Welcome to this edition of Wine and Dine with Amy Irvine. In this edition, you will hear some really unique combinations that are taking place out of a new business idea by somebody I met in a Facebook group that I belong to. Krystina Benedetti is amazing in what she is starting in her particular experience through Covid-19. The dream that has become very clear to her and how she's taking a normally hands-on experience, and taking it virtually.
Be sure to listen all the way to the end where you can find out information on how to reach out to Krystina and get more information about her virtual cookie ice night. Of course there must be a little bit of wine involved here, so sit on back, grab your favorite glass of wine, and enjoy this show with Krystina.
Highlights:
Want a two hour break from being (fill in the blank) - Krystina is following her dream to combine cookies, icing, and wine….oh my!
Amy and Krystina talk about how the experience of being isolated during COVID-19 helped Krystina discover her passion, create her own company, and ultimately bring people together. After listening to this podcast, you will want to get your girlfriends together and host a Virtual cookie ice night!

The gift they never knew they’ve always wanted
We all have that one friend who is hard to shop for - they buy themselves whatever they want! But you know who they love? You. You know what they’d love? Something yummy you helped inspire. Whether you have a set made that includes their favorite things to do (hiking, sunning on the beach, drinking wine, you get the idea) or something they’re obsessed with (sloths, dinosaurs, unicorns, beautiful floral prints!), we can create the most memorable gift yet.

Wine: Amy: Bully Hill Cabernet Franc
CABERNET FRANC
Cabernet Franc, one of the three pillars of the classic Bordeaux blend, has proven itself as a solid producer in the Finger Lakes wine region of New York. A lot of wineries prefer this as their staple red vinifera due to the vines shorter ripening period and cold tolerance. The key to making a fine Cab Franc starts in the vineyard. Pick too early and the wine will have an unsavory green bell pepper characteristic; pick to late and the fruit will be unsound leaving the winemaker rushing to stabilize the wine from spoilage.
Bully Hill makes a downright tasty Cab Franc with the grapes being sourced from Seneca Lake. The current 2013 vintage was fermented in Redwood open top fermenters for maximum tannin and color extraction. Once finished and pressed off, we fill up oak casks down in the cellar to bring this fine wine to fruition. We do small lot production of 500 cases a year and thanks to our happy herd of customers this wine sells out annually!
