If you live in central California and you haven’t already seen THE SPIRIT OF NEW WINE, you can now find the entertaining documentary on KTEH’s Life Channel (Digital Channel 54.3).

At 12:30 p.m. on Sunday, January 3, the KTEH Life Channel will broadcast SWEETER THAN WINE, the second episode in THE SPIRIT OF NEW WINE trilogy. In this second episode, host Denise Ingrid Brickel examines the rising presence of wine in American culture, the role of women in winemaking, the relationship between wine, sensuality and love, and the aesthetic beauty of wine.

Brickel interviews women winemakers Sarah Quider and Aimee Sunseri, Napa writer and artist Jessel Miller, Claudia Sansone, television culinary expert, and others in search of answers to the question: what intangible elements does wine present that resemble our own invisible nature?

Founded in 1964, KTEH Public Television 54 (Comcast 10) broadcasts reach homes from San Jose to the Silicon Valley. In 2006, the KTEH Foundation merged with KQED, Inc. to form Northern California Public Broadcasting, the most-watched public television and most-listened-to public radio broadcaster in the country.
