Wine and Dime Episode 67 - The ABC's of Medicare with Kim Anderson
Hello again podcast listeners. If you are a regular to the show, you know that June is a month I want to talk about aging and some of the concerns that go with that. That’s why I’m siting down with Kim Anderson. Kim is one of my Medicare experts. In this episode we talk about Medicare and Social Security and some strategies that may be available to you.

Wine and Dime Episode 66 - Planning for Your Care Needs with Jill MacNeil
Hello again Wine and Dime listeners! In this episode, I had the opportunity to speak with Jill MacNeil. And we talked about Risk… more specifically the transferring of Risk. Jill is the Long Term Care Specialist with LLIS, which objective is to recommend the best solutions for your clients based on their individual needs, using low-load permanent life insurance and annuities when possible. I’ve often used LLIS when recommending coverage for a client of mine. This was an informative episode that I’m sure you all will enjoy as much as I did!

Wine and Dime Episode 65 - Planning a Wedding "Becky Style" with Becky Partridge-Eason
Hello again Wine and Dime listeners! In this episode, I have the pleasure of speaking with Becky Partridge-Eason. Becky is a financial planner with us here at Rooted Planning Group and describes herself as “frugal”. During the episode we talk about the planning of her wedding, and boy did that term “frugal” help her save a ton. If you are planning a wedding or know someone who is, this episode is for you!

Lakewood Winery History
In 1951, the Stamp family moved to Lakewood Farm, a run-down peach and apple orchard on the west side of Seneca Lake. The next spring, they started planting grapes. The original grapes were those favored by the large wineries and grape juice companies. In the mid-80’s the family diversified to add some new varieties, with the hope of someday using them to make their own wines.
In 1988, Monty and Beverly Stamp and their children pressed the grapes for their first vintage.
A Vision Realized
Lakewood Vineyards Winery opened to the public in June 1989 with 7 varieties of wine, made from estate-grown grapes from their 45 acres of vineyards.
Today, with 80 acres of vineyards and 3 Stamp family generations working together, the winery produces a diverse selection of wines. Their dedicated and talented team prides themselves on offering Finger Lakes wines of exceptional quality and value.
2017 Abby Rose
Our best-selling sweet wine, this long-time favorite is named after our winemaker’s oldest daughter Abby. A fun, fruity wine, Abby Rose is also a great base for sangria.

Wine and Dime Episode 63 - Supporting the Apples of the World with Breanna Reish
In this episode of Wine and Dime, I chat with my dear friend Breanna Reish. Breanna is a certified financial planner with Wealth of Confidence, which is a fee only firm located in California.

So sit on back, pop open your favorite wine and enjoy the show!

"My true purpose as a financial planner is to create an inviting environment where you are encouraged to discuss your money without judgment, to learn about your investments in a way you enjoy and become more comfortable managing your money with confidence"
I grew up in a family that lived with what we needed and didn't have a lot left over for luxury. At the age of 14, I realized that making money meant that I would have the opportunity to buy what I wanted and do what I wanted so I started working and saving. Knowing I had money in the bank for when I would need it gave me great confidence and provided a sense of safety and security. My passion for sharing these core principles with others led me to my role as a financial planner, but I was wearing rose-colored glasses
While I was here to guide and educate, the industry was all about selling and products. It was an experience that was miserable for a lot of people, including myself. As I watched this process I could see how many people felt that most discussions revolved around product and investments and left out true desires and goals. This was totally unacceptable to me. I knew that the financial world was confusing to navigate, left out strategy outside of investments, and felt like a used-car lot instead of a true fiduciary environment.
Wealth of Confidence was created after 9 years of working with clients. It was finally time to combine my passion for planning with my purpose to break the mold and offer a great experience for you.
One Million Apples Podcast
The Mission & The Name
Every day, across the United States, teachers are taken advantage of financially. People are using deceptive practices to work with you, the people that educate our children. They are not only going after your hard earned money they are robbing you of your trust and confidence in your overall financial well-being. This has to stop!
While we would love more regulation, it does not guarantee an overall change. As you know EDUCATION has the potential to do great things. That is how this passion project started, to teach teachers all about their money.
Heavy stuff, right?
That is why we decided to lighten it up a bit and touch on other fun topics, trends, lifestyle, career issues and more.
Why One Million Apples?
There are between 4-5 million teachers in the K-12 and higher education system across the United States. Our mission is to impact the lives of at least ONE million.
You would not be the first to think that is crazy, we are a little overwhelmed with that number as well. That is why we are asking for your help to accomplish this mission. If you hear, read or watch something helpful on this site, please tell your friends. Also, let us know that you're here; we'd love to measure our progress along the way.

Decoy Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon
Since 1978, Duckhorn Vineyards has been exploring the character and complexity of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. Drawing on our winemaking team’s expertise working with this varietal, Decoy Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon offers a rich and appealing expression of the varietal crafted to be ready upon release.
WINE PROFILE
Production Notes
Varietal Content: 88% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Merlot, 2% Petit Verdot, 1% Petite Sirah, 1% Cabernet Franc; Winemaking: 90% French oak, 10% American oak, 40% New, 60% Neutral
Winemaker Notes
Displaying the lushness and balance that define great Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon, this inviting wine features layers of blackberry and black cherry, along with notes of mocha, star anise and spearmint. On the palate, the juicy, bright fruit flavors are framed by rich, refined tannins that carry the wine to a satisfying finish.
Production
The 2016 growing season began with generous winter rains, followed by a spring and summer marked by moderate temperatures and abundant sunshine. Like several recent vintages, the 2016 harvest came early, delivering exquisite quality grapes. After the modest size crop of 2015, 2016 saw a welcome return to average yields. Overall, the 2016 whites show an ideal combination of lovely richness and excellent natural acidity, while the reds are lush and complex, with beautiful color and concentration.

Wine and Dime Episode 61 - Earth Day Made Easy with Anna Reger
In honor of Earth Day, I had the opportunity to speak with Anna Reger. Anna is a professor at Alfred State College, and teaches accounting, which is near and dear to my heart. In this episode of Wine and Dime, Anna and I explore different ways to be more eco-friendly and she shares her husbands Gluten Free Pizza recipe (Full recipe below). This was a great conversation and some great tips. So pop open a bottle of your favorite wine and enjoy this fantastic episode.
Lakewood Full Monty Riesling
While the nose is subdued, the palate of this semidry Riesling offers loads of fresh peach and yellow-cherry flavors. It's crisply balanced with fresh lime acidity and a brisk revitalizing finish.
Riesling Wine
Riesling is a light-skinned, aromatic grape of German origin which is – if the majority of top wine critics are to be believed – the world's finest white wine grape variety.
For many, the claim above may seem at odds with the sea of chaptalized, low-quality wine exported from Germany in the late 20th Century. In truth, very little of that infamous wine was Riesling at all, but instead higher-yielding grapes such as Müller-Thurgau and Silvaner), but the reputation has nonetheless stuck. Riesling has also been stereotyped as just a sweet grape, used only to make sticky wines. But while botrytized Rieslings are among the finest sweet wines in the world, the majority of global Riesling wines are either dry or off-dry.
McCarthy’s Gluten Free Pizza
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
Mix your warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for a minute to dissolve.
In a separate bowl, mix together flour and salt. Next add the olive oil, egg, vinegar, and yeast mixture. You can use an electric mixer, but we just have a hand mixer and that works fine.
Mix on low for 1 minute.
Oil your spatula and hands, then use them to get the dough in to a ball.
Spread the dough on to an oiled heavy duty cookie sheet.
Bake for 8 minutes or so, long enough for the dough to be firm, but not golden brown.
Remove the sheet from the oven and add your toppings. Then bake it for another 8 minutes (or until its crispy to your liking.)
Pour a glass of wine and enjoy!
Notes:
-The dough is sticky, make sure your hands are oiled when handling the dough and oil the cookie sheet first.
-The Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free 1-to-1 is key! This is a flour blend that can be used as a flour replacement in just about any recipe. (Don’t confuse this flour with Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free General Purpose flour, it’s not the same thing.) We use it for pizza, cookies, and pancakes – anything!
-We have tried both a thin crust and a thicker crust – both work well.
Ingredients:
¾ cup warm water
1 tablespoon of sugar
1 packet of yeast
2 cups of Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free 1-to 1 flour (this flour is the KEY!)
1 teaspoon of salt
1 large egg
1 tablespoon of olive oil
1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar ( we use Bragg’s)

Wine and Dime Episode 60 - Faith in Action Executive Director, Dick Russell
This weeks guest, Dick Russell, is a long time friend as well as the director of one of my passion "projects" - Faith-in-Action. I first met Dick in 2005 when I found out about the organization and wanted to help in the cause to keep people in their home for as long as possible. Many people have to move out of their long-term home simply because they could no longer drive, and this organization is helping to combat this.
As you will hear, Dick, and his family, are givers; the true meaning of givers in fact. They have served their communities in so many ways and continue to do so. If you are interested in getting involved in this organization go to http://www.fiasteuben.org/ or call @ (607) 324-1138

WHO WE ARE
At a time when our need to reach out to each other is greatest, Faith in Action Steuben County, an interfaith volunteer care-giving program, stands ready to help in the Steuben County Area. Our trained volunteers provide supportive services to the elderly at no charge.
OUR MISSION
Faith in Action Steuben County is a coalition of congregations, civic groups, and communities united to serve the elderly, assisting them to continue to live independently. We seek to augment, not replace, the individual's existing care structure. This support is provided at no cost to the recipients, by selfless volunteers who give care to people in need.
Dr. Konstantin Frank Winery
The Generational Approach
Our approach to great winemaking is generational with each Frank family member building upon the foundation that Dr. Konstantin Frank built over fifty years ago. Continuing this legacy means producing the highest quality wines from the highest quality grapes.
Video: Terroir at Dr. Konstantin Frank Winery
We believe that quality starts in the vineyards with careful attention to detail and nurturing of our old vine vineyards first planted by Konstantin in 1958. These old vine vineyards are among the oldest in the United States. While they produce fewer grapes, the quality of the fruit results in more complex wines.
Over the years, we have discovered that the northern European grape varieties are most well suited for our region and have made it our passion to champion these varieties at our winery. Varieties such as Riesling, Gewürztraminer, Pinot Noir and most recently, Grüner Veltliner are among the most prized and beloved at our winery.
Our world class team of winemakers are a huge piece of the puzzle here. The team consists of winemakers from New York, California, Australia and Germany. Each team member contributes expertise from their respective region, adhering to the Frank family tradition of excellence.
Continuing Konstantin's legacy also means continuing to spread the word about the quality of Finger Lakes wines. We do this by entering wine competitions all over the world. Customers can also find our wines in many different states. Experience has taught us over the past fifty years that our wine region is and can become one of the most prestigious in the world.
Overview -
Dr. Konstantin Frank Riesling, Dry (2017)
Composition:
100% Riesling
Vinification:
The grapes were picked in the early morning to retain freshness, de-stemmed, and pressed immediately. Once pressed, the grapes were fermented in stainless steel tanks at low temperatures to preserve the more delicate characteristics and freshness. The wine rests on its fine lees for 5 months before bottling.
The Wine:
An expressive style with dominant characters of minerality, grapefruit, lime and soft apricot. The crisp lime-driven acidity enhances the distinct Keuka Lake minerality, rounded by stone fruit and ginger. Our Riesling finishes long and mouthwatering balanced perfectly with a slightly weighty texture.

Wine and Dime Episode 59 - From Teacher to Financial Planner with Ryan Frailich
In this episode of Wine and Dime I chat with Ryan Frailich of Deliberate Finances.

Before becoming a fee-only financial planner, I worked as a teacher and then as a school administrator overseeing HR, including recruiting and hiring teachers. Working in HR revealed a lot about the financial lives of employees, and that’s where the lightbulb went off:
Too many people feel overwhelmed with their finances, always wondering if they're making mistakes. And too many people who want help are taken advantage of or shut out by our financial institutions.
I changed careers, earned a certificate in financial planning from L.S.U., became a CFP® professional, and started Deliberate Finances.
When not working, I’m exploring New Orleans with my wife & young son, running or biking around the city, or watching way too many hours of tragic Minnesota sports teams.
Buffalo Trace Whiskey
Ancient buffalo carved paths through the wilderness that led American pioneers and explorers to new frontiers. One such trail led to the banks of the Kentucky River where Buffalo Trace Distillery has been making bourbon whiskey the same way for more than 200 years. In tribute to the mighty buffalo and the rugged, independent spirit of the pioneers who followed them, we created our signature Buffalo Trace Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey.
TASTING NOTES:
This deep amber whiskey has a complex aroma of vanilla, mint and molasses. Pleasantly sweet to the taste with notes of brown sugar and spice that give way to oak, toffee, dark fruit and anise. This whiskey finishes long and smooth with serious depth.
