Q: If you were given one thousand acres of land that you didn’t need to pay taxes on but couldn’t sell, what would you do with it?

I’d turn it into an off-the-grid sustainable farm and a sanctuary for animals rescued from factory farms and animal testing facilities. 

Q: What wine grape most closely matches your personality?

Definitely Pinot Noir. As Miles says in the movie Sideways, “…it’s a hard grape to grow, as you know. It’s thin-skinned, temperamental. It’s not a survivor like Cabernet that can grow anywhere and thrive even when neglected. Pinot needs constant care and attention, you know?”
