Linda Stutz - Wine Maven
Her sunny smile traversed from Pennsylvania to West Virginia to D.C., ultimately landing in the wine country of Northern California. Linda and her partner Tom revitalized Maple Creek Winery and are living the dream of living off their passions. Her approach to wine is as down to earth as her approach to life.
The beautiful background of the ranch that surrounds Maple Creek is the perfect setting for this keen businesswoman who appreciates the simple things in life. Linda loves riding her horses, growing her vegetables and, of course, tasting the wines crafted there. If you ever get the chance, experience Linda's utopia in the Mendicino hills.

Tammy Algood (aka Becky-HomEcky)
Originally from Starkville, Mississippi, Tammy became a Nashvillian in 1989.
Tammy's title is Food Marketing Specialist with University of Tennessee Extension (think Hank Kimball, the County Agent on Green Acres - in female form), but her real talent is the fact that she never sweats. (This is a quality that fills Pam with complete wonderment.)
Brad and Beth met Tammy while working on TNN's "Cookin' USA", and thought that she and Pam would make very entertaining TV - we hope you think they were right.
Tammy's Passions:
* Queen of the Nerd Herd (Just kidding ... sort of!) - loves to sew, paint, decorate and do any type of home improvement project
* Cooking and hosting dinner parties
* Flower, herb and vegetable gardening
* Reading (NORMAL books ... not anything scary, supernatural or sci-fi)
* Walking and bike riding with her husband
* Sitting on her porch, patio, deck or in my gazebo with a glass of wine at the end of the day (she says that this is when her Mississippi roots sprout through her Nash Vegas exterior!)

Dallas Turner - Fast Friend
Pam & I became fast friends while attending college at West Virginia University.
Pam moved to Nashville first, then several years later drove to Atlanta to bring me to Nash Vegas. Since we moved my single-self to Music City, a lot has changed. I got a dog, a house, a husband, a kid and to Pam's biggest surprise---started doing projects around the house.
It was only seven or eight years ago that I painted for the first time. Now I have more painted rooms in various techniques to my credit than I ever dreamed possible. Pam and I tiled my first kitchen floor. And, I do other handy stuff now that I would have never thought of doing before.
Don't get me wrong, my husband is one handy guy when it comes to power tools, so I still let him do most of it, but now I know when I'm ready for a change, chances are I can get it done---or at least started. :)
