It’s been a fun ride so far virtually hanging out with Foodie & Wino Tanya Melillo! This webisode of the 4 part series is by far the funniest. Tanya and I seem to be laughing the whole time about one thing or another. In this clip we learn what kind of man this attractive and single lady goes for as well as where to take her on a date. Tanya also reveals a brand new project which involves dinner with 5th generation winemaker Karl Wente.

Special thanks to Susanne and her friend Monika. Since living on the country in Hamburg Germany at present, internet speeds are of the stone age. Well, you get my point. A thrown rock would reach point B faster than a mouse click around here. Anyway, on occasion it’s necessary to drive the data to a neighboring town with faster internet in order to upload a 125MB file without any connection errors. Thanks again ladies!

Thanks for watching.

No body and I mean nobody can Hobnob like my current guest, Wine Pro and Foodie Tanya Melillo. The Wine Time TV series continues with Part 2 (of 3 or 4 clips) of my then live Skype interview with one if the new stars of PBS’ The Winemakers Season 2, where I learned of Tanya’s exciting encounters with French Laundry’s Thomas Keller, top chefs Gary Danko and Traci des Jardins, retired Playboy and current Mayor of San Francisco Gavin Newsom and more!

I’m always excited to make new Wine Time TV shows however this next series is particularly interesting for me. This marks my first attempt at incorporating a Skype video call with the guest!

Recently I had the honor of hanging out (virtually) with top Foodie and Wino and new star talent in The Winemakers Season 2 (PBS), Tanya Melillo! In this first websode we learn a lot more about Tanya and what makes her tick. We also discover how the heck she and I even know about one another. And I finally figure out what her connection with the likes of comedian Will Ferrell, star chef’s Tom Colicchio and Rocco Dispirito are all about!

Given that Wine Time TV is currently a low to no budget production, what do you do when you really want to involve some amazing talent in the show but they live 7 hours away by car (LA -> SF) or even 12 hours by plane (Hamburg -> SF) and you can’t simply travel to meet each other for an hour or two to have an engaging interview?


You use SKYPE!


That’s what my next guest (Tanya Melillo) and I managed for a first time attempt. She’s a terribly interesting Wino with lots to talk about. Yes, that’s a compliment! Tune in October 1st for Wine Time TV Webisode #5!

Here’s a teaser…

I’m very pleased to announce and promote the next episode of the show which will feature Tanya Melillo. Many know her website found here.

Thanks for reading!
Cheers,

Though this piece doesn’t focus on Wine particularly, I felt the need to support it since the host of the clip is Tanya Melillo. You might remember her from the early days of Murphy-Goode Winery’s now infamous A REALLY GOODE JOB campaign, where she was in the Top 50 and for damn good reasons. Hell, I even pegged her in part 2 of my own three-part Top 10 Show as a big winner.

How wrong was I. Then again, the guy who actually won the dream job, Hardy Wallace, I’d only given an honorable mention. Doh! I guess I just didn’t ‘get’ his video.

So, have a look a Tanya Melillo’s interview with TOP CHEF’S Jamie Lauren. Thanks Tanya for the submission and keep up the great work!
