Homegrown Wines, Culinary Pairings, and Community at the New Jersey Wine Expo LIVE

Exploring Homegrown Wines, Culinary Pairings, and Community at New Jersey’s Wine Expo LIVE

Welcome to another episode of Beats Vines & Life! This week, we're coming to you LIVE from the energetic halls of the New Jersey Wine Expo at Bell Works in Holmdel, New Jersey. Hosted by MJ Towler and joined by a dynamic crew including industry guests like Devon Perry, Ed Wengryn, Hank Zona, Sharyn Kervyn, Edward Miller, Vanessa Hoffman, Lisa Granik MW, and Chef Rich Krug, this episode dives deep into the heart of New Jersey’s emerging wine scene.

We’ll take you behind the scenes as state agriculture leaders discuss the crossroads of farming, hospitality, and winemaking. You'll hear the story of local innovation and resilience, from producers embracing homegrown grapes, to chefs weaving New Jersey wines into their menus, and wine journalists chronicling the state’s evolving identity on the global map.

Together, we explore themes of local pride, collaboration across industries, the movement toward “farm-to-glass,” and—of course—the sheer joy of sharing a glass among friends, all while celebrating the diversity and roots of Jersey viticulture. Whether you’re passionate about wine, food, music, or simply living well, join us for an episode that captures the spirit of community, creativity, and connection that make the Garden State’s wine revolution worth raising your glass to.
