winters, very continental climate versus here, you know, the 285 00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:02,400 Speaker 4: aromatics and the fruit profile of champagnes are much more subtle, 286 00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:06,920 Speaker 4: and so they developed the process of turning wine into 287 00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:10,600 Speaker 4: champagne to make it palatable because it's so cold there. 288 00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:13,160 Speaker 4: So we don't have those challenges. And so what I 289 00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:17,960 Speaker 4: think we get in our sparkling rose from California is 290 00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:21,320 Speaker 4: that extra bit of warmth and ripeness in the fruit profile. 291 00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:23,000 Speaker 1: Does that make sense totally? 292 00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:26,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, we need to take a short break, but don't 293 00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:28,960 Speaker 3: go anywhere. We will get back to our holiday happy 294 00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:43,360 Speaker 3: hour in just a moment, and we're back with Gillian balance. Well, 295 00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:45,760 Speaker 3: we have the chardonnay right in front of us, we do, 296 00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:49,040 Speaker 3: so let's pour that up please, Okay. 297 00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:51,600 Speaker 2: So what I think is so interesting about shardonnay is 298 00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:54,680 Speaker 2: I remember it having a moment in the nineties and 299 00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:57,000 Speaker 2: then it kind of fell out of favor with the public, 300 00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:59,000 Speaker 2: but it seems like it's making a huge comeback. 301 00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:02,880 Speaker 4: Still is the number one planted varietal in the world 302 00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:06,600 Speaker 4: white wine varietal, and is still the number one white 303 00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:10,800 Speaker 4: wine consumed in the world. And I think that there 304 00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:15,800 Speaker 4: are some some reasons for that, one being that. 305 00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:17,760 Speaker 1: It's pretty easy to grow. 306 00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:23,399 Speaker 4: You can grow shardnay in a very broad range of climates, 307 00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:27,719 Speaker 4: okay and soil types. Whereas other varietals are much more picky, 308 00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:32,240 Speaker 4: shardnay is not as picky. You can also kind of 309 00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:34,560 Speaker 4: this sounds this might not be the right word, but 310 00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:38,480 Speaker 4: manipulate chardnay on its own. It's a pretty neutral varietal. 311 00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:42,919 Speaker 4: So it's up to the wine maker on whether we 312 00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:45,679 Speaker 4: want to ferment this in oak right and give it 313 00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:49,640 Speaker 4: a big, oaky, toasty characteristic, whether we want to put 314 00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:52,760 Speaker 4: it through a secondary fermentation called malalactic. Not to sound 315 00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:56,480 Speaker 4: too geeky, but where you're turning the tart acid into 316 00:17:56,520 --> 00:18:02,000 Speaker 4: a creamier or lactic acid. Byproduct of that is diacetyl, 317 00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:05,840 Speaker 4: which is butter. Right, So you can make a style 318 00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:09,439 Speaker 4: that is big, huge, oaky, buttery, or you can go 319 00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:12,639 Speaker 4: in the extreme opposite direction and make it in a 320 00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:16,960 Speaker 4: very lean sort of crisp way also, so it can 321 00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:20,520 Speaker 4: mutate into so many different styles, but it's just the 322 00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:25,119 Speaker 4: same grape variety. Now, with this wine, we opted out 323 00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:27,879 Speaker 4: of the big, oaky buttery characteristic. 324 00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:30,200 Speaker 1: It's really subtle. It's very subtle. 325 00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:34,959 Speaker 4: We wanted ripe fruit, right because it's California, so we 326 00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,919 Speaker 4: need some citrus fruit. We need some golden, delicious apple, 327 00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:41,720 Speaker 4: and there are some melon characteristics, but we didn't want 328 00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,520 Speaker 4: to mask it with a lot of oak. And I 329 00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:50,359 Speaker 4: think that women can appreciate that. They appreciate sort of 330 00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:52,800 Speaker 4: the lighter, crisp profile. 331 00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:56,600 Speaker 1: I hope. So most started drinking without me list here 332 00:18:58,160 --> 00:18:59,800 Speaker 1: and you looked her in the eye, which was good. 333 00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:01,760 Speaker 1: I did take a seat. I'm not trying to have 334 00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:02,320 Speaker 1: bad sex. 335 00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:06,360 Speaker 2: For seven years, I forgot you are the wo wou friend. 336 00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:08,640 Speaker 1: I I. 337 00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:10,680 Speaker 2: There was such a big smile on my face when 338 00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:12,760 Speaker 2: I took a sip of this, because I normally don't 339 00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:13,520 Speaker 2: like shardonnay. 340 00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:15,480 Speaker 1: Normally it's too much, you. 341 00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:18,440 Speaker 2: Know, it's too overpowering. 342 00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:21,080 Speaker 1: This is delicious. It's delicious, No, it really is. This 343 00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:22,919 Speaker 1: is great. It's delicious to me. 344 00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:26,160 Speaker 4: This is a This is a white wine that if 345 00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:31,000 Speaker 4: you like pinot grigio, yes, or you like exactly yes, 346 00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:35,240 Speaker 4: or you like shardonay' you will like this style. 347 00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:37,760 Speaker 1: They all get along like they all are kind of 348 00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:38,560 Speaker 1: in conversation. 349 00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:42,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, so, I've always heard that white wine best pairs 350 00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:47,080 Speaker 3: with poultry or fish. In thinking about holiday meals, What 351 00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:49,159 Speaker 3: do you recommend we pair this chardonnay. 352 00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:54,640 Speaker 4: With because this does not have a very buttery, toasty, 353 00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:59,959 Speaker 4: oaky profile, right, I think that you can pare them 354 00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:07,119 Speaker 4: with things like Kisha's. Certainly young fresh cheeses like a 355 00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:09,600 Speaker 4: goat cheese salad would be perfect with us. 356 00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:11,000 Speaker 1: Some apples ridiculous. 357 00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:15,640 Speaker 4: Some apples, yeah, exactly apples, and maybe some toasted nuts 358 00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:17,440 Speaker 4: or almonds or something like that. 359 00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:22,240 Speaker 1: Even thinking some sushi would be nice. Sushi would be great. 360 00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:25,520 Speaker 4: So one of my great mentors, she was one of 361 00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:29,119 Speaker 4: the first female master so ways in the world, and 362 00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:30,600 Speaker 4: I got to work with her at Windows on the 363 00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:33,639 Speaker 4: World in New York City in the World Trade Center, 364 00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:37,239 Speaker 4: and she always told me that a good sign of 365 00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:44,399 Speaker 4: wine quality is to taste the wine and time it, like, 366 00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:47,400 Speaker 4: look at your watch, right, I would say we tasted 367 00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:51,800 Speaker 4: this chardonnay at least two minutes ago. I still have 368 00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:55,920 Speaker 4: the flavors resonating on my palate, and they're not just resonating, 369 00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:59,280 Speaker 4: they're kind of broadening, right, And so that's always the 370 00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:02,199 Speaker 4: sign of a good quality wine is something that doesn't 371 00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:05,040 Speaker 4: just you taste it and it just immediately fades away. 372 00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:06,960 Speaker 1: That's a good right, Yeah. 373 00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:09,359 Speaker 3: So the sign of a good quality wine is that 374 00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:12,040 Speaker 3: it resonates on your tongue in your mouth. 375 00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:15,640 Speaker 4: One of them, one of them that you even retro nasally, 376 00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:18,040 Speaker 4: can still taste the wine minutes. 377 00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:23,320 Speaker 1: After you've tasted it. So retro nasally, I do feel 378 00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:25,919 Speaker 1: it retro nasally. No, it's like in the back of 379 00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:28,720 Speaker 1: my throat slash nose. I get what you mean by that. 380 00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:30,600 Speaker 4: When you blow through your nose you're like, oh, yeah, 381 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:33,800 Speaker 4: I'm still getting those you know. I mean, it's no mystery. 382 00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:36,440 Speaker 4: Right when we all have a cold, Yeah, you can't 383 00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:40,240 Speaker 4: taste wine. You can taste the alcohol, but it's because 384 00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:45,000 Speaker 4: your old factory nerves are blocked and you're not getting 385 00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:45,920 Speaker 4: the aromas. 386 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:49,760 Speaker 1: And wine is eighty five percent aroma. 387 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:54,640 Speaker 2: So okay, finally we have a red blend from drop 388 00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:55,760 Speaker 2: of Sunshine to try. 389 00:21:55,920 --> 00:22:01,119 Speaker 4: Yeah, so you know, all most wines blends, even if 390 00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:04,560 Speaker 4: they're single variety listed on a label. You know, in 391 00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:08,680 Speaker 4: the United States, to varietally label a wine, you only 392 00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:12,440 Speaker 4: have to have seventy five percent of that variety to 393 00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:15,080 Speaker 4: state it on the label. And so we wanted to 394 00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:20,920 Speaker 4: create something that was fun to drink right on the 395 00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:26,440 Speaker 4: certainly on the lighter side in terms of tannin. Right, 396 00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:30,720 Speaker 4: Tannin's come from the skins of the grapes. Some grapes 397 00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:33,560 Speaker 4: have a lot more tannin than others. Tannin is that 398 00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:36,840 Speaker 4: really drying effect that takes place in your mouth when 399 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:40,480 Speaker 4: you set red wine. We wanted to kind of dial 400 00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:43,119 Speaker 4: that back a little bit and make this really just 401 00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:46,640 Speaker 4: a more fun, kind of easy drinking, almost a red 402 00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:48,560 Speaker 4: wine that you might want to put a little bit 403 00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:52,720 Speaker 4: of a chill on right before you before you have it. 404 00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:55,040 Speaker 3: But okay, I'm going to tell you something that is 405 00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:57,400 Speaker 3: sacrilegious to a masters some way. 406 00:22:57,840 --> 00:22:59,239 Speaker 1: There's no way. 407 00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:02,360 Speaker 4: I don't I bear by the way, there's no such thing. 408 00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:05,280 Speaker 1: There's no such thing. Embarrass me. 409 00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:09,720 Speaker 3: Well, she said chilled, which made me think of how 410 00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:14,240 Speaker 3: I best prefer my wine, which is with ice in it. 411 00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:17,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, I love a pissine. Yeah, no problem. 412 00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:24,440 Speaker 3: You know you're not upset about that, not at all, really, Simone. 413 00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:27,520 Speaker 1: The masters. I'm happy for you, Danielle. 414 00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:31,040 Speaker 4: I mean, wine is like ninety percent water, ninety five 415 00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:35,280 Speaker 4: percent water. So if you're encouraged, I mean what you 416 00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:37,560 Speaker 4: what what I would do if it was a really 417 00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:40,600 Speaker 4: like expensive bottle of wine and I didn't want the 418 00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:44,119 Speaker 4: ice to dilute the flavor, I might do those cubes 419 00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:47,840 Speaker 4: that don't melt. Yes, you know, smart, but but yeah, 420 00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:48,440 Speaker 4: I mean. 421 00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:51,320 Speaker 1: To have right call, I forget cubes that don't melt. 422 00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:53,800 Speaker 1: How about you stick your bottle in the fridge like 423 00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:56,800 Speaker 1: a normal person. I actually put in the freezer sometimes. Yeah, 424 00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:58,760 Speaker 1: if you need it to like do an instant chill. 425 00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:01,879 Speaker 4: Well, and that's dangerous because then youop and set a 426 00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:04,960 Speaker 4: timer if you do that, because you don't want frozen wine. 427 00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:05,840 Speaker 1: Got it right? 428 00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:09,560 Speaker 4: And you go off and you do other things. You 429 00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:12,360 Speaker 4: probably answer a thousand emails and you go back and you're. 430 00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:15,080 Speaker 3: Like, oh, no, it exploded. It's happened to me. I know, 431 00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:18,160 Speaker 3: but yeah last week, Yeah stile it camus. 432 00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:22,720 Speaker 2: Boom, seventy dollars down the drain. Yeah, okay, okay, So 433 00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:26,440 Speaker 2: I love that this red is a bit lighter because 434 00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:30,160 Speaker 2: I love chilling, lighter reds. 435 00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:32,880 Speaker 1: What kind of holiday meals would you pair this with? 436 00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:33,560 Speaker 2: So? 437 00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:36,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean right, all the holidays are coming up. 438 00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:42,600 Speaker 4: I love Thanksgiving because it doesn't involve gift giving or anything. 439 00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:47,400 Speaker 4: It's just about being thankful for your family and friends. 440 00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:53,159 Speaker 4: And I also think with like roasted turkey, cranberry sauce, 441 00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:56,560 Speaker 4: all of the different flavors, you don't really want a 442 00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:59,720 Speaker 4: huge red wine, you know, you want something that's a 443 00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:04,560 Speaker 4: little bit more subtle. I mean, you know, Christmas celebrations, 444 00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:09,679 Speaker 4: every every kind of of celebration. I think you know 445 00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:13,280 Speaker 4: where you have a lot of different foods, it's always 446 00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:16,320 Speaker 4: good to have a wine on the lighter side. Yea 447 00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:22,440 Speaker 4: peanut noir, right, dulchettou boujelat this red blend, just think 448 00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:25,560 Speaker 4: of the lighter you know, fresh lively fruit. 449 00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:29,240 Speaker 3: In thinking about this red blend, can you describe the 450 00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:30,560 Speaker 3: palette for all of us? 451 00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:33,600 Speaker 1: Sure? Here? What do you get on the nose? 452 00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:33,840 Speaker 5: Right? 453 00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:38,119 Speaker 4: Like I always so with red wines, You're always gonna 454 00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:41,760 Speaker 4: get sort of red or dark fruit characters, whether it's BlackBerry, 455 00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:45,720 Speaker 4: black cherry, plum, or red cherry. For me, I get 456 00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:49,159 Speaker 4: a lot of like red fruits almost even sort of 457 00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:56,119 Speaker 4: a slight cranberry note and cherry cranberry. There is also 458 00:25:56,320 --> 00:26:01,719 Speaker 4: some really nice you know, is made up of a 459 00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:07,720 Speaker 4: lot of different aromatic compounds that are just molecules that 460 00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:10,320 Speaker 4: are found in everything that grows in nature, and the 461 00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:14,240 Speaker 4: process of fermentation can bring those out in a wine. 462 00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:16,119 Speaker 4: So when we say there's cherry in this wine, it 463 00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:18,800 Speaker 4: doesn't mean that we put cherries into the wine. It 464 00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:21,360 Speaker 4: means that it has the exact same sort of chemical 465 00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:24,840 Speaker 4: compounds that are found in cherries are found in certain 466 00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:29,040 Speaker 4: grape varieties. So you know, knowing a little bit about 467 00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:33,840 Speaker 4: the molecular structure, not to get too nerdy about specific 468 00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:37,040 Speaker 4: grape varieties, can help you understand why and where these 469 00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:38,040 Speaker 4: flavors come from. 470 00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:41,320 Speaker 2: I am picking up the black cherry, the dark cherry 471 00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:45,199 Speaker 2: for sure. Also a bit of cocoa, yeah, yeah, a 472 00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:47,639 Speaker 2: bit of chocolatey flavor. M h. 473 00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:52,120 Speaker 3: So, because this tastes a bit different from a regular 474 00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:56,360 Speaker 3: red wine, would you recommend this for somebody who normally 475 00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:58,120 Speaker 3: isn't a red wine drinker. 476 00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:02,040 Speaker 4: Absolutely, It's lighter, Like I said, it doesn't have the 477 00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:05,119 Speaker 4: same drying tannins that you get out of say a 478 00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:10,360 Speaker 4: cabernet Sauvignon and so yeah, I would definitely start somebody 479 00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:11,240 Speaker 4: on something like this. 480 00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:14,480 Speaker 2: Well, Jillian, this has been a dream. I wish you 481 00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:15,960 Speaker 2: could just hang out with us all the time and 482 00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,040 Speaker 2: tell us what we're drinking.

Then 537 00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:02,520 Speaker 5: I do some research and realize it won't. I always 538 00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:05,640 Speaker 5: put together my own business plan just for myself. Yeah, 539 00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:09,320 Speaker 5: and that helps me figure out, Okay, here's what's possible, 540 00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:12,200 Speaker 5: here's what this person did, here's what's comparable, and then 541 00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:13,000 Speaker 5: I go from there. 542 00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:17,959 Speaker 3: Angela, you do so much in New York in your community, 543 00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:21,160 Speaker 3: like the coffee shop you opened. How does your community 544 00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:25,280 Speaker 3: inform the work that you do and the entrepreneurial ventures 545 00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:25,920 Speaker 3: that you take on. 546 00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:29,000 Speaker 5: I'm from Brooklyn, so I love being able to do 547 00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:31,200 Speaker 5: stuff where I'm from. It's not anything that I ever 548 00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:33,960 Speaker 5: could have envisioned for me. A lot of the decisions 549 00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:35,800 Speaker 5: that I make is like, Okay, I live here, but 550 00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:37,560 Speaker 5: I also know it's a great investment to live here 551 00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:40,200 Speaker 5: because I see where Brooklyn is going. I have a 552 00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:42,960 Speaker 5: business here. The first business I did was a juice bar, 553 00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:45,440 Speaker 5: and I did that because I could not find a 554 00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:47,880 Speaker 5: healthy juice bar in my neighborhood. And I know that 555 00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:50,680 Speaker 5: because I felt that other people did too. And so 556 00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:53,280 Speaker 5: when we did do the juice bar, being able to 557 00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:56,240 Speaker 5: educate people on you know, why wheat grass is good 558 00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:58,520 Speaker 5: for you, or if you get sick, we have a 559 00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:00,480 Speaker 5: cold remedy that can help you with that. Well, what 560 00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:03,840 Speaker 5: is this fruit investable good for? And so I was 561 00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:06,840 Speaker 5: passionate about that and doing that someplace where I'm from. 562 00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:09,600 Speaker 3: Well, it works because it comes from your heart. Yeah, 563 00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:11,160 Speaker 3: you know, like you could tell. 564 00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:14,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's so clear how hard you go for your community. 565 00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:18,440 Speaker 2: Which one of your businesses has brought you the greatest 566 00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:19,440 Speaker 2: learning curve? 567 00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:23,440 Speaker 5: I would say, for sure real estate. This all started 568 00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:26,120 Speaker 5: with me buying my first property. And the first property 569 00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:29,000 Speaker 5: I bought was a two family brownstone in Brooklyn. And 570 00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:31,760 Speaker 5: once I did, I learned so much just from going 571 00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:34,120 Speaker 5: through it, it just made me say, Okay, the stability 572 00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:36,200 Speaker 5: that I have. I'm in a home. It's a two 573 00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:39,520 Speaker 5: family home. The rent downstairs helps pay the mortgage. I 574 00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:42,320 Speaker 5: feel like I can now spend a little more money 575 00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:44,480 Speaker 5: and not have to be concerned because one of my 576 00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:47,800 Speaker 5: main things New York is expensive, is will I ever 577 00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:50,000 Speaker 5: be able to retire and still have a place to live? 578 00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:52,360 Speaker 5: And so once I feel comfortable in that, then I 579 00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:54,800 Speaker 5: felt like, Okay, it's okay for me to start investing 580 00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:57,840 Speaker 5: because I know I have this as my backup. So 581 00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:00,920 Speaker 5: after investing in a few different things, I was like, 582 00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:02,960 Speaker 5: let me go ahead and get my real estate license. 583 00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:08,160 Speaker 5: But I've learned so much about interior design, about contracting, 584 00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:10,960 Speaker 5: you know, just every little thing, and a lot of 585 00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:13,160 Speaker 5: the houses. The first house I did when I bought it, 586 00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:15,840 Speaker 5: it was fully gutted, and so I was able to 587 00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:19,040 Speaker 5: watch the whole process of them putting down the floors, 588 00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:23,440 Speaker 5: putting up the walls, choosing the kitchen appliances. All of 589 00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:25,600 Speaker 5: those things were things that I learned, and so it 590 00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:28,800 Speaker 5: was fascinating to me because there's so many different aspects. 591 00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:32,120 Speaker 5: And now I've bought my first ever thirty unit building 592 00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:35,920 Speaker 5: in midtown Detroit, and that was like such a journey 593 00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:39,000 Speaker 5: and a lot of times there's mistakes that you make, 594 00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:41,800 Speaker 5: but that's all part of the education of learning how 595 00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:44,240 Speaker 5: to do things better. And then it's nice to be 596 00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:46,320 Speaker 5: able to learn these things so I can also help 597 00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:47,320 Speaker 5: other people learn them. 598 00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:51,120 Speaker 2: Well, Angela, we have something major in common.
