WOW!! What an interview with the incomparable Jon Simmons of Hugo's Cellar restaurant in the 4 Queens, downtown Freemont Street in Las Vegas. Jon shares not only his knowledge and approach to wine, but boy, oh boy, does he have some amazing stories of Las Vegas, the mob, Sinatra...just to name drop a few! This episode is longer than most, but you will be captivated by his amazing career, and his no-nonsense, down to earth approach on wine! I just wish we could keep on going. We definitely left the door open for another visit...plus we LOVE going to Hugo's Cellar, so any excuse is a good excuse, but this is the BEST excuse ever!
From great historical perspective, to sensible advice on ordering the "right" wine, this is a don't miss episode.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
