SoCal Restaurant Show May 10, 2025 Hour 1

“The unusual business model for veteran winemaker Marco Cappelli of Cappelli Wine in Placerville, CA had been taking form in his mind for many years and when a circa 1895 building in the historic district of downtown Placerville came up for sale, he and his wife Belinda knew it was time to give the Tasting Room business a try. While he continues to work for noteworthy local wineries as a distinguished consulting winemaker, he spends much of his day introducing locals to his rotating selection of delicious, hand-crafted small batch and single-vineyard wines priced for everyday drinking.” Patrons even are rewarded with a $2 credit when they return an empty bottle. Marco Cappelli is our guest gently pulling the cork on all that is Cappelli Wine.

“Long Beach Cambodian Restaurant Week (May 18th through 25th) is organized by the United Cambodian Community and supported by Long Beach Food & Beverage, a California registered 501(c)3 non-profit. Long Beach Cambodian Restaurant Week will pay homage to the unique foods of its vast Cambodian community. This event is an opportunity to support local Cambodia Town restaurants during this challenging time while food lovers get to eat, drink, and try new places. Featured eateries will offer a Long Beach Cambodian Restaurant Week special or offer feature $5, $10, $15 and $20 menus at participating Cambodian restaurants and food businesses across the city!”

The well-established Phnom Penh Noodle Shack is, again, a participating restaurant in Long Beach Cambodian Restaurant Week. Second generation proprietor Mo Tan, representing the Tan Family, joins us with what’s on their menu.
