The Good Stuff – Professor Emeritus George Day at the Wharton School

In this episode of The Good Stuff presented by the Sonoma County Winegrowers, hosts Virginie Boone and Karissa Kruse talk with Professor Emeritus George Day at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania and Co-Chair of the Ag Sustainability Center. Professor Day was one of Karissa's professors when she attended Wharton for her MBA, and the two have a mutual admiration. After her rigorous studies at Wharton, Karissa eventually found her way to Sonoma County and became the Executive Director of Sonoma County Winegrowers. She realized that there was an opportunity to help winegrowers learn how to innovate and that an Ag Center would be a good way to bring people from various industries together to shape goals and practices for improving the economics of farming, sustainability, leadership growth, and adapting farm practices. She asked her former Professor to lead the charge, and he took about a nanosecond to consider before he said yes. Initially meant to be just a year long project, the Ag Center has blossomed, and more people and perspectives have joined in. And finally, Virginie, Karissa, and Professor Day share their Tuesday Night wine picks.

 

ROCK’nVINO – Priest Ranch Winery

During this episode of ROCK’nVINO, hosts Coco and Michelle talk with Judd Wallenbrock, CEO of Priest Ranch Winery. Judd talks about working in the wine industry, learning about the synergy of wine, food and the arts from his time as global vice president of marketing at Robert Mondavi, president of Michel-Schlumberger, and president and CEO of C. Mondavi & Family. He founded his own label, Humanitas Wines in 2001, using the "Newman's Own Model" of making stuff and giving away the proceeds. In this case it was delicious wines, in a great setting featuring rock photography on the walls, and high level molecular gastronomy on the plates. After retiring, Judd discovered that he wasn't very good at being retired, so when the opportunity arose, he signed on as CEO of Priest Ranch Winery and Somerston Estate. He was delighted to work with a team that already were doing fantastic things, and so now Judd gets to help the brand work on those wow experiences, like innovative wine and food pairings (a bacon tasting! a chocolate "dirt" tasting!), and music and wine pairings. There are a few more dates this season to enjoy Thursday Night Live! at Priest Ranch. And you can also enjoy delicious food at The Kitchen at Priest Ranch! Learn more at priestranchwines.com
