What's The Juice? - Episode 54: Gina Gallo, The NFL and Hunger Relief, Part 2 (January 28, 2012)

Special Guest - Gina Gallo

Our special guest, veritable wine-business royalty, is Gina Gallo - of E&J Gallo.  Today's theme: HUNGER RELIEF - RIGHT HERE IN INDIANA!!

The Gallos are partnering with Taste Of The NFL this Superbowl weekend in Indy to host Party With A Purpose - a food and wine extravaganza featuring celebrity chefs from every NFL city, past and present NFL players, the newly crowned Miss America, special musical guests, and Food Network Host Ted Allen - all in the name of raising money for Gleaners Food Bank. 

Gleaners is a food bank in Indy which has provided over 275 million pounds of food to hungry hoosiers since 1980.  They have a special talent for stretching a dollar:

1 out of every 6 Americans (yes, Americans) struggles with hunger.  The number of Americans seeking emergency food relief is up 46% since 2005.

A MERE $10 DONATION WILL PROVIDE 40 MEALS FOR HUNGRY HOOSIERS.  That is a staggering impact of a very small donation - and 100% of all proceeds will provide relief right here in Indiana.  Please go to either Taste Of The NFL or Gleaners right now and donate.  Your help is desperately needed.

Please join me in a very special conversation with this Great American Philanthropist: Gina Gallo.  Additional topics will include: wine pairing, wine making, VH1 Save The Music, and of course, football!!

What's the Juice? explores the vast world of fine wine, beer, and spirits in a laid back style that appeals to both the novice and connoisseur. Hosted by Brad Dunn, Bloomington's first Certified Sommelier, with co-host Leslie Thomas.
