Who is this Nikki person, anyway?

Sip with Nikki

So... our Producer, Kathryn, suggested that we turn the tables and someone interview me for this week's episode. This way, you'll get to know me a little and learn about what gets me fired up! (hint: it rhymes with food and wine.)

I chose my good friend, Steve Tinn, in Orlando to get the job done. Not only is Steve one of the wittiest and best storytellers I know, but he’s had a front row seat (and been a trusted advisor) during the last 2 decades of re-inventing myself and following my passions. He’s provided humor and levity throughout the ups and downs of it all.

In a recent visit back to Orlando, Steve and I met at one of our favorite restaurants that we used to frequent when I lived there, called Dragonfly I visit pretty much every time I'm back in town! It’s some of the best sushi I found on the east coast. So this is the first of an ongoing special series of restaurant recordings!

Join us at our lively dinner table as we:

• Visit with some of our old favorite sushi rolls and try to convince “Jeremy” (totally made-up) in the kitchen to make some discontinued menu items for us
• Chase "fireworks" food and wine pairing moments
• Talk about how a Jersey girl became a wine educator and winemaker by way of Walt Disney World
• Discuss just saying Yes and figuring out the rest later...
• Try 2 awesome wines - DOUBLE SIP SPOTLIGHT! Order them here:

Terranoble Sauvignon Blanc (Chile)

Penner-Ash Pinot Noir (Wilamette Valle, OR)

I hope you enjoy pulling up a virtual chair to our table.

We laugh.

I cry (just a little).

And we have some damn good food and wine as we do it

We also talk about our passion project Sollevato Wines.

If you'd like to Fill the envelope here for the next vintage (or to buy Kathryn a bourbon) we would be so grateful!
