Vignoles is a moderately cold-hearty grape. It produces a dry to off-dry white wine, and can also make a sweet late-harvest dessert wine. It is a fruity wine known for having high levels of sugar and acid. New York is the best-known region for Vignoles. The wine is also common in the Midwest, Missouri, Iowa, and Illinois.LaCrescent is a German-type wine grape that produces off-dry to sweet wines. Tonight, we are enjoying two white wines including:2022 Madison County Winery Vignoles. This wine was purchased at the winery. It is a dry white, blended with La Crescent. It is unoaked and has subtle notes of tropical fruit and citrus. They call it a medium-bodied wine, very aromatic, with bright acidity. It is 67% Vignoles and 33% LaCrescent. 12.2% alcohol. 2022 Stone Hill Winery Reserve Vignoles. Purchased at the winery for $20.00. The reserve wine selects the best of the grapes and is sur-lie aged to give it a rich full-body. It has aromas of pineapple, stone fruit, honeycomb, baking spice, and candied orange. Pair with salad, seafood, poultry, or pasta with cream sauce. 14.5% alcohol.These wines were very different, but we enjoyed both for different reasons. The Stone Hill was our favorite and received a 4 rating from both of us. The Madison County is more of a summer sipper. Denise gave this wine a 4 and I rated it a 3.Next week we will taste three wines from different Italian regions. We will learn about the different wine regions of Italy and also the different wine varieties.

Directed by Clint Eastwood Written by Richard LaGravenese Starring Meryl Streep, Clint Eastwood Release Date June 2nd, 1995 My written review of The Bridges of Madison County https://shorturl.at/FCmiE The Bridges of Madison County is a 1992 best-selling romance novel by American writer Robert James Waller. It tells the story of an Italian-American World War II war bride living on a farm in 1960s Madison County, Iowa. Madison County is known for having the largest group of covered bridges in one area west of the Mississippi River, which are historically significant and were added to the National Register of Historic Places. The novel was later adapted into a film featuring Meryl Streep and Clint Eastwood, set in 1965 and centered around the love story between Francesca Johnson and National Geographic photojournalist Robert Kincaid.

Thirty years ago, Clint Eastwood topped the box office with two all-timers: The Bridges of Madison County and Casper. To mark the anniversary, co-hosts Michael Roffman, McKenzie Gerber, and Adam Carston are skipping the spirits and opting for American Spirits ... and a couple 7Ups, one or two candlelit suppers, and one good ol' American romance down in Iowa.

On the third episode of Heavy Hitters, hosted by Clay Edwards on 103.9 FM WYAB, the spotlight was on Dr. Spencer Mills, a multifaceted entrepreneur whose diverse ventures embody the spirit of "outlaw entrepreneurship." Broadcasting live from the Men's Health and Women's Wellness Studio in Mississippi and streaming across platforms like Facebook, X, YouTube, and Rumble, the show delved into Mills' inspiring journey, his passions, and his definition of success. The episode, aired on May 19, 2025, offered listeners an engaging conversation filled with stories of cars, veterinary medicine, documentary filmmaking, and entrepreneurial grit.   Clay Edwards opened the show by introducing Mills, a veterinarian, custom car shop owner, and documentary filmmaker whose eclectic pursuits inspired the creation of Heavy Hitters. Edwards recounted how he first met Mills while making cold calls to sell radio ads. Intrigued by Mills' reputation at Gangster Garage, a custom car shop in Gluckstadt, Edwards popped in to check it out. The two hit it off, bonding over their shared love for cars, culture, and storytelling. This chance encounter led to Mills' appearance on the show, where his dynamic personality and diverse ventures took center stage.   Mills, a 36-year-old Jackson native, shared his path to becoming a veterinarian. Growing up on the north side of Jackson and attending Jackson Academy, he initially pursued a pre-med track at Ole Miss, driven by a childhood dream of owning a Lamborghini—a goal his parents tied to becoming a doctor. However, during his junior year, Mills began working at a veterinary clinic and discovered a passion for animal medicine. The excitement of going to work each morning signaled he was on the right path. He switched gears, applied to veterinary school at Mississippi State University, and graduated with a doctorate, albeit with significant student debt and a modest starting salary.   After vet school, Mills worked under mentor Dr. Dale Wilson at Mansfield Animal Clinic, where he was thrust into responsibility early on, managing the clinic solo within months of graduating. He also launched Mills Mobile Vet, a concierge house-call service, showcasing his entrepreneurial spirit. Recognizing a gap in after-hours pet care in Madison County, Mills and Wilson opened UrgiVet, an emergency veterinary clinic off Highway 51 in Madison. Now five years strong, UrgiVet has become a vital resource, drawing clients from the Delta, North Mississippi, and beyond, despite minimal advertising until recently partnering with Edwards' show for brand recognition. Mills' ventures extend far beyond veterinary medicine. At Gangster Garage, he oversees a boutique custom car and motorcycle shop that tackles unique, high-end projects, from exotic cars like Lamborghinis and Ferraris to family heirlooms like a 1963 classic with just 4,000 miles. The shop specializes in detailed builds, paint correction, ceramic coating, and collaborations with local partners for powder coating, tinting, and wraps. Mills described Gangster Garage as a “southern West Coast Customs,” emphasizing quality over quantity and a willingness to handle projects others shy away from. His personal fleet, including a 700-horsepower Ford Raptor and a V8 Hummer H3, reflects his lifelong love for cars, sparked by that childhood Lamborghini dream. While he's owned a Lamborghini in the past, Mills now focuses on vehicles that bring him joy, like his Raptor, which he calls a tangible reward for his hard work.   The conversation took an unexpected turn as Mills revealed his foray into documentary filmmaking through 13th South Productions. His entry into the industry came through a connection who needed custom cars built for a movie. This led to a partnership with a seasoned filmmaker who saw Mills' potential and invited him to work on a feature film shot in Canton, Madison, and the Mississippi coast. Within three years, Mills climbed the ranks to producer—a rare feat in an industry where such roles often take decades to achieve. His documentary work includes Little Brother of War, which explores the Choctaw game of stickball, a culturally significant sport akin to NFL-level passion for the tribe. Filmed at the Choctaw Fair, the project is nearing a streaming deal with major networks. Mills is also wrapping up Seize the South, a documentary on Mississippi's medical cannabis industry, featuring interviews with patients, doctors, lawmakers, and celebrities like Cheech and Chong, Jim Belushi, Mike Tyson, Willie Nelson, and soon Ric Flair, whom Mills will interview on June 13, 2025, at Southern Sky Brands' Pearl dispensary.   Throughout the episode, Edwards and Mills explored the theme of outlaw entrepreneurship—blazing one's own path to success. Mills' ventures, from UrgiVet to Gangster Garage to filmmaking, are fueled by his passions for animals, cars, and storytelling. He emphasized the importance of networking, noting how connections opened doors to his film career and other ventures, including a forthcoming gun and ammunition business, which they didn't have time to fully discuss.   When asked to define success, Mills offered a heartfelt response: it's about doing what you love, making a living from it, and finding fulfillment in the impact you have on others. For him, success is saving a pet on the brink of death and witnessing the owner's relief, or building a custom car that brings joy to a client. It's about waking up excited to work and leaving a positive mark, whether through a saved animal or a story told on screen. Reflecting on his journey, Mills admitted to moments of realization—like seeing his Raptor in a window's reflection and remembering the struggles of vet school debt—where he acknowledges how far he's come.   For those struggling to find their spark, Mills' advice was simple yet profound: pursue what excites you. Find something that makes you eager to get up each morning, and don't be afraid to take risks or pivot from a stable but unfulfilling path. His own leap from pre-med to veterinary medicine, and later into cars and film, exemplifies this mindset.  

Tune in for a jam-packed Best of the Week episode of the Clay Edwards Show, where we dive into the hottest topics, local controversies, and personal rants with unfiltered commentary! This week, we break down President Trump's bold executive order aiming to slash prescription drug prices by up to 80%—what does it mean for you? We also celebrate Jackson, Mississippi's 50% drop in homicides year-over-year and debate who deserves the credit for this turnaround.   Clay doesn't hold back as he tackles Jackson's so-called “lawless” culture, arguing residents have traded safety for chaos and now want their kids in Rankin or Madison County schools. He unpacks the risks of this move and the deeper issues tied to what he calls a “cancerous death culture.” Plus, we compare two local brawls: a gun-pulling fight at Clinton's Santa Fe Grill, where police made quick arrests, versus a chaotic Cinco de Mayo brawl at Jackson's Margarita's Mexican Grill, where Clay calls out JPD Chief Joseph Wade for not cracking down hard enough.   On a lighter note, Clay shares a hilarious rant about his name being mistaken for “Dwight” on to-go orders, and recounts a wild radio segment sparked by an Instagram algorithm gone wrong, linking a swingers party to the Diddy trial. He also opens up about his life-changing 4:30 AM wake-up routine, inspired by Cameron Haynes' new book Undeniable, and shares how it's already making waves in his life.   Clay reflects on a personal slight from the Mud Monsters, Jackson's new baseball team, who ghosted him after offering a first-pitch opportunity, and celebrates an exclusive interview with X5 podcast host Charlie Reece and rock legend Brett Scallions (formerly of FUEL) about their new country single, “Somewhere They'll Never Know.” Finally, Clay delivers a sobering warning about the quickest way to end up dead in Jackson.   Expect raw takes, local insights, and plenty of laughs in this can't-miss episode!

Gov. Bill Lee took time recently to visit with Woolfolk Farms in Madison County to help promote legislation he's proposing with his Farmland Conservation Act.

The Law of Lori Exoneration or Delusion Lori Vallow Daybell says she will be exonerated. Not maybe. Not possibly. She is certain. And she's saying this from behind bars, awaiting trial for the murder of her fourth husband, while her current husband sits on death row. If there's one thing Lori has always had, it's confidence—whether it's in her bizarre religious beliefs, her devotion to Chad Daybell, or her ability to deny reality even when it's staring her in the face. This week, she sat down with NBC's Keith Morrison for what's being described as an “extensive and often combative” interview. And if there's anyone who can handle combative, it's Keith Morrison. The full special is set to air on 'Dateline,' where Lori, dressed in an orange jumpsuit and purple handcuffs, tells the world exactly what she wants them to believe. She's going to be exonerated. Not only that—she's seen the future, and in that future, she and Chad are free. She claims Jesus himself showed her this vision when she was in heaven. Now, most people who claim to see heaven aren't sitting in a jail cell convicted of murdering their own children, but then again, Lori has never been like most people. Lori was sentenced to life in prison in 2023 for the murders of her two youngest children, 7-year-old JJ Vallow and 16-year-old Tylee Ryan, as well as for the murder of Chad Daybell's first wife, Tammy Daybell. The details of those crimes were horrifying—JJ and Tylee's bodies were found buried on Chad's Idaho property, their remains showing the unthinkable levels of brutality they endured. Tammy's death, originally ruled natural, was later determined to be a homicide. Chad was convicted of the same crimes. His fate, however, was different. In 2024, he was sentenced to death. The man Lori still refers to as her eternal husband is now waiting for his execution date while she sits in an Arizona jail, awaiting trial for yet another murder—that of her fourth husband, Charles Vallow. Charles had long suspected Lori's descent into religious extremism was dangerous. He tried to get help, to warn people. Then one day, in July 2019, he was shot dead by Lori's brother, Alex Cox, who conveniently died later that same year, taking any potential confessions with him. Lori, undeterred by any of this, is still talking. In the upcoming 'Dateline' special, she's not just giving her side—she's doubling down. It's not a confession, and it's certainly not remorse. It's Lori being Lori. Believing that no matter what happens, she's special. She's chosen. The rules don't apply to her. The special also features interviews with key figures in the case, including Rexburg police detective Ray Hermosillo, Madison County Sheriff Ron Ball, Madison County prosecutor Rob Wood, retired FBI agent Douglas Hart, and journalist Nate Eaton, who has covered the case from the beginning. But the voice that carries the most weight belongs to Lori's eldest son, Colby Ryan. Colby, the only surviving child of Lori's, has watched as the mother he once knew disappeared into a twisted world of doomsday prophecies and murder. And in his interview, he doesn't hold back. He describes how the way his sister was treated, even after her death, was so depraved it changed the way he sees people altogether. And he's right—because what happened to Tylee wasn't just a murder. It was something that defies humanity. This will be the seventh 'Dateline' episode dedicated to Lori and Chad, and if history is any indication, it won't be the last. The fascination with this case isn't just about crime—it's about belief. About how two people could convince themselves they were on some divine mission while leaving behind a trail of destruction. For those who still can't wrap their heads around how any of this happened, 'Dateline' might provide some answers—or at least another look into the mind of a woman who remains convinced she's destined for something greater than a prison cell. 'Law of the land' says she's guilty. 'Law of Lori' says she's getting out. #LoriVallowDaybell #Dateline #TrueCrime #ChadDaybell Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Lori Vallow Daybell says she will be exonerated. Not maybe. Not possibly. She is certain. And she's saying this from behind bars, awaiting trial for the murder of her fourth husband, while her current husband sits on death row. If there's one thing Lori has always had, it's confidence—whether it's in her bizarre religious beliefs, her devotion to Chad Daybell, or her ability to deny reality even when it's staring her in the face. This week, she sat down with NBC's Keith Morrison for what's being described as an “extensive and often combative” interview. And if there's anyone who can handle combative, it's Keith Morrison. The full special is set to air on 'Dateline,' where Lori, dressed in an orange jumpsuit and purple handcuffs, tells the world exactly what she wants them to believe. She's going to be exonerated. Not only that—she's seen the future, and in that future, she and Chad are free. She claims Jesus himself showed her this vision when she was in heaven. Now, most people who claim to see heaven aren't sitting in a jail cell convicted of murdering their own children, but then again, Lori has never been like most people. Lori was sentenced to life in prison in 2023 for the murders of her two youngest children, 7-year-old JJ Vallow and 16-year-old Tylee Ryan, as well as for the murder of Chad Daybell's first wife, Tammy Daybell. The details of those crimes were horrifying—JJ and Tylee's bodies were found buried on Chad's Idaho property, their remains showing the unthinkable levels of brutality they endured. Tammy's death, originally ruled natural, was later determined to be a homicide. Chad was convicted of the same crimes. His fate, however, was different. In 2024, he was sentenced to death. The man Lori still refers to as her eternal husband is now waiting for his execution date while she sits in an Arizona jail, awaiting trial for yet another murder—that of her fourth husband, Charles Vallow. Charles had long suspected Lori's descent into religious extremism was dangerous. He tried to get help, to warn people. Then one day, in July 2019, he was shot dead by Lori's brother, Alex Cox, who conveniently died later that same year, taking any potential confessions with him.

Judge Patty Demos is a highly respected jurist here in Madison County, Alabama.  She has served on the bench for about a decade, after a long career as a prosecutor with the Madison County District Attorney's Office.  Her main focus during her prosecution time was in the area of child abuse where she ultimately directed the Family Violence and Sexual Assault unit for the DA's office.   She and her husband, Joe, have 4 boys who all wrestled in their youth and in high school.  In fact, that is how I first met her since my three boys all wrestled for a rival high school.  I enjoyed getting to catch up with Judge Demos on this episode of the podcast and I hope you enjoy getting to know her story here!

An investigation by Illinois Answers into the use, misuse, and abuse of restraint chairs in Illinois county jails found that staff at the jail in Madison County, Illinois, restrained someone in a chair for more than 10 hours in at least 28 incidents from 2019 to 2023. Eight of those incidents exceeded 20 hours, despite the instructions from the chair's manufacturer recommending that detainees not be not be left in a chair for more than two hours. We meet the two reporters behind the investigation, Grace Hauck and Janelle O'Dea, and they discuss what they discovered about the jail's operations, what the people who suffered in restraints said about the experience, and why some extreme incidents were never reported to the state.

#234: Leading an Ethical School with Dr. Nason Lollar Description:Today's guest has developed a framework and language around professional conduct, which he defines as “my contribution to our culture of learning.” Cool. And what else is cool, is that you will hear, in slightly different terms, some of my core talking points around supporting and growing teachers, being present and listening, and, of course, working in quadrant 2 by managing your priorities, not your time. Guest Bio:Having served twenty-four years in the field of education, Dr. Nason Lollar has leveraged those experiences into his first book, The Five Principles of Educator Professionalism. Nason began his career in the classroom, serving as a high school math and social studies teacher and as a baseball coach for fourteen years. He then transitioned to administration, serving as a high school assistant principal for nine years. He currently serves as a principal of the Madison Career & Technical Center in Madison County, Mississippi. His journey as a student of Educational Leadership began with graduate work at Mississippi College, and culminated with a Doctorate of Education from William Carey University in 2018. In 2023, Nason was honored by the Mississippi Association of Secondary School Principals as state Assistant Principal of the Year.  Warmup questions:·      We always like to start with a celebration.

Democrats in St. Clair County in Illinois have previously enjoyed double-digit victories over their Republican opponents, but those margins of victory over the last three elections have crept into the single digits. STLPR Metro East reporter Will Bauer discusses his reporting on this topic.

Last week, we talked about the mystery regarding whether or not Deputy Blake Hassell ever went out to the area in Kingston where on August 5th at 12:34 AM, a 911 caller reported that she heard a woman screaming - that it sounded like she was being raped or tortured.  The dispatch report reads, "A caller advised she believes that she heard a woman in the woods behind her house yelling. Stated she believes at one point the woman screamed for help. Caller advised there is not a physical address but it is in area where a bunch of homeless people were camped out.”  We know that the caller waited all night for the Madison County's Sheriff's Office to respond, but no one ever came.  And that a few weeks later on September 9, Taylor Barksdale's remains were found just a few hundred feet from where that 911 call was placed. Her death was labeled a homicide. The Madison County Sheriff's Department said that only one deputy, Blake Hassell was working the overnight shift from August 4 to August 5. And Sheriff Ronnie Boyd said that Blake Hassell  told dispatch that he responded to the call when he didn't.  Later that same day, August 5 when his supervisor Sergeant Drew Scott questioned him, he said that he didn't respond to the call because he ‘had just been out to that area 30 minutes or an hour earlier.”  But is that true?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On September 9, 2024, searchers on a property in Madison County in the area of Kingston, Arkansas, broke open a hay bale and found a body.  Police have shared almost no information about this investigation. And while Sheriff Ronnie Boyd at the Madison County Sheriff's office has publicly denied this, some people in Madison County think this body was discovered while the police were searching for Jason Lierl.   We did several episodes about that case: 41-year-old Jason Lierl was going through a tough time. His 14-year relationship with his wife Jamaica had deteriorated and they were divorcing. Jason had had issues with drugs in the past and then sometime in the winter of 2022, it seems he relapsed. In January of 2022, Jason Lierl was visiting friends in Madison County. He was last seen at various residences in Huntsville and then...Jason disappeared. His abandoned car was found in the parking lot of a mall in Fayetteville, Arkansas.  His car keys, motorcycle and other belongings were found in different places, spread across Arkansas and Missouri, but to this day, no trace of Jason has ever been found. And some people a serial killer is on the loose.  If you have a case you'd like Catherine Townsend to look into, you can reach out to us at our Hell and Gone Murder Line at 678-744-6145.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
