The Good Stuff – Zialena Winery

In this episode of The Good Stuff presented by the Sonoma County Winegrowers, hosts Virginie Boone and Karissa Kruse talk with Mark Mazzoni, Founder/Co-Owner, Winemaker, and Vineyard Manager of Zialena Winery. Mark's family has deep roots in Sonoma County: Giuseppe Mazzoni planted vineyards here in 1905. A traveling salesman asked to put up a billboard on the side of the family's barn, and you can still see the ad for "Dr. Pierce" on the side of the building. Mark learned about farming and taking care of grapes by working with his grandfather, and in 2012 he worked with his sister Lisa to co-found the current winery. Mark believes in hospitality and transparency - inviting visitors to drop by any time to experience Zialena, a winery with no gate to keep people out. Mark also likes to use concrete fermentation tanks, which give the finished wines a closer connection to the place they are made. Those visiting the winery can experience the beauty of the surroundings and experience the terroir in the glass. And finally, Virginie and Karissa share their Tuesday Night wine picks.

ROCK’nVINO – Chef Itamar Abramovitch of Blossom Catering and (M)Eat Carnival

During this episode of ROCK’nVINO, hosts Coco and Michelle talk with Chef Itamar Abramovitch of Blossom Catering and (M)Eat Carnival. Chef Itamar is focused on crafting experiences with his food, so he is always thinking about how to enhance a wine and food pairing to really make it pop and complement the wine. That passion extends to Meat Carnival, which was born in Israel, and Chef Itamar brought it to Wine Country. What is Meat Carnival? Part workshop, part feast, part entertainment – but ultimately it is an unforgettable experience. Guests can eat and drink all they want from 8 different chef tables, each serving up different dishes every thirty minutes or so. It is interactive, over the top, and a feast for the senses! The name has changed to (M)Eat Carnival since the dishes have expanded beyond just meat.
