Kendall-Jackson
Grand Reserve
SANTA BARBARA COUNTY
CHARDONNAY2018
Lush tropical fruit, lemon, lime and floral notes intertwines with nice minerality from the calciferous soils in the Santa Maria and Los Alamos Valleys. There is a touch of floral notes from the small amounts of Dijon and Rued clones, and a hint of vanilla and spice to round out the rich, long finish.

Financial Autonomy! Yes Please! with Paul Benson
Welcome Wine and Dime Listeners! In this episode I welcome back to the show fellow podcaster and financial planner, Paul Benson. If you recall, Paul has a podcast called Financial Autonomy, that focuses on financial strategies to give you choice. Be sure to subscribe right after you listen to the episode! Paul is back to talk about his new book called, you guessed it, Financial Autonomy. And for a lucky listener a copy can be yours, just listen to the episode for details. But for now, grab your favorite beverage, sit on back and enjoy the show!
Paul Benson
Hi, I’m Paul. I help people like you gain choice in life through our proven Financial Autonomy framework.
My focus is on providing helpful and actionable information and advice so you can set effective goals, optimise your cash flow, develop an investment strategy, and stretch your entrepreneurial wings.I’m directly involved in the management of approximately $90million for my clients . I contribute articles to the likes of the Sydney Morning Herald, The Age, Entrepreneur.com, and have appeared on ABC Radio National’s Life Matters program.
Financial Autonomy
Financial Autonomy, by Melbourne financial planning expert Paul Benson is about money. But, unlike most money books, it's not focused on making you the richest person in your street, or worse, the richest person in the cemetery. Instead, the focus of this book is on gaining choice.
Have you ever listened to a guest on a radio program or a speaker at an event talking about some amazing experience they've had? Perhaps it was traveling through Tibet in a beaten-up Land Rover, sailing around the world, jumping out of planes in a wing suit, or starting a business or charity of their own, driven by a magnitude 10 passion to make an impact.
When you listened to these inspiring stories, did you ever wonder how they managed to organize their life so that it was possible? Do you wish you could organize your life to do what's important to you?
Financial Autonomy is a book about money but it's equally about gaining choice. If you get the money side of your life right, you will have the choice to pursue maximum happiness in all the other aspects of your life.
Personal finance expert Paul Benson believes there are three vehicles to create enough wealth to have the choices you desire are:
(1) Investing in shares;
(2) Investing in property; and
(3) Working for yourself (starting a side hustle or small business).
He explores these in detail, as well budgeting and saving - and as you'd expect, he gives readers a choice of strategies they can adopt to succeed in these areas.

Energy Healing with Isabel Restrepo
In this episode of Wine and Dime, we want to welcome Isabel Restrepo. Isabel was originally from Columbia, South America moved to Minnesota, and ended up in Los Angeles Her journey has been a windy road that has led her to what is called an energy healer. Isabel launched her new business and is now building that business on helping others recover from a loss of energy. Have you ever felt just worn out and can't figure out what's going on with you? Well, that's Isabel's super power, as I call it. She really likes to work with people who just feel drained, and need help regaining that energy!
We hope that you enjoy this episode. I think you're gonna find some amazing tidbits in it. So grab your favorite beverage, sit on back and sip away.
Isabel Restrepo
Hello! I’m so happy you’ve made it here, welcome! My name is Isabel. I help women of color prioritize themselves through connecting with their emotional needs so they can live a life full of freedom.
You see, from a young age I’ve had the ability to feel deeply, and to see the good in things. Like a match that’s been lit, no matter how big and dark the cave it may be in, the light can always be seen. I’d love to say that this is something I understood from a young age, but the truth is it’s taken some time for me to be able to see my empathic ability as a gift and as my greatest power. My birthplace and roots are in Medellin, Colombia and at the age of seven we moved to the US and took residence in Minnesota. I grew up in a duality of worlds with mixed messages about my race, worth, value, opportunities, and what it means to be a woman.
Through all of this, I’ve come to see that a theme in my life has been the ability to build and rebuild, continuing to dig deeper and deeper into the layers of my own self. After graduating from the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities with a double major in Communication Studies and Psychology and a minor in Spanish, the 2009 recession hit. So I decided to continue my studies at New York University where I obtained my Master’s in Media, Culture, and Communication. I didn’t know that some of the biggest transformations would stem from this beautiful city known as the big apple. I worked at major companies including Banco Santander, Telemundo, and NBCUniversal. I had major successes, yet no matter how much ‘fun’ I was having with alcohol, burnout, and toxic relationships it always felt like something was missing. That’s when I bought a one way ticket to India. I was trying to search for answers outside of myself, not realizing that what I was learning were tools to be able to look deep inside. I dove into the magical wisdom of the country and received my 200hour Yoga Alliance yoga teacher certificate. I ventured into a 10 day silent Vipassana retreat. A few months later, I went back to my roots and connected with the spirit of yajé, also known as Ayahuasca. An experience that is not for the faint of heart yet allowed me to connect to ancient wisdom beyond the realms of this reality.
For the years that followed I tried to take these new tools into my “work life” leading me to move to Los Angeles and join YouTube. I tried to live a double life where I worked full time as a high achieving professional during the day and in my free time fed my heart by diving into different healing modalities. These modalities include, Transpersonal Spiritual Counseling, Human Design, getting into the body, Reiki, meditation, Craniosacral, Raindrop Technique, Tarot, shadow work, manifestation, inner child work, dynamic meditation, therapy, Elemental Magick, and the list goes on. I was ignoring that part of me that so desperately wanted to be in the depths of the heart as my work. I realized that as much as I liked to be a strong independent woman, I didn’t have to navigate these changes alone. The process of stripping away the layers of expectations I’ve put on myself and others to do it all on our own has been incredibly humbling. I’ve met the most beautiful teachers along the way that have created space for me to allow myself to fully embrace all of the parts that make me me. To truly follow my heart’s desire, allow those desires to evolve, and embrace my fire within.
As a Projector in Human Design, I am here to guide and am literally designed to deeply see and understand other people. I love to hold space for women who are committed to their growth, so they can shed the layers that have been weighing them down, light their own match within the cave, gain clarity on what human experiences their heart truly longs for, and live their life filled with freedom.
I invite you to watch the video “Connecting Through Stories” to learn more about my story.

Surviving Financial Infidelity
Each week I open the podcast reminding people that "Like wine, life and finances have different palettes that should be celebrated and not judged." When you listen to this week's podcast, it's hard to envision any sort of "celebration" when it comes to financial infidelity, but this week's guest is on a mission to celebrate her recovery and help educate others along the way.
We refer to this guest as simply "Kelly" to protect her and her family. This show was not easy for "Kelly," as you will hear. She explains that financial infidelity is often subtle, it lurks in the background, UNTIL it doesn't. Can you imagine, life is going along great, you've just had a child and are on maternity leave, then you get a knock on the door and you are served one day out of the blue? Then over the course the next few weeks finding out that your identity has been "stolen" and you have over $100,000 of debt in your name that you didn't know about? Now add to that, the "theft" was your spouse.
"Kelly" reflects back on the signs leading up to the knock on the door and provides some valuable lessons for all of us to follow. Don't miss this survivor's journey, recovery, and preservane.
If you suspect that you might be a victim of identity theft or financial infidelity, it is critical that you move quickly. If you haven't already, we would recommend that you pull your free credit report from www.annualcreditreport.com. You can pull one free credit report from each of the agencies each year.
The Federal Trade Commission Consumer Information has some great resources for you to explore as well on reporting identity theft and creating a recovery plan: https://www.consumer.ftc.gov/features/feature-0014-identity-theft
We know this episode is emotionally packed, but we are so thankful for "Kelly's" willingness to share her journey, in order to hopefully help others.

Making Mudpies with Susan Bartone
Welcome back Wine and Dime Listeners! I sure do have a treat for you this week. And I mean that literally. This weeks guest is the owner of Mudpies, Susan Bartone. Mudpies specializes in creating custom treats just for you. Everything they make is custom made just for you! During the episode we talk about having a business during a pandemic can be stressful, and how she had to basically shut down for a period of time. But she persevered and now is back to doing what she loves. I hope you enjoy this episode and if you want to order something from Susan, be sure to check out all the contact information below!
How mudpies began
The foundation of MudPies began years ago, before I knew it, creating pies of mud decorated with flowers from our country home. As I grew, my love for creating "mud pies" developed into things we could actually eat! Growing up with a German and Italian background -- utilizing food grown from our garden, local farms and co-ops was important to us. Soon I would bake whatever I could think of in my Holly Hobby oven (thanks mom & dad!).
As years passed I developed a deeper passion for baking, creating, decorating, eating unique things, and running! The idea of starting a business doing what I loved seemed a bit surreal, but what had I to lose? MudPies LLC began in 2012 by attending local farm markets; it has been quickly growing supplying wholesale to local businesses, and retail to treasured clientele. ~Susan
My mission
I believe there should be something for everyone. be it delightfully indulgent or delightfully healthy. Susan gladly works with clients to adapt MudPies baked goods to suit their needs.
MudPies represents a little bit of everything.
When I established MudPies, I first thought it was going to be a little bit of everything I've collected and created from my family history. As MudPies grew, I had an increasing number of requests from clients to adapt this or that. The common phrase was “I’d love that ‘item’ if it were gluten free, or vegan, or made with coconut flour, or…”
I quickly learned that there was something missing in the baking market - and I was on a mission to fill that void! Why? I have a passion for baking and feel that if I'm able to adapt baked products for someone who chooses to or has to follow a certain diet, or to create celebration foods for that special occasion, ease the stress of someone who's a good baker and ran out of time - then my mission is accomplished. I take great pride in what I do and using quality ingredients is very important to me. I will continue to expand utilizing local products when available. MudPies is essential to me not to make money, but to add joy to those around me.
I gain much happiness knowing that someone can enjoy something or look forward to a little something special to brighten their day!

Weis Vineyards
Winemaking History
Born in Zell Mosel, Germany, Winemaker Hans Peter Weis grew up in the vineyards and cellar of his family winery. He spent many years learning and gaining experience in the traditional style of the Mosel. After receiving his degree in winemaking, business and agriculture, he decided to travel to the United States on a quest to pursue his winemaking passion. He experienced one vintage in the Sonoma region of California before he stumbled upon his home away from home in the Finger Lakes region of New York. He found the minerality of the soil and climate similar to that of home and knew it would be the perfect place to pursue his passion of handcrafting traditional German style wines for all to enjoy!

Retirement Plans and Options with Amy
Welcome to this edition of Wine & Dime with Amy Irvine. As you know, every week it's my goal to talk about somebody's journey through their financial vineyard. But we're taking a little sidestep today and instead of talking to somebody we're going to be talking about something. Something along the lines of retirement accounts and the type of distributions that you can take from retirement accounts. There's some little hidden secrets in there that I can’t wait to share. I know this isn’t the typical Wine and Dime event where we're talking to somebody about their journey, but it might be about your journey. Particularly, in this year.
So, sit on back, grab your favorite beverage and enjoy the show!
Sébastien and Céline Leseurre are a French husband and wife winemaking team living and working in the Finger Lakes. When they first moved to New York, they explored the Finger Lakes by visiting and sampling grapes from the many different terroirs — geography, geology, and climate of a certain place — and soon determined this is the best place to grow beautiful grapes and craft fine wine together.
We unite our French heritage and new world wine experience to develop Finger Lakes wines which pair well with fine cuisine as well as casual fare. When people ask us what a good wine is, we love to say that it is the one you enjoy, so we hope that you will enjoy Domaine LeSeurre wines with your friends and family.
