A day late for this to be a "November" episode but play along? Elle has had SO much wine activity, from the RAW wine fair to Sicilian dinners to the event in homage to Gran Moraine where Elle both sourced this FABULOUS blanc de blancs from Oregon and met today's guest, Andrea Jaramillo, aka Mas Vino Please. Oohhh! And also there is a revival of On the Food Side where Elle weighs in on butter boards. Never not hard journalism-ing. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
