Michael and André took a bit of time to check out the Sparkle and Ice gala in Niagara on the Lake. André checked out the Icewine Gala in Niagara Fall the previous week. It’s been an Icewine filled January for the guys.

It’s time for another episode of our very popular Stump the Chump. This time we head south of the border with friend of the podcast Farrah Felten-Jolley of Klinker Brick located in Lodi.
