This episode takes us to Trinity, North Carolina where we recorded with Leslie Zimmerman and Christie Otranto of Zimmerman Vineyards<\/a>! The vineyard and tasting room sit on a portion of the 140 acre homestead that Leslie purchased back in the late 1980s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the years, there have been many things to overcome. Leslie has focused on her three passions: her love of teaching, her family, and the vineyard. All three come together at the vineyard in surprising ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can definitely see it through her unique partnerships with local businesses, restaurants, artists, and musicians. All events at the vineyard create a great experience for visitors highlighting all that the local area has to offer. Leslie recognizes that what she does with wine is the same as what visual artists do in their medium and what musicians do in theirs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leslie’s Thoughts<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Through the years, I have recognized the connection between this business and the arts.\u00a0 Doing what I do in the world of wine is the same as what visual artists do in their medium and what musicians do in theirs.\u00a0 We all create something new and unique.\u00a0 Not only do I recognize this common thread between these mediums but honor it by hosting a string of top-shelf local songwriters to share their work and a bottle of wine with customers and fans.\u00a0 It\u2019s a perfect blend really!<\/p>Leslie Zimmerman, Zimmerman Vineyards<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n
