Amber was drinking a Sauvignon Blanc from Inti. She really enjoyed this one even though she prefers a red over a white most days.

Then, Erika covers the kidnapping of Patricia “Patty” Campbell Hearst. Patty is the granddaughter of the American publishing magnate William Randolph Hearst. In 1974, she gets kidnapped by the Symbionese Liberation Army or the SLA. What she does while being held captive is what’s up for interpretation. Was she forced into partaking in some serious crimes, or did she participate willingly? Listen in and decide for yourself.
Erika was drinking a 2010 Reserve Chardonnay from Akiyoshi. Super tasty and refreshing!
