Adam Morganstern and Greg Wacks from the Organic Wine Journal invited a group of VIP New Yorkers to sample some of Tony's most beloved reds plus his killer "cloudy" Sauvignon Blanc. Tony talked about how he and his brother Phil, who have been making wine for over 30 years, belief wholeheartedly in the biodynamic winemaking process.

A sequence of misfortunes, coupled with misunderstandings and tragedies threaten Paul's safety and sanity while he attempts to get back to his apartment, uptown.

Culture Catch Salon Invades Austin During SXSW*, Pt. 2!

Many may not remember the Alamo, but they remember the madcap lads (and lass) in the rolling CC RV during SXSW* 2006! Come March 14th 2007, it'll be time once again for the CULTURE CATCH RV ROAD SHOW. This year we’ve secured a fantastic new venue on 5th Street, Canvas Bar & Gallery, and it's reserved for us for the entire week. With our CC SALON swirling inside, it’ll be very difficult to maintain our low profile. (Have you ever spent a week eating, sleeping, partying on an RV in the heart of Austin? Ever see Spinal Tap?)

We're scaling back our CC SALON and taking it to the streets and slopes of the Sundance Film Festival with our sponsor Absolut. It's an easy assignment finding smart culture stories at this world famous film festival, but somebody's got to do it. That's right we'll be podcasting from the deck of our Absolut Headquarters facility in the heart of Park City. Plus many cool surprises for those lucky enough to hang with us. Too bad you'll miss the skiing. (Powered by Podango and Neurokoptics.)
