Now a tantalizing preview of this Saturday’s decadent show. It’s not, with profuse apologies, for dieters. If we’re successful we will always leave you incredibly hungry and thirsty. In our case, and upon careful reflection, that’s probably a pretty good thing… As always thanks for being a part of our loyal listening audience.
We love to share inspiring family entrepreneurial success stories especially when coupled with fulfilling second careers.

At the heart of Georgia’s is family matriarch Gretchen Shoemaker (a youthful 80-years young,) who is our guest.
Eric Hamacher set forth as a winemaking gypsy after earning his viticulture and enology degree from UC Davis in 1988. Eric has since created stunning wines for more than 35 vintages at multiple wineries around the world. After leaving Napa in 1995, Eric headed North to the “Promise Land” of Pinot Noir and founded his eponymous winery in the Willamette Valley of Oregon. Eric is with us to pull the cork on Hamacher Wines.
