IWP Ep33 Short Stories on California Wine 1. Usually we have an interview or one subject running throughout an episode. This episode will be a little different. Doing research for episodes I often come across stories and people who can’t fill a full episode but the stories of both are fun and unusual and deserve to be heard. Sometimes these older publications just have weird and random columns, sections or sometimes it's just a sentence, nearly all of these I’m collecting will be

IWP Ep28 The Life and Writings of Angelo Pellegrini. Today we are talking about Angelo Pellegrini, the great Italian American author. If you aren’t familiar with the name, his books to me are classics of food and wine based literature. If you enjoy the writings of MFK Fisher, Jacques Pépin, Julia Child, James Beard etc. then his books are right up your alley and have more of a wine tilt to them also. He captures the immigrant experience and a changing world and the books are wonderful to read
