Your faithful lifestyle scribe penned the “Upfront” piece in the January-February edition of Tasting Panel Magazine. The profile of Hanna Winery and Vineyards president Chris Hanna is part of an issue-wide “Women in Wine” theme also featuring photos by Flash Lely.

Though she produces other varietals, she has yet to release a barbera, which I personally think could to lead to some interesting synergies in the world of animation. Get it? Hanna-Barbera.
