Guests at Vino currently might be limited to 10 at a table and COVID dining restrictions, but once inside ( or on the patio) they are in for a treat. Chef owner DK Kodama is in the kitchen and first lady of wine, Ivy Nagayama, is waiting tables - and recommending wines, of course. Ivy joins Jo to chat about the most popular menu items at all three restaurants and on upcoming special events.
