Erin Fitzpatrick wraps up 2010 with friend of the station, wine impresario and founder of The Barterhouse, Brian DiMarco. Join Erin & Brian on the latest episode of At the Root of It as they discuss the effects that ratings systems have on wine production, and how some wines are being "Parkerized" these days to fit a mold. Brian also talks about his experiences with 100 point wines and why he feels his personal mission is to make good wine accessible at an affordable price for all consumers, even those without total access. This episode was sponsored by the aforementioned Barterhouse. For more information on these great wines, visit www.thebarterhouse.com

This week on Flash Talks Cash Andrew and Flash take on the old axiom, "It Takes Money to Make Money". With banks offering less than one percent returns on money sitting in their vaults, Flash suggests some more meaningful ways to make your money work for you. Callers concerned with 401ks and the eternal question of whether an IRS or Credit debt is more pressing got their questions answered, as did some listeners who sent their queries via email. Finally, with new tougher puzzles in place, Andrew floundered instead of asserting his usual dominance during the third Stump the Champ segment. This episode was sponsored by Fairway: like no other market.
