Today’s Wine: Emendis Robert de Nola, Cava Brut Rosé

Today’s wine is the Emendis Robert de Nola Cava Brut Rosé. With its bright salmon color and fine bubbles, this cava offers rich aromas of wild berries and red currant. On the palate, it’s slightly piquant with spicy notes, balanced acidity, and a long, brioche-like finish. A refreshing and elegant choice for any occasion.

In this heartfelt episode, we reflect on the aftermath of the New Year’s tragedy in New Orleans—a city that has endured so much, yet continues to rise with unmatched strength and spirit. As we honor those whose lives were lost or forever changed, we also take a moment to celebrate what makes New Orleans truly special: its people. From the warmth of a "darlin'," "honey," or "baby" to the unwavering sense of community, this city embraces everyone like family, no matter where they’re from or who they are. We dive into the unique culture of NOLA, where generosity and authenticity are woven into every interaction, making this city one of a kind. Join us as we explore the resilience, love, and joy that make New Orleans a place unlike any other, and why the true essence of "Laissez les bon temps rouler" is so much more than just a motto—it's a way of life.
In light of the recent tragedy, there are ways we can all help the victims and their families. Consider donating blood through The Blood Center in New Orleans (thebloodcenter.org) or your local Red Cross (redcrossblood.org) to assist those in need. Additionally, many families have set up GoFundMe accounts to cover funeral expenses. Today, we want to highlight two families who are left with young children: Nicole Perez, who leaves behind her son, Melo, and Reggie Hunter, who leaves behind two young sons. Their GoFundMe pages are among the top results if you search their names. We’re donating to these funds because it’s unimaginable for children to lose a parent. Every little bit helps.
