We finished our last episode with Angela from Prairie Berry Winery talking about their wine club, and it's one of the biggest wine clubs in the United States. How big is it? So we have one of the largest wine clubs in the country. We have about 5000 wine club members from across the United States. We ship our wines four times a year to our members, and then they enjoy other benefits, such as event discounts and shipping perks, and our wine clubs called Gen Five. So it's a play on Generation Five, which, as I mentioned before, is the fifth-generation winemaker. I've never seen anything like it. When our guests come in this summer, and try our wines, most often, they live outside of the region. Your Host: Forrest Kelly is an experienced Radio/TV broadcaster who has interviewed some of Hollywood’s biggest celebrities, from Shania Twain to Kevin Costner. A lover of wine who is fascinated by the science behind it.Voted one of the best travel podcasts of 2021

When I tell people that sometimes, you know, they look at our labels as very whimsical and attractive, people enjoy the artwork on our labels. Right. And so when I tell them about the awards that we won, for example, for our flagship wine Red Ass Rhubarb, they’ll say, oh, it’s the name, but wine competitions are blind. So the judges don’t know what they’re tasting, which speaks for itself. Okay. I would be remiss if I didn’t ask about your most awarded wine and how you came about the name.Your Host: Forrest Kelly is an experienced Radio/TV broadcaster who has interviewed some of Hollywood’s biggest celebrities, from Shania Twain to Kevin Costner. A lover of wine who is fascinated by the science behind it.Voted one of the best travel podcasts of 2021
