Send us a message and we always repsond!Concrete Park was released in 2 volumes via Dark Horse Comics in 2014 and 2015. Co-written by screenwriter Tony Puryear and actress Erika Alexander and additionally illustrated and lettered by Puryear, this book is something else, folks!Think of it as an urban sci-fi Game of Thrones. And a sort-of retelling of the white man coming to Australia, but in this case it's a multiracial group of "criminal" outcasts sent to an alien prison planet! A planet that, um...*might* still be populated with the natives!Tony Puryear is known as the screenwriter of the Arnold Schwarzenegger vehicle ERASER and as a key artist on Hillary Clinton's political campaign!Erika Alexander is the award-winning actress known for The Cosby Show, Living Single, Wu Tang: An American Saga and most recently American Fiction.Follow Tony:InstagramWebsiteFollow Erika:InstagramTHE WINESDave's Wine Pairing:Slice (or "SLCE") Skin Contact White Field Blend, Paso Robles, CaliforniaGrapes: 34% Chenin Blanc + 18% Pinot Gris + 12% Colombard + 9% Xarel.lo + 8% Verdelho + 6% Vermentino + 3% Gewurtztraminer + 3% Semillon + 3% Trousseau Gris + 2% Riesling + 2% Malvasia BiancaA wonderfully budget skin-contact white aka orange wine field blend.

He became a winemaker, and for 11 years worked in cellars and consulted all over Portugal. In 2016 however, tired of making wines to other people’s specifications, he decided to strike out on his own. A weightier white from a blend of Portuguese grapes that age briefly in old oak. Spicy orchard fruit, a creamy texture and lots of salty goodness make for a complex wine that doesn't sacrifice drinkability.Support the showBecome a "Produce-er", commisson your own episode, get a shout out on the show, and more at:vintertainmentstudios.comFollow us on the socials!https://www.instagram.com/vintertainmentpodhttps://bsky.app/profile/davebaxter.bsky.socialhttps://www.youtube.com/@vintertainmentstudios
