Hospitality industry veterans, Max Trujillo and Matthew Weiss, get behind the scenes of North Carolina's burgeoning food and beverage culture. Hear from local chefs, sommelier's, distillers, farmers, brewers and the whole lot of them in the NC F&B podcast. 

"Our intention is to create a behind-the-scenes conversation between industry professionals. Whether we are speaking with an advanced level sommelier about their wine program or a chef about breaking down an entire pig, we just want the conversation to be real, unedited and honest. The food and beverage world is a unique industry, and North Carolina's food scene is growing everyday.

Take a listen. We hope to entertain, teach and inspire while offering some specific information about the NC food scene."

We sit down with the princess of the Vajra Winery Francesca Vajra, who produces the king of wines, Barolo. Vajra is arguably the most influential producer of Barolo and Piemonte wines in the last 15 years. Francesca visited NC and sat down with us to share the secrets to producing delicious Barolo. Francesca provides insight into how to respect your land and understand it's purpose. Oh, also how to work with and still love your family.
