INTERVIEW

Vivo In Vino is an "intimate wine salon" started by our good buddies over at In Vino (who you have probably seen at all of our parties) on the Lower East Side.  The restaurant pairs some of NYC's most interesting musicians with inspiring wines for a night of listening, chatter, and... tasting.  We sat down with the brains behind the series to talk about the artists, how this all came to be, and what kind of wine they'd pair with Lil' Weezy.

 

Tell us a little bit about Vivo in Vino. Where did the idea come from? How did it all begin?

He cooks. He plays music. He dresses up. And he edited this entire video. You can't say the kid isn't talented.  It's been a while since a new episode aired on Frankie Cooks and You Can Too. Marking his return, in typical Frankie style, is an over-the-top video that you can laugh and learn from.  And you better believe that pizza tastes even better than it looks.
