WELL, WOMEN OWNED TENDRIL CELLARS WAS FOUNDED IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA IN 2020. NOW, ALL WOMEN OWNED AND OPERATED BUSINESS HAS OPENED UP A TASTING ROOM IN MIDTOWN SACRAMENTO. THEY’RE HOSTING EVENTS ALL MONTH LONG. AND OF COURSE, WE’VE GOT JILL AND LISA, THE OWNERS THEMSELVES, JOINING US THIS MORNING. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE. ABSOLUTELY. I KNOW THAT THIS, THIS, THIS TASTING ROOM HAS BEEN OPEN FOR A LITTLE WHILE. HOW ARE THINGS GOING? IT’S GREAT. I MEAN, WE MADE A BIG MOVE. THE WINE INDUSTRY HAS BEEN CONTRACTING A LOT, BUT NOT BECAUSE PEOPLE AREN’T DRINKING. THEY JUST WANT TO DRINK AND EXPERIENCE IN A DIFFERENT WAY. SO WE CLOSED OUR TASTING ROOM IN PLYMOUTH TO OPEN A BRAND NEW SPOT, WHICH WE OPENED THE DAY AFTER THANKSGIVING IN MIDTOWN IN THE MARS BUILDING BETWEEN J AND K ON 20TH STREET. AND NOW WE’RE OPEN SEVEN DAYS A WEEK AND WE CAN BRING OUR, YOU KNOW, SUSTAINABLY FARMED AND AWARD WINNING WINES TO MIDTOWN AND MAKE A BIGGER IMPACT BECAUSE WE ARE MISSION BASED BRAND. AND SO WE DONATE 10% OF EVERY ALL OF OUR PROFITS BACK TO ORGANIZATIONS THAT EMPOWER WOMEN AND FIGHT FOR GENDER, RACIAL JUSTICE. AND THAT ACCESSIBILITY. I GOT TO IMAGINE IT LENDS ITSELF TO YOU FOLKS ALSO TAKING PART IN A LOT OF DIFFERENT EVENTS THAT HAPPEN IN MIDTOWN. YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. SO WE’RE ABLE TO DO NOW, LIKE JILL SAID, WE’RE ABLE TO BE OPEN SEVEN DAYS A WEEK. AND INSTEAD OF TRADITIONAL TASTING ROOM HOURS LIKE 11 TO 4, WE’RE NOT OPENING A LOT UNTIL LIKE AROUND THREE AND STAYING OPEN UNTIL THE EVENING. SO WE’RE DOING KARAOKE NIGHTS EVERY WEEK, TRIVIA NIGHTS. WE’VE GOT AN OSCAR WATCH PARTY THIS SUNDAY. WE’RE GOING TO HAVE THE RED CARPET WITH, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE LIVE MUSIC ON SATURDAY. EVERY EVERY SATURDAY MORNING DURING THE FARMER’S MARKET, WE HAVE BAGELS AND BOTTOMLESS MIMOSAS, AND IT JUST ALLOWS US TO BUILD COMMUNITY. PEOPLE WANT AN EXPERIENCE AND THEY WANT TO MAKE CONNECTIONS AND BUILD COMMUNITY. AND WE’RE ABLE TO DO THAT AND TO GIVE BACK MORE. NOW AGAIN, WE USED TO HAVE A TASTING ROOM OUT THERE IN PLYMOUTH, BUT THE GRAPES ARE STILL BEING GROWN OUT THERE. SO WHAT DO YOU FOLKS TYPICALLY KNOWN FOR IN TERMS OF YOUR WINES? WELL, WE BROUGHT YOU PROBABLY OUR BEST KNOWN RED, WHICH IS BARBERA. BARBARA. AND THEN WE BROUGHT A WHITE BLEND THAT IS SAUVIGNON BLANC, ROUSSANNE, VERMENTINO AND VIOGNIER, WHICH IS SUMMER IN A GLASS OR A PORCH FOUNDER. AND WITH THE WARM WEEK COMING, THIS IS GOING TO BE PERFECT FOR EVERYBODY. SO YOU KNOW, CHEERS, CHEERS. OH, THAT’S VERY TASTY. YOU KNOW, I HAVE A QUICK QUESTION, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE I AM DEFINITELY MORE OF A REDS PERSON NOW WHEN IT DOES START TO WARM UP, IS IT OKAY TO GO AHEAD AND PUT THAT RED BOTTLE OF WINE IN THE FRIDGE? YOU KNOW WHAT? WE BELIEVE THAT YOU SHOULD DRINK WE ACTUALLY HAVE A GRENACHE. GRENACHE IS A GREAT RED TO CHILL. WE ALSO HAVE. WE JUST ROLLED OUT THE FROZEN MACHINE SO THAT’S FROZEN FROZEN ROSÉ FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR. WE HAVE ADULT SLURPEES HAVE OFFICIALLY LAUNCHED AT TAKING NOTES. ADULT SLURPEES. WE WEREN’T 100% GRENACHE. ROSÉ IS HOW WE MAKE IT. THE LITTLE BIT OF JUICE JUST TO MAKE SURE IT DOESN’T BIND UP IN THE MACHINE. GOT TO COME SEE US BECAUSE THEY’RE AWESOME. YES, WE LIKE TO PARTY AND YES, WE PARTY AND POUR WITH PURPOSE. YOU GUYS GOT THE BEST SAYINGS? YEAH, WE DEFINITELY NEED TO HANG OUT MORE. SO OKAY, TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHERE WE CAN FIND YOU IN CASE FOLKS WANT TO COME VISIT ALL OF OUR EVENTS, ALL OF OUR. IF YOU WANT TO MAKE A RESERVATION AT CENTRAL CELLARS.COM AND AND YEAH. AND IT’S AND IT’S IMPORTANT TO KNOW I MEAN WE SUSTAINABLY FARM. WE DON’T USE ANY CHEMICALS. IT’S ALL AWARD WINNING WINE. WE’VE WON OVER 100 NATIONAL AWARDS AND WE’VE DONATED OVER $300,000 BACK TO ORGANIZATIONS, WHICH IS REALLY IMPORTANT TO US AS A BRAND. YEAH. WELL, JILL AND LISA, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR STOPPING IN. ABSOLUTELY. DON’T BE STRANGERS. WE’LL SEE YOU. WE’LL BE BACK WITH WINE. CHEERS TO THAT. YOU DEFINITELY INVITED. ALL RIGHT, BRANDY, BACK TO YOU. I LOVE THAT. AND, MIKE, I WAS RECENTLY THERE FOR A
