Darcy Kramlich Senior Marketing Strategist - Marcom Associates
Darcy Kramlich is a Business and Marketing Strategist as well as a fine artist with over 20 years of successful experience in business development for a variety of start-up and rapidly evolving companies. She grew up in Detroit, Michigan and as a child she always knew she wanted to be an artist but she wasn’t sure as to what capacity it would be in. Once out of school she decided to use her creative abilities in the advertising sector and opened up a marketing business. She has since spent that last twenty years of her life in the field of marketing and creative design specializing in corporate branding. Although she has enjoyed a successful career in her field she managed to carve out time now and then to paint the large format paintings she is most known for. Along with her art Darcy has always enjoyed wine and found it to be a great accompaniment to music and painting…the more she painted the more she enjoyed wine until one day she decided to take her love of wine to another level and start really learning about it. As she started learning more and more about wine she realized that there were many other people like her that loved wine too and wanted to learn more about it…but in a fun and non-intimidating environment. That’s when she decided to combine her marketing and artistic talents with her love of wine in order to create "LovetoWine.com" an online resource where members can search, share and save wine labels into their virtual online cellar as well as read short but informative articles about wine. Keeping things light, entertaining, informative yet simple are the key components Darcy focuses on while using her creative skills to build a website in which members can take a break from all the noise sit back and enjoy…and maybe even have a nice glass of wine while they explore!

Yvette Garfield author and founder of the Handstand Kids Cookbook Co.
Yvette had the idea of creating the Handstand Kids on a very long flight back from India. She wanted to bring back cookbooks for her little cousins, but was discouraged when unable to find any for children. Upon her return to the US, she began brainstorming on how to introduce children to international foods in a fun and hands-on way. The Handstand Kids books are the perfect recipe for kids to learn how to cook, while learning about the people, places, and language of a new country. It is Yvette’s hope that children will be inspired to use their new cooking skills to give back to their own communities. Yvette is a recent law school graduate who has a strong interest in international children's rights. She has worked with various non-profit organizations and the Department of Justice, Children's Rights Section. Yvette's favorite food from the Mexican cookbook is the Enchiladas! She loves making it for her friends and family.

Janet Trefethen CEO Trefethen Family Vineyards (Auction Napa Valley)
As one of the first women CEO’s of an American corporation, Janet Trefethen could not have picked a worse industry to get started in. “I got laughed out of so many offices,” she remembers with a rueful smile. “When you called on an account in the early 1970’s, trying to sell California wine, that was usually enough. But when they learned that the woman in front of them was not only a salesperson but the Chief Executive Officer of the company, they generally went into hysterics.” Janet took it all in stride, though. She had learned to shrug off life’s little indignities a long time ago.
John D. Harrison - Official Ice Cream Taster
OFFICIAL TASTER FOR DREYER’S AND EDY’S ICE CREAMS
John Harrison has more than 40 years of experience in the ice cream industry. His interest and expertise in ice cream stems from his family tree where four generations of his family members were involved in the industry. In his youth, ice cream was his favorite dessert; during his college years, he worked (and tasted) his way through college at his uncle's ice cream plant in Tennessee. Harrison joined Dreyer’s Grand Ice Cream in 1982. Prior to his position with Dreyer’s, marketed under the Edy’s brand name in all states east of the Rockies, he was with Dari-Tech, an ingredient supplier, for 12-years, where he was the National Sales Manager. During that time he also assisted as an independent consultant for Dreyer’s new flavor formulas. In addition to Harrison's technical background, he also is an ice cream history and trivia buff. Answering questions ranging from fun facts on the history of ice cream to current trends toward decadent ice cream indulgences is just an added benefit to Harrison's job. His expertise is so crucial to Dreyer’s and Edy’s that his taste buds are insured for a cool $1 million. He has traveled throughout North and South America, visiting every ice cream plant on both continents and tasted more than a million gallons of ice cream during his career.

From grocery aisles to restaurant booths to boardrooms, Cardello reveals the hidden forces that have long shaped your supermarket purchases and menu selections. He examines the black-and-white mindset that has produced the carefully targeted marketing strategies that have maximized profits for the food industry and led to weight gain for you.

Janet Trefethen CEO Trefethen Family Vineyards (Auction Napa Valley)
As one of the first women CEO’s of an American corporation, Janet Trefethen could not have picked a worse industry to get started in. “I got laughed out of so many offices,” she remembers with a rueful smile. “When you called on an account in the early 1970’s, trying to sell California wine, that was usually enough. But when they learned that the woman in front of them was not only a salesperson but the Chief Executive Officer of the company, they generally went into hysterics.” Janet took it all in stride, though. She had learned to shrug off life’s little indignities a long time ago.
John D. Harrison - Official Ice Cream Taster
OFFICIAL TASTER FOR DREYER’S AND EDY’S ICE CREAMS
John Harrison has more than 40 years of experience in the ice cream industry. His interest and expertise in ice cream stems from his family tree where four generations of his family members were involved in the industry. In his youth, ice cream was his favorite dessert; during his college years, he worked (and tasted) his way through college at his uncle's ice cream plant in Tennessee. Harrison joined Dreyer’s Grand Ice Cream in 1982. Prior to his position with Dreyer’s, marketed under the Edy’s brand name in all states east of the Rockies, he was with Dari-Tech, an ingredient supplier, for 12-years, where he was the National Sales Manager. During that time he also assisted as an independent consultant for Dreyer’s new flavor formulas. In addition to Harrison's technical background, he also is an ice cream history and trivia buff. Answering questions ranging from fun facts on the history of ice cream to current trends toward decadent ice cream indulgences is just an added benefit to Harrison's job. His expertise is so crucial to Dreyer’s and Edy’s that his taste buds are insured for a cool $1 million. He has traveled throughout North and South America, visiting every ice cream plant on both continents and tasted more than a million gallons of ice cream during his career.

House of Seven Gables - Salem, MA
Caroline Emmerton, a philanthropist and preservationist, founded The House of the Seven Gables Settlement Association to assist immigrant families who were settling in Salem. Inspired by Jane Addam’s Hull House, she purchased what was the old Turner Mansion in 1908 and worked with architect, Joseph Everett Chandler to restore it to its original seven gables. Chandler was a central figure in the early 20th century historic preservation movement and his philosophy influenced the way the house was preserved. Emmerton’s goal was to preserve the house for future generations, to provide educational opportunities for visitors, and to use the proceeds from the tours to fund her settlement programs. Thanks to Emmerton and Chandler, the Turner-Ingersoll Mansion, known popularly as The House of the Seven Gables, has survived with many of its original period features from the 17th and 18th century! This first period and Georgian architectural “fabric” is today considered significant to American architectural, maritime, and cultural history

Barbara Balik - Director of Special Giving Cystic Fibrosis
The 20th Annual Culinary Evening with the California Winemasters Saturday, May 16th, 2009 6PM at Warner Bros., "Midwest Street". Cystic fibrosis remains North America’s number one inherited disease killer of children and young adults. Left untreated, the disease leads rapidly to malnutrition, chronic lung infection and death in the first decade of life. With 999 mutations of the cystic fibrosis gene, this is the only disease that can affect every major organ in the body. It is therefore extremely likely that many of the therapies currently being developed for CF will also have application for a number of other diseases affecting the health of millions of people worldwide.

Barbara Balik - Director of Special Giving Cystic Fibrosis
The 20th Annual Culinary Evening with the California Winemasters Saturday, May 16th, 2009 6PM at Warner Bros., "Midwest Street". Cystic fibrosis remains North America’s number one inherited disease killer of children and young adults. Left untreated, the disease leads rapidly to malnutrition, chronic lung infection and death in the first decade of life. With 999 mutations of the cystic fibrosis gene, this is the only disease that can affect every major organ in the body. It is therefore extremely likely that many of the therapies currently being developed for CF will also have application for a number of other diseases affecting the health of millions of people worldwide.
Bill Kurtis - A&E; Cold Case; American Justice; ATT; Tall Grass
The primary obstacle standing in the way of the grass-fed beef revolution is how to consistently deliver quality beef that tastes delicious. Here at Tallgrass, our cattle are derived from special genetic stock whose origins are verified and fully traceable . We’ve given a whole new meaning to the word ‘thorough’. We use ultrasound technology to safely and humanely see inside the living animal, and to detect the right amount of marbling and muscle to produce the most tender, best-tasting beef there is.

Larry Lipson - Costa Rica wine correspondent

Violet Grgich - Grgich Hills Estate Co-proprietor; VP of Operations & Sales -
Violet’s passion for wine began at an early age, as she literally grew up accompanying her father in the vineyards and cellar. She spent her summers at the winery, doing everything from bottling line work to laboratory analysis and working in the tasting room. Attending the University of California, Davis, Violet earned a BA in music while taking classes in biology, chemistry, and enology. After graduation, she returned home to Grgich Hills to continue her education in the wine business, learning about daily operations of the winery from Mike. She received her Master of Music in harpsichord at Indiana University, and then joined the winery full-time in 1988. She’s now responsible for daily management of the winery, as well as sales and marketing. She says that she has the ideal job: “I believe that wine is part of a healthy, happy and long life. Wine brings people together and makes them happy, which makes my job extraordinarily fulfilling.” Involved with every aspect of the wine business, Violet enjoys wearing many different hats, often at the same time. She explains, “My dad insisted that in order to lead the winery I needed to work at every single position, starting at the bottom.” Violet continues to enjoy learning something new each day and following her grandfather’s and father’s philosophy of “Every day do something just a little better.” Violet is pleased that the next generation has joined the winery: Noel Grgich Shipman, her son born in 2005, accompanies her on sales trips, and enjoys every minute of it.
Nancy Gardella, Exec Dir - Martha's Vineyard Chamber of Commerce (MVCC)
The MVCC is unique in many ways, in that we are both the local Chamber of Commerce and also the local Visitors and Convention Bureau. We are also one of only six Regional Tourism Councils sanctioned by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Martha's Vineyard, New England's largest resort island, was formed by glacial action 10,000 years ago and lies 7 miles off the coast of Cape Cod, in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, USA. The Island is roughly triangular-shaped with its base the straight south shore. It is 9 miles wide and 23 miles long at its furthest points; the total land area is approximately 100 square miles. Martha's Vineyard has a total of 124.6 miles of tidal shoreline. There are six towns on the Island of Martha's Vineyard; three up-island towns, Aquinnah (formerly known as Gay Head), Chilmark, and West Tisbury; and three down-island towns, Vineyard Haven (also known as Tisbury) Oak Bluffs and Edgartown. The terms "up-island" and "down-island" are nautical terms referring to longitude on a map. To get here you can come by sea or by air. There are no land routes, bridges or tunnels connecting us to the mainland. Most travelers arrive via one of the numerous ferries that service our harbors. A lesser but growing number use the Martha's Vineyard airport as their point of entry traveling via Cape Air or chartered flight or via private plane. The leisurely ferry ride or flight from the mainland will prepare you for a wonderful change of pace. The sound of the ocean, the magnificent beaches and almost endless stretches of field and forest will complete the transition. So come to the Vineyard, and see why so many people believe this is truly a magical place.

Ivano Toscani - GM Anchor Bar - - Buffalo, NY
On a Friday night in 1964, Dominic Bellissimo was tending bar at the now famous Anchor Bar Restaurant in Buffalo, NY. Late that evening, a group of Dominic's friends arrived at the bar with ravenous appetites. Dominic asked his mother, Teressa, to prepare something for his friends to eat. They looked like chicken wings, a part of the chicken that usually went into the stock pot for soup. Teressa had deep fried the wings and flavored them with a secret sauce. The wings were an instant hit and it didn't take long for people to flock to the bar to experience this new taste sensation. From that evening on, Buffalo Wings became a regular part of the menu at the Anchor Bar. The phenomenon created in 1964 by Teressa Bellissimo has spread across the globe. Although many have tried to duplicate Buffalo Wings, the closely guarded secret recipe is what makes Frank & Teressa's the proclaimed "Best Wings in the World."
