The Golf, Grape & Grub Show is about the passion & FUN of pursuing the “G’s” and this week we cover some highly trained professionals, aka (HTP’s). Mitch Cosentino has been producing wonderful wine in Napa for decades and also been making it for several touring pros.

One of the Great things about golf are the $$$$ raised for charity.

Grub is another factor in almost all charity fund raisers and we bring in one of DFW’s finest, Dr. Emily McLaughlin to bring us up to speed on Boobie Que 2.  She is the surgeon who heads up West Magnolia Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery. She understands first hand > “Pain to Purpose” and has taken it to a new level.

Dr. Em is a recent breast cancer “thriver” and has vowed to help kick cancers’ ass by partnering with Heim Barbeque & Catering for their second event at Rahr & Sons Brewery in Fort Worth on October 29.  Trust me, you’ll enjoy her positive and provocative outlook on life.  She is zestee!!  I’m sure she’ll let me sneak in some grape juice. 🙂

Pam Wood & I tee it up this Saturday at 11 AM(CT) on FB Live from Emily’s “Sexy Front Porch”.  We check in with Mitch on his latest projects as harvest continues in Napa. Pure Cru!!!

Of course we’ll have updates on the Fed Ex Cup Finale & the President’s Cup in NYC (I know it’s actually NJ).

Karen MacNeil is the only American to have won every major wine award given in the English language.

These include the Wine and Spirits Professional of the Year (James Beard Foundation) and the Global Wine Communicator of the Year (International Wine and Spirits Association).  In a full-page profile on her, TIME Magazine called Karen “America’s Missionary of the Vine.”

Karen joins Pam Wood & me on the Golf, Grape & Grub Show this Saturday @ 11 AM(CT) on FB Live. We’ll also update you on the golf Majors & Cup events on the sked.

Far reaching global wine knowledge is only part of Karen’s story. She is considered America’s foremost wine presenter–a speaker who can enchant audiences from 5 to 500, and from wine novices to wine collectors alike. And she’ll explain why she uses zestee metaphors and wine descriptors like “bed sheets” and “erogenous zones” to perk up your interest.

Karen is also the author of the award-winning book, THE WINE BIBLE, the single best- selling wine book in the United States, praised as “The most informative and entertaining book I’ve ever seen on the subject” (Danny Meyer), “Astounding” (Thomas Keller), and “A masterpiece of wine writing…the single best wine book written in years…” (Kevin Zraly).

The former wine correspondent for the Today Show, Karen was the host of the PBS series Wine, Food and Friends with Karen MacNeil, for which she won an Emmy. Karen is the creator and editor of WineSpeed, the leading digital “e-letter” in the U.S. for fast, authoritative information about wine.

Her articles on wine and food have been published in more than 50 newspapers and magazines including The New York Times, Town & Country, Elle, and Worth. She was the first Food and Wine Editor of USA Today. Karen currently hosts #SipWithKaren, the leading Twitter tasting in the global wine sphere, which each month reaches 20+ million timelines from Indiana to India.
