Swirl, Sip & Banter – The Sposato Experience From landscaping at the Delaware beaches to making wine in the mountains of Argentina… wait, WHAT?! This week on Beachfront Banter, Frank and Adam sit down with Karen Sposato of Sposato Family Vineyards to uncork the story behind one of our area's favorite family businesses! How does a local landscaping company end up producing incredible wines halfway around the world? Well, as Karen might tell you, once you love playing in the dirt, it doesn't really matter where you play! Join the Blokes and Karen as they talk family, business, local favorites, and the adventures that turned a passion for the land into a passion for wine. Of course, they'll be sampling some of Sposato's finest along the way, so expect plenty of laughs, a little wine education, and absolutely no shortage of banter! By the end, you might even learn to swirl your wine like Karen… although we can't promise Frank and Adam will master it!You can also listen on:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7wlzAd0...Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...PodBean: https://www.podbean.com/pw/pbblog-9cc...Amazon Music/Audible: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/634...iHeartRadio: https://iheart.com/podcast/297631656

Red Cedar Farms: No Cows, Just Wows! With Frank and Adam! This week on Beachfront Banter, Frank and Adam are heading to the greatest community on Earth! Well, at least according to Frank. 😉 Welcome to Red Cedar Farms, one of Schell Brothers’ newest communities, located in Milford, Delaware, just north of the beaches, south of Dover, and smack dab in the middle of an exciting and growing area! Join us as we explore the community, check out the floor plans, discover some incredible homesites, and share what makes Red Cedar Farms such a unique place to call home. Of course, it wouldn't be Beachfront Banter without a few laughs, some friendly jabs, and a little unscripted fun along the way. And apparently, this community is SO captivating that Adam can't take his eyes off the screen! Seriously, Adam, we're filming a podcast here! Pull up a chair, grab a drink, and come see what all the excitement is about at Red Cedar Farms. No script. Just stories… Maybe a little shameless self-promotion from Frank.

More Than a Tour… It’s a Parade! This week on Beachfront Banter, Frank and Adam are talking about something that has never been done before in Delaware—a Schell Brothers Parade of Homes at Monarch! We’re opening the doors to four one-of-a-kind model homes, but trust us, this is going to be about a whole lot more than countertops and Frank pretending he understands interior design. Throughout the Parade, three special ticketed events will bring together local food, live music, beer, spirits, and plenty of reasons to stick around after the home tours are over. Even better, 100% of the proceeds from the ticketed events will go to charity, so you can eat, drink, have a great time, and actually feel good about all of it. Come explore Monarch, check out some incredible homes, support local businesses, and be part of a Schell Brothers first. More than a tour… it’s a Parade—and you’re invited!
