In Episode 39 of the Mr. Wine Guy Podcast I had the privilege of sitting down with Karen Crouse, Owner and Vintner of Mount Veeder Magic Vineyards out of the Mount Veeder AVA of Napa Valley. In this episode Karen talks about a unique service she provides where she helps clients create their own custom wine.  Within this service clients purchase the wine, bottles, labels, capsules, and corks through Karen's personable, consultative services. This gives her clients an opportunity to create a wine that represents them and everything they stand for, and also gives them an opportunity to live vicariously through the eyes of a Vintner. Karen talks about Jeff Fontanella and what it means to have him on board as winemaker and Jeff's ability to craft incredible mountain driven wines such as hers. Karen also talks about what it's like to be a board member for the Mount Veeder AVA council and what it means to help spread the word and support local vintners within her community. With everyhing being said, the one thing you're going to LOVE more than anything in this podcast is Karen's personality and charisma throughout the entire interview.  Karen is such an incredible human being and it won't take you long to love and appreciate her just as much as everyone else does.  So sit back, relax, and get ready, because you are going to love this episode.

Norwich is a book about community, about parenting, and how to go about helping kids become fully-developed people who are well positioned to lead happy, healthy lives.Karen and I also discuss the current state of the Olympic Games, since Karen has been to and has covered a bunch of them and will be at the Olympics again next month, and she and I talk about how her time spent with all-time achievers like Michael Phelps and Tiger Woods has informed her thoughts on the price of greatness.TOPICS & TIMES:How do you sum up what this book is about?
