Wine and Dime Episode 29 - 13 and Life to Live with Donald Horack

In this episode of Wine and Dime, I had the pleasure of speaking a very astute 13 year old named Donald Horack. In some ways, Donald isn't your 13 year old kid. While he does enjoy many things a typical 13 year old enjoys, he also has interests that some adults don't have. In this interview, our conversation takes us from the G7 summit to Ronald Reagan, to his favorite Root Beer! (See below for that) I had a great time talking to Donald and I think we can learn a lot about the generation from this young man. Thank you for listening and enjoy the show!

Vigil's Root Beer

Great drinks don’t need fake ingredients. Virgil’s is all-natural. We obsess over the recipe and the process. We don’t use any preservatives, any artificial colors, or any GMO-sourced ingredients. Great taste without the chemicals. Plain and simple. A delicious, handcrafted, all-natural refreshment.

Drink Smart, Drink Well, Drink Virgil’s.

War Horse Brewery

IN 2008... 

War Horse Brewing Co. (then called Barley Yards) poured it's first pint. The beer was contract brewed in Rochester with a dream to open an on-site brewing facility in the future. In June of 2016, the dream was realized and our state of the art brewing facility was complete. We have grown and changed a great deal throughout the years. What hasn't changed is our our love of great people, great beer, and great stories.

War Horse Brewing Co. is part of Three Brothers Wineries & Estates. Imagine three unique wineries and a microbrewery all on one estate, overlooking beautiful Seneca Lake and voilà you've got Three Brothers. As a whole, our priority is a superior customer experience and our philosophy unabashedly argues "we've got something for everyone." Try us...we dare you.

Amy Irvine

Uncorking Amy Irvine!!

If any of you have ever met Amy, you know she is passionate about
three things. Family, Finances, and WINE! This comes through in all
that she does and all that she is. When asked to describe herself she first and foremost states, “I am a wife, a daughter, and hopefully a good friend, who happens to also be a financial planner.” Amy holds a Master’s Degree in financial planning and is a Certified Financial Planner TM , Enrolled Agent, Certified College Financial Consultant, and a Financial Wellness Coach with over 25 years of financial planning and industry experience. She is the Founder and owner of Rooted Planning Group, (Formerly known as Irvine Wealth Planning Strategies LLC), which started in 2016 and has grown to include 6 other planners and 2 part-time staff members. Amy is definitely “doing it her way” and has been recognized by her financial planning colleagues as being a “disrupter,” a title she holds close to her heart and is proud of.

Uniquely, at the age of 44, she decided to not only start her only company, but to act on what she defined as her perfect life and she splits her time between Parrish, Florida and Jasper, New York.
On her website it states, “I love what I do, but I also very much enjoy warmth, good
conversation, wine tastings, and volunteering. New York is extraordinary in the summer and fall, but so is Florida in the winter.”
In 2018, she decided it was time to take the stigma out of finances by combining her passion for finances and wine. She started a podcast called “Wine and Dime,” which highlights a different wine and financial topic each week, and she released her book combining those same two passions, titled, “Uncork Your Finances.”
Many of you may know her as one of the co-founders of the Southern Tier Women’s Financial Conference – a day of collaboration and financial education, which will be hosting it’s sixth year!
To round out her volunteering passion, she often provides financial education to the
community through the financial management program of Cornell Cooperative Extension of Steuben County, she serves on the board of Faith-in-Action of Steuben County, volunteers for various Fund For Women of the Southern Tier events, works with the finance committee of the Arts Council of the Southern Finger Lakes, and serves on the board for the Corning Painted Post Historical Society (also known as Heritage Village).
In her downtime, you’re likely to find her with a glass of red wine from one of the many Keuka or Seneca Lake wineries that she highlights in her Wine and Dime Podcast.
