Monique Soltani Returns to Television After Heartbreaking Loss as Wine Oh! TV Debuts...
SAN FRANCISCO, February 13, 2023 (Newswire.com) - Thinque Media announced today the new season of Wine Oh! TV will release on February 14, 2023. The brand new season will be founder and host Monique Soltani's first since losing her husband to Colon Cancer, the first as a single mom, and her first post-pandemic production.
"When Mark got sick, my show felt so small and when we lost Mark, we lost everything. Then Covid came and we lost community. I was drowning but I had our four year-old twins to save from sinking," remembers Soltani.
I rise again reborn with a new sense of purpose yet my intention remains the same. Life is meant to be shared. We come together around the table, life's most meaningful moments made with a meal. Human connection isn't just essential, it is everything, and as always, my through-line to connecting with the world is wine."
Wine Oh! TV invites audiences to join Soltani on her journey from trauma to triumph as she travels to wine regions around the world with the purpose of bringing people together by connecting through community and culture.
The new season of Wine Oh! TV debuts on Valentine's Day 2023 and made available to watch directly on wineoh.tv. The first episode features Umbria, Italy, the home of Saint Valentine, where he used a wine from the region to marry star-crossed lovers. Each additional new episode is set to be released throughout the winter and spring months and made available for audiences around the world to watch on wineoh.tv while distribution deals are in the works.
"As I think about Wine Oh! TV this season, the word joy always comes to mind," said Soltani. "After experiencing tremendous loss in my own life and learning to navigate a new normal with two small children, my focus now is to bring joy to the world. Wine Oh! TV is a family-friendly show you can turn on while you are making dinner and your children are running around the house or helping you in the kitchen. Wine is the through-line but at its heart it's about people, places, how we come together, and what connects us."
Every episode also answers three essential questions most asked by Wine Oh! TV's audience over the last decade: What is there to drink, what is there to do, and what is there to eat in each wine region. This season Wine Oh! TV shines the spotlight on smaller wine regions with Umbria, Walla Walla, Mendocino, Paso Robles, and Lodi taking center stage.
New this season, Wine Oh! TV brought on the best team in the business. The domestic episodes were shot by DuPont, Peabody, SPJ, Murrow, Scripts Howard, and Emmy award-winning Cinematographer Michael Horn and assisted by James Beard and Emmy award-winning journalist Mary Orlin. With power house Emmy award-winning Anaconda Street Productions making magic in the post production department. Wine Oh! TV is now shot in the half-hour format for legacy television and online distribution.
"I am so grateful to have found my way back after all I have been through and so thankful to all of you for seeing me through. We are all on a journey and I hope you will join me on mine as I travel to wine regions around the world with the purpose of bringing people together by breaking bread, opening a bottle, and connecting through culture," said Soltani.

How to Get Rid of Your Debt From Last Year
Financial Steps to Take Once You’re Married in 2023
NEW YORK, February 10, 2023 (Newswire.com) - iQuanti: Getting married is an exciting time, but it also means taking on new financial responsibilities. Here are seven important steps to take once you're married in 2023:
1. Discuss personal finances first
The most critical piece to ensuring your marriage is successful is to start with open communication about your finances. Talk with your partner about your current financial situation and your finance-related goals for the future. Ask them to do the same and ensure you're both on the same page.
Some questions to consider:
- Do we want kids? How will we pay for their education?
- Do we want to own a home or rent for the foreseeable future?
- How much debt do we each have? How critical is it for us to get out of debt quickly?
- How much savings do we feel we need? Is there an amount we'd consider "too low" to be comfortable? How will we each contribute to the savings?
- What are our retirement goals?
- What investments do we have, and how comfortable are we with taking risks in the stock market?
- What are our credit scores? Do we need to make it a priority for one or both of us to improve it? (This is especially critical as your goals for marriage and credit scores can either work in harmony or make your home life stressful very quickly.)
2. Decide if you'll open joint accounts or keep your finances separate
Traditionally married couples would combine their finances into joint accounts. This is changing as more couples earn dual incomes to save for their individual and combined goals. Joint accounts can be beneficial, but only if both partners are comfortable with the arrangement. If you're one of these couples, it's important to have open and honest conversations about the arrangement.
If you choose to separate your finances, create a budget for each person and discuss spending regularly. This way, you'll stay accountable and avoid any financial surprises down the road.
3. Change over your beneficiary information
If you have any life insurance, retirement plans, or other assets that will benefit your partner after you die, it's important to change these beneficiary designations as soon as possible. By doing this, your partner will be the primary beneficiary of these assets, and they'll be able to access them without legal complications.
4. Create a budget and stick to it
A budget is essential for anyone looking to live a financially successful life. Whether married or not, creating and sticking to a budget is vital for your short-term and long-term goals. Creating a budget can be simple - just take a look at your expenses over the past three months and divide them into categories (food, housing, transportation, etc.). Once you have a good idea of where your money is going each month, you can start making adjustments to ensure you're always spending within your means.
5. Discuss asset ownership and make the necessary changes
If you and your spouse own assets, such as a home or car, you should consider how ownership will be handled once you're legally married. Some couples will add their spouse as a co-owner, while others opt to keep assets separate. Whichever you decide to do, it's essential you and your spouse are on the same page so that there aren't any feelings of resentment that come up later.
6. Update your tax withholding
If you're a W-2 employee, consider updating your tax withholding status with your payroll department now that you'll be filing jointly.
7. Get a financial review
Sitting down together and getting a thorough financial review will help you identify areas where you may be overspending or under-investing and make necessary changes so you two are on track for your long-term goals. A financial advisor can also help you create a budget and assess your credit score, so you know where you and your partner stand.
The bottom line
By following these simple tips, you and your spouse will be better positioned to achieve your goals together and ensure your marriage is long and happy.

Kane Kalas, Son of Hall of Fame Sportscaster Harry Kalas, Releases His Rendition of...
PHILADELPHIA, February 10, 2023 (Newswire.com) - Kane Kalas, son of Hall of Fame Philadelphia Phillies sportscaster Harry Kalas, has released his rendition of the "Eagles' Victory Song" to commemorate the team's place in the big game.
The "Eagles' Victory Song," commonly referred to as "Fly, Eagles Fly," has played a major part in Philadelphia sports culture since the 1950s. While several artists have covered the piece, Kane's version is unique, with a marching band feel and operatic vocals delivered by the classically-trained recording artist. Kane's "Eagles' Victory Song" evokes excitement and suspense; think John Philip Sousa, with maybe a splash of Mendelssohn.
The cover opens with a touchdown monologue voiced by legendary Philadelphia Eagles sportscaster—and the longest-tenured announcer in the NFL—Merrill Reese.
"The 'Eagles' Victory Song' is not only the fight song of the Philadelphia Eagles; in many ways, it is the fight song of the city of Philadelphia itself," says Kane.
"If you're ever in Philly when the Eagles are playing—it doesn't matter where—you're sure to know whenever the Eagles score a touchdown by the rumbling of 'E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES' from a chorus of fans throughout the city. There's nothing more electric than being among a sea of fans at the Linc during a game and joining them in the chant after the Eagles score."
In addition to his role as the Phillies play-by-play broadcaster, Kane's father, Harry Kalas, frequently broadcasted Eagles games for Westwood One. Kane vividly remembers watching the games with his father growing up and cheering on the Eagles. "I must've been four years old the first time I watched an Eagles game with my dad—the Eagles scored a touchdown, and he began to bellow the 'Eagles' Victory Song.' It was the first time I had heard it," Kane recalls. "He was a true homer. Dad often said there were no sports fans in the world as enthusiastic as Philadelphia fans; that's why he pledged to spend his entire broadcasting career in Philly."
Kane's forthcoming album High Hopes is lovingly dedicated to his father and the city of Philadelphia.
