Tastelive Announces Cafe 140 Interactive Wedcast Series

TasteLive announced today that it will launch Cafe 140 - the interactive webcast series...with taste on Wednesday, May 16th in association with Heritage Public House at Santa Rosa Vintners' Square and Smiling Tiger Video. Hosted each month by wine industry veteran communicator and event producer Joel Quigley, the series will feature winemakers, brew masters, chefs, musical artists, and other lifestyle products with taste. Santa Rosa Vintners' Square's new Heritage Public House, in addition to The Wineyard, have been wired for turn-key interactive webcasts and live music, and also includes kitchen facilities.

"When it comes to interactive webcasts, TasteLive has been nomadic since adding live streaming to our platform several years ago, producing events at locations and cities around the world," said Cailyn McCauley, managing director at TasteLive. "Now, with Heritage Public House's state-of-the-art production equipment and excellent hospitality services, we can easily produce turn-key events for clients and host our new Cafe 140 series."

TasteLive's Cafe 140 inaugural webcast goes live on Wednesday, May 16th from 6:00pm to 7:00pm PT. Special guest winemaker Patrick Krutz of Krutz Family Cellars and House Band Wines will showcase four select wines. Sonoma County Chef John Lyle, known in for his seasonal pop-up dinners in support charitable projects, is handling food pairings, while singer-songwriter John Pita will share songs from his new EP Color My World. Wines, recipes and music will be advanced to a select panel of lifestyle bloggers, who will join the event virtually from across the U.S. The webcast is expected to push to more than 50,000 Twitter followers.

Additionally, with new expanded hours to include Wednesdays at Heritage Public House beginning on May 9th, guests are invited to join the live studio audience at 1305-A Cleveland Avenue in Santa Rosa, California. Heritage Public House, which specializes in California craft brews, will have its nano- and mirco-brews and the show's featured wines available for purchase during the webcast and the evening mixer that follows. For reservations call (707) 540-0395.

"I've spent my 20-year career mixing adult beverages, food and music in what I've always hoped were dynamic settings to create memorable moments," said creator and host, Joel Quigley. "With this in mind, we plan to have a lot of fun educating and entertaining with Cafe 140. We'll be kicking off the series with a regional focus, featuring colleagues and co-conspirators, and then expand the programming organically over time."

Cafe 140 webcasts will take place on the 3rd Wednesday of each month, with some variation around special events and holidays. Winemakers, brew masters, chefs, musical artists, artisans with tasteful, relevant products, and companies interested in sponsorship are encouraged to contact Cafe 140 at (707) 495.0831 or email cafe140@creativefurnace.com.
