Stone Castle Vineyards & Winery
Stone Castle Vineyards & Winery is reportedly the leading winery in Kosovo. Yet the label continues to work towards forging a path in this Balkan wine region to elevate it alongside some of Europe’s more renowned wine appellations. Much like visionary winemaker Robert Mondavi, as known for leading California wine to world-class status, Stone Castle’s Rrustem Gecaj has brought his unwavering belief in the region’s viticultural potential, considerable business acumen, and love for his homeland to put Kosovo on the international wine map.
In 2006, the Gecaj family acquired what was formerly a large, state-owned winery known as “NBI Rahoveci,” which the Yugoslavian government built in 1953. Rrustem Gecaj renamed it Stone Castle Vineyards & Winery, and along with his extended family — specifically his sons Avni and Avdi — he passionately committed to revitalizing a fertile agricultural region that boasts a 2,000-year history of winemaking. All of Stone Castle’s wines are made from estate-grown grapes from the heart of the Rahovec Valley, known locally as the “Tuscany of Kosovo.” To date, the Gecaj family has received more than 100 international awards for their wines and has succeeded in expanding distribution to other markets in the Balkans, Western Europe, Africa, and now the U.S.
Founder Ritch Viola started Every Man Jack in his San Francisco garage over a decade ago. Back in 2007, men’s grooming products were either too expensive or formulated with harmful chemicals–that’s when he knew there had to be a better way. After collaborating with manufacturers that specialized in formulating products with clean ingredients, Every Man Jack was born.
With much success from partnering with well-known retailers like Target, Whole Foods, CVS and Walmart, the team’s life changed for the better. From packing up orders in the garage day and night, Viola’s children even jumped in loading up shipments on the weekends, to help out the family business. The brand is currently offering free shipping on all $50.00+ orders from its website.
5to9 Wellness is reportedly determined to breach the gap in the healthcare industry with its Mind Unwind natural herbal remedy.

In turn, it is an instant solution that aims to aid stress, pain and anxiety. Kudos to 5to9 Wellness co-owners Billy Kim and Michael Ni.
Per its website, Innovative CBD is a family-owned company with a love for nature, a commitment to quality, and a passion for handcrafting products. It aims to change the way that hemp oils are processed and extracted, sourcing the world’s finest organic ingredients it can fine and blending them with its new Innovative CBD true full spectrum oil. Producing a world first in all natural powerful CBD products. Especially impressive to me from the Innovative CBD brand are its full-spectrum CBD lozenges. They come in 4-packs of 5mg pieces for easy microdosing and are available in 6 flavors: Apple, Cherry, Lemon, Key Lime, Tangerine, Watermelon, Peppermint & Butterscotch. The product’s THC is below 0.01%, so you will not get high from consuming these great lozenges.

Earlier this year, I covered (and recommended) 10 Barrel Brewing Co. with relation to its work for Earth Day 2021. More recently, 10 Barrel Brewing Co. launched its 10 Barrel Pilsner.

The latest offering I have tried from the 10 Barrel Brewing team is its new Hop Project Variety Pack, as packed with a new beer called Travel Agent. This new IPA is packed with New Zealand hops that bring the beer a bright, floral and citrusy flavor. The beer is brewed with fresh grapefruit, lemon and Valencia orange to make this IPA crisp and refreshing. It carries a respectable ABV of 5.9 percent.
