Voyager Food & Wine Cast

In January of 2023, Jordy embarked on a solo mission across these United States to go pick up a horse trailer. Follow him on a spoken word journey into highway madness and self-reflection. Colorful characters, truck stop magik, and communing with nature will ensue. Remember: objects in mirror are closer than they appear. 

Jordy is on the road, chatting with potter and Sonoma winemaker Sam Barron of Kivelstadt Cellars. Cheeched out on herbs and dank juice, the dudes wax philosophic on a range of topics like surfing, the natty wine scene, pottery,  and everything in between. Come to Voyager on Wednesday May 31st to taste with Sam!

Jordy sits down with Chef Alexis Burgos. They nerd out on organ meat, beef, and fire... amongst other things. Get your tickets to our pop-up dinner  Gatto/Nero , happening Sunday October 30th.
