Your GrapeRadio crew and Robert Parker Jr.
Your GrapeRadio crew was lucky enough to spend the evening and dinner with Robert Parker Jr. The event was held at Valentino’s Restaurant in the beautiful Venetian Hotel - Las Vegas. It was an 8 course meal with an outrageous selection of wine.
Since Valentino’s is one of the top rated Italian restaurant in the USA we were treated to a magical evening of Italian wines. These memorable bottles were personally selected by Robert Parker. In fact, there were 14 different wines in all.

Hi there,
Just a quick note to tell you I really enjoy your show and your website. Great stuff. Wish I could just smell some of those Barolo’s from your Robert Parker dinner!
I am embarking on that podcast journey with my show, The Radio Kitchen. It’s a program that I have been working on over the past 6 years on and off. When we were syndicated on the radio, at our zenith, we were on nearly 50 stations. But podcasting, I think, will surpass our best numbers in radio easily.
In this new format, I’ve got two shows up. I’ll be doing a new show every week. The first show featured some guests from the farmers market in San Francisco as well as an interview from our archives with Jacques Pepin. This week, we’re talking Honey with Marshall’s Farms Honey. Interesting tasting the breadth of their products, and pairing them with different foods, like cheese. I also revived an interview with Joyce Goldstein for Passover.
All this is by way of saying, that I’ll be listing your website in my links section. And I invite you to listen to my show and see if it might fit in with your links.
