ME=PAULA ABDUL?

You=Falcon Crest wannabe? Ever wanted to launch your own wine company but didn’t know where to start? Well, here’s your chance. On March 6, a new TV series on PBS, The Wine Makers, will be in Dallas auditioning “characters” to compete for a chance to create and launch their own wine label. Credentials? Anyone from a wine snob to a novice–you just have to be enthusiastic and curious about vino. (I’m sure a tight tee and low-riding jeans wouldn’t hurt your chances.) The show will be set in Paso Robles and San Luis Obispo. There, the candidates will experience every aspect of winemaking from viticulture and enology to sales and marketing. Anywhoo, they’ve asked me to be a judge. Send your pitch to: casting@doccitytv.com and come strut your stuff.
