Plus, a Head’s up on the Biggest Chardonnay Bash in America!
These days, there’s a pretty strong connection between celebrity and wine… from those who alternate from stage to vineyard, to those who leverage their celebrity in even more unusual ways.
This week’s show begins with a conversation with Paul Cullen, a former bass player for the legendary rock band Bad Company. Paul combines his prowess in food, wine and music into a neat little package called “Tune Your Palate.”
Later in the show, David and Sunset Magazine Wine Editor Sara Schneider get a first taste of Black Eyed Peas Lead Singer Fergie’s Syrah. Does it rock, or roll?

Also on the show, David is joined by Linda Parker-Sanpei, Director of the International Chardonnay Symposium. If you love Chardonnay, you won’t want to miss a drop of this interview. All this and more to savor on this week’s Grape Encounters!
