In Episode 126, Adam and Joe are joined by Nick Antalek, managing partner of SoNapa’s new Daytona Beach Shores location, for an onsite conversation at “The Shores.”

With the restaurant buildout underway, the guys get into the realities—and headaches—of opening a new restaurant in today’s business environment. From construction and costs to the unexpected challenges that come with bringing a new location to life, Nick gives an inside look at what it takes to get The Shores ready for opening.

Naturally, this conversation requires wine.

Adam, Joe, and Nick pour two wines from JACE Cellars: a Sauvignon Blanc-driven Bordeaux-style white blend and a 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, made with grapes sourced from Pine Mountain-Cloverdale Peak in Sonoma County. They taste, compare, and—perhaps more than sample—the wines while debating the challenges facing restaurant owners and operators today.

It’s wine, business, restaurant development, and a behind-the-scenes look at the newest SoNapa location—all filmed onsite in Daytona Beach Shores.
