Thanks for hanging out on this Saturday. We welcome back to town a chef who is gonna take over this spot in Yonkville that's been sitting vacant for a while. Headline, Napa Valley's Somerston Estate to launch The Kitchen at Priest Ranch with executive chef Daniel Solomon. Chef Daniel Solomon previously worked in Napa at La Tocque and went on to do some other things. Now, what's this connection to Yonkville? Okay, the Priest Ranch Tasting Room, right? Really awesome place and some really great wine. Right next door, there was a little restaurant, just a little tiny place, closed a while back, and it's been closed for a while with a sign on the door that says, coming soon. Well, guess what? Now we have a little bit more information because the folks at Priest Ranch, which is part of Somerston, are opening up The Kitchen at Priest Ranch right there on the main drag in Yonkville. What are they gonna have as far as food and stuff? I really don't know. It's not a big kitchen, but they do have a lot of space there. They have a patio and a little upstairs and more, so who knows what we're gonna see. If you wanna get more information, thekitchenatpr, thekitchenatpr, and also that is their Instagram handle as well. They'll be having some updates there, and they say opening soon, like really, really. So we'll have to see. There are some great wines over at Priest Ranch. Happy to see this spot open for some food. Can't wait to see what the menu's like and give it a try as soon as possible. All right, thanks for hanging out with me today. It's the Wine Country Saturday Soundtrack.

I went to the movies, saw a movie. Gonna tell you about it just a little bit. No spoilers, though. So it's kinda hard to tell you the story about this movie without spoilers. Okay, the movie is Big George Foreman, or, alternate title, Big George Foreman, the Miraculous Story of the Once and Future Heavyweight Champion of the World. Yes, the George Foreman grill guy. That guy, the big, happy, silly, jolly guy that everybody loves. All right, well, it's his story. Growing up in the rough part of Houston, there's a Bay Area connection. I'm not gonna tell you what it is. He ended up being a boxer, but kind of like an angry guy, but very successful, very good at what he did. Later, faith became a really big part of his life, and for various reasons, he went back to boxing, but with a totally different attitude and approach and more. It's a really inspiring, uplifting movie. Definitely, you could take the kids to see this, or when it streams, you could gather all the kids around. I think there's lots of good lessons for adults and kids in this movie, and he's just a really interesting, lovable kinda guy. I really, really like this movie. It was great. The critics, they're kinda so-so on it. I think critics like sad, disaster movies about people, but this one is not. This one's super uplifting and super awesome about a really great guy, and yeah, there's a definite Bay Area connection. If you didn't know about it, well, you'll find out all about George Foreman, the guy behind the Foreman Grill, and much more. Yeah, he made some money off of that. Don't worry about it. Big George Foreman. Check it out if it's in the theaters, or look for it streaming near you. I'm Big Rick Stewart. It's the Wine Country Saturday Soundtrack.

This one is for all you Starbucks fans looking for a little something new. Have you tried that Starbucks olive oil in the coffee kind of thing going on? It's all right. I like olive oil, and I like coffee. What about both of them together? All right, so for the hot summer coming up, this is from the New York Post. Starbucks is getting caffeinated for a white hot summer, they say. They announced recently they have tuna drinks for their nationwide summer menu. This is a report from the National Restaurant News, so I mean, that sounds official. One of the refreshing treats Starbucks is now selling is a white chocolate macadamia cream cold brew. Depending on the size, it can be 170 or 330 calories made with their own cold brew and all the other stuff that they add into it. Okay. The second option is a chocolate java mint frappuccino. Could have 340 calories. Could have 600 calories. They say copying flavors of sweet chocolate and refreshing mint blended with rich frappuccino chips for a smooth treat finished with a layer of mocha sauce. Oh my God. Or I guess you could go have a milkshake. I don't know. All right, so there's a couple of new things to try at Starbucks. Olive oil on the side, maybe? I don't know, that's your call. I'm Big Rick Stewart. It's the Wine Country Saturday Soundtrack. Fun music and great information right here at 99.3thevine.com. Hey, it's the Wine Country Saturday Soundtrack. I'm Big Rick Stewart. Thanks for hanging out with me today. It's where we hang out and have fun music and great information. Here's some information for you content creators. If you're a job maybe or just for your fun and your social media. If you're trying to make some videos for TikTok, Snapchat, Instagram, YouTube, I don't know, Facebook, maybe just for friends or whatever. There's a free app, but it's only for iPhones, just so you know that. If you have an iPhone, check out Rode Capture. R-O-D-E, Rode Capture. They make microphones, but now they have an app as well for video for your camera on your phone. Actually for both cameras. Now if you have one of their microphones, you can do things like adjust lots of different settings if you're in a noisy environment, if you wanna have something a little louder, whatever. There's a ton of different adjustments for that. But also, lots of different adjustments for the video on your phone. And you're thinking, I already can do some of this stuff. Okay, yeah, but this is really good. And it's free, and that's just amazing. You can use both cameras, so the selfie camera and the other main camera. You can have picture-in-picture video recorded. You can have video that is equal size, right? You can also record each video stream, the selfie stream and the other one, as its own video. So you can edit those together later on if you're getting really deep into all this. Frame rates go from 24 to 60 frames per second. Resolution goes from 720, 1280, all the way up to 2160 by 3840. That's a big deal when you start editing things. There's just a ton of different adjustments and things to do. And plus, like I said, it's free. Gotta love it. If you have a Rode microphone, it works even better. I don't have one, but I've been playing around with the video part of this. It's pretty awesome. And for iPhones, it's called Rode Capture.

You might know about him as well, but maybe you didn't know that he's from Dixon, California, just over the hill. If you go over up to like Sacramento and you go from Napa and you go through Dixon, like blink, done, there's like a fruit produce stand and then there's not a whole lot of other things there. But it's a really cool place, actually. I like going to the Dixon area. It's a little before Davis, just so you know. All right, so the guy we're talking about is named Jonathan Ryan Pardee. His official name in his entertainment world is John Pardee. He grew up in Dixon, went to Dixon High School, graduated in 2003. And now he lives in Nashville where he's a pretty successful musician. You might have heard some of his songs. He's had lots of big hits out there, including Dirt on My Boots and more. All right, so John Pardee is at the Stagecoach Festival, which is the festival that happens at the same place Coachella happens. It's just the two weeks after the two weeks of Coachella. It's pretty good month to be hanging out in Palm Springs, right? So he's on stage and as he's on stage, he gets invited to be a member. This is a big deal of the Grand Ole Opry. I mean, with some of the legendary names of country music. It's very exclusive. You have to kind of be invited by a member and voted in and all this deal like that. So John Pardee, of course he's like, yeah, I'm gonna do that. So he was in high school in Dixon. He leaves, he goes to Nashville. He's had a pretty good career. And now one of our locals is an official member of the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, Tennessee. Well, that's pretty cool. I like local success stories and there's one of them for you right now. Good job, John. Hey, it's the Wine Country Saturday Soundtrack. Fun music and great information right here at 993thevine.com. It's the Wine Country Saturday Soundtrack. Fun music and great information with me, Big Rick Stewart. Saw this story at the Hollywood Reporter. See, I read all these things. I'm trying to look for good stuff for you. Fernando Valenzuela, TV series in the works. This is from the Hollywood Reporter. The first line of the story is, Fernando mania is coming back. Now, if you're an auto race Formula One fan, you might think of Fernando Alonso. No, this goes way back. This goes way, way back to the 80s. The guy who played for the Dodgers. So, okay, I know Giants fans, you didn't like him back then, but you kind of gotta love his story, right? And I'm still looking forward to this. There was Fernando mania, and it was a really big deal. I mean, especially, of course, Dodgers fans, but kind of everybody came on board because you kind of had to root for this guy. The producers described this limited TV series as the first time Fernando Valenzuela has ever told his story. It'll follow the legendary Dodgers pitcher from his time playing on dirt fields in rural Mexico to winning the World Series in 1981 and changing baseball forever. He got into Major League Baseball in 1981. He won his first eight games, and his earned run average was 0.5. How about that? His rookie year, he was the Rookie of the Year and also the Cy Young Award winner, the first player to ever do that, and won the World Series, and it was just a big deal. He was kind of like a total underdog, and he came through and everybody loved him, and so we're gonna love him even more. Fernando's involved in the project. He says, I am honored to be able to tell my story, my experiences in my own words. This is gonna be a great story. Don't know quite exactly where it's gonna be shown yet. They didn't announce a streaming partner for it, but we know that it will be somewhere sometime, the story of Fernando Valenzuela. Break out those Wheaties boxes. That was a big deal. I had a friend of mine in college that collected them. He was a Dodger fan, what can I say? I'm Big Rick Stewart. It's the Wine Country Saturday soundtrack.
