(1:06) When a wedding gift evolves into a lifelong passion, it's a story worth uncorking. Join us as we raise a glass with Catherine Montest, who takes us on a spirited journey from receiving her first bottle of fine wine to diving deep into wine clubs and vintner adventures. Her insights remind us that, like a fine wine, relationships and palates mature beautifully over time. Our conversation isn't just about the bouquet of a good Bordeaux; it’s a toast to the connections we cherish and the moments we share.

(7:48) On a different note, we're squeezing in some melodious charm with Kevin Solecki, Pittsburgh's own accordion virtuoso, who brings his tunes and tales to our ears. Kevin's fingers dance over the keys, telling a story of tradition and triumph, from his performances at Wholey's Fish Market to his thriving Carnegie Accordion Company. 

(13:44) And if your taste buds are tingling for more local flavor, Abby O'Connell is your guide to the culinary landscape of Spirits and Tales, from divine brunches to dinners that dazzle against Pittsburgh's Oakland skyline. Plus a party sandwich recipe that will have locals drooling. Don't just listen—become part of the narrative by sharing your own recipes and revel in the rich flavors of our region.
