| Vintage | Early 80’s |
| Tasting notes | Jess has a long background in learning how to party like an adult from many years of partying like a teenager and then a college student. Lot’s of lessons learned there. She has worked in online media for over 10 years, ran a half marathon, rode a bike in the mountains in china, reads approximately 30-50 books per year, made two children, married since 2010, owns real estate, and buried a father. All of those things grew her in ways she could never imagine. |
| Pairs well with | Books, sarcasm and water. |
| Motto in life | Surround yourself with people you love and empower you, and let the rest go. |
| Kind of wine | Napa Cabernet Sauvignon. Second edition. I am assuming the first wasn’t that great but from then on they got it right! I am big, fruity and sometimes a bit jammy. |
Melissa Zeligman
| Region | Alexandria, VA |
| Vintage | 60s |
| Tasting notes | Melissa has been hosting and throwing parties since her early days on the playground with mud-pies, lemonade stands and neighborhood kids. She has worked in the food & beverage world off and on for 25+ years. Along the way she worked in non-profit serving at-risk youth programs in the US & UK. Lately, she has found her home as a writer & creative. Any time spent in the kitchen now is cooking for the people she loves and the occasional marathon chocolate making mission. She has moved 29 times, owned 11 beds [they’re a pain to move] and believes she is the love child of Tom Robbins & Julia Child. |
| Pairs well with | Things we’re passionate about and/or something playful. |
| Motto in life | Surround yourself with people you love and empower you, and let the rest go. |
| Kind of wine | Ripasso aka ‘Baby Amarrone’. Dark, flavorful and complex. Don’t underestimate a Ripasso or me. |
