ScriptureJourney · Oct 2025

In just five minutes I’m whisked away around the globe visiting charming wineries with host Forrest Kelly, all while picking up fascinating wine facts, travel inspiration and great conversation starters. A perfect podcast to pop into when you’d love a wine moment without committing to a long-episode binge.

TravelBuff88 · Oct 2025

I absolutely loved this episode! Erica D'Arcangelo's story is such an inspiration—how a grandfather's dream turned into a 65-year family tradition is a beautiful example of passion passed down through generations. The way she turned burnout into creativity and grew her family business using marketing and storytelling is so motivating. I especially loved the insights on perfect pizza dough and the art of pairing Lambrusco Frizzante with pizza. Plus, who knew that pizza delivery started for a queen? A must-listen for anyone who loves food, family, and stories that leave a mark.
