👋 Hi Mika and all. I stumbled upon your 'stack on Notes. We are of similar descent. I’m Irish-Italian, but live in San Francisco.
✍️ Musings (http://gemello.substack.com) I write about wine history and longevity secrets, wrapped around two lovable people, winemaker Mario Gemello and his centenarian widow, Kay. They are my maternal grandparents. I started out writing about how Mario launched the winery during the Great Depression. Then during the pandemic lockdown, I realized Grandma Kay, at 99, had quite a story herself.
💬My Tip: My most productive writing time is in the morning during or after a cup of ☕️.
Where is this winery? I’m so fascinated with longevity. I can’t wait to read!
The winery was in Mountain View, Calif, from 1934 - 1990, the heart of Silicon Valley. But the stories live on. 😊
