Tanya's entry for the Winemaker Cuisinternship

[rosecityvaudeville]

Bring on the hors d'oeuvres!

[rukind66]

Tanya enjoys sharing her knowledge of food and wine all the time. What she doesn't know today, she will tomorrow, and have an event planned by Sunday. She's the real thing!

[ravicher]

yummy, tanya you are truly the queen of hospitality, my vote goes for you

[LostMachine]

Now I am hungry.

[jtimmes212]

Tanya is the embodiment of this cuisinternship! She is full of the joy and love that crazy good food and wine bring to people's lives. Her community would be bland, and very hungry without her!

[jtimmes212]

TZ is incredible creative, generous and a true lover of all things good and pleasurable! Stupendous wine and luscious food are a perfect expression of Tanya's joy and belief in providing all who encounter her, a slice of heaven on earth. Her community would be bland (and hungry!) without her!

[sistersherry]

Amazing cook - and hostess!! I wish Tanya would/could feed me on a daily basis!!

[artemismerkaba]

what a lady!! she can cook in my kitchen any time!!

[MissChang76]

tanya is brilliant!  she is the perfect candidate!

[bigredmc]

Tanya has more passion for knowledge of food and wine than anyone I know, and her love of spreading this knowledge to her community is the beauty of what passion is for! I vote for Tanya!!

[brianboyoverall]

I imagine a world without you and your gastrointestinal delicacies, your graciousness and you love for sharing great food and great friends and the world seems so much grayer. Please pick this wonderful person. She is what family and great tastes are all about.

[wbfine129]

Terrific video. Getting Tanya hooked up with this Wine Cuisinternship is as good a fit as a yummy Oregon pinot with a great piece of grilled salmon and rosemary roasted fingerlings. TZ is a woman of many culinary talents, the best of which is to share these with the people she loves.

[rundlemp]

Cool video!

[shinypurplebike]

To be honest, I feel like this video is steeped too deeply in video effects. It takes away from what she's saying. This is my opinion.

[gyxie001]

Tanya is perfect for the Cuisinternship! And I love this video...

[macgyvra]

tanya is so deserving of this chance. she is so knowledgeable, talented and kind and loves to share her kitchen goodness. i have learned so much from watching her culinary creations in progress! you would be blessed to have her in your company!

[plyker]

can I sleep with you?

[jennyhornung]

this woman really does have it going on: super intriguing, fun video - makes you want to see what she'll get up to!! my vote is completely hers.

[bleuefish]

"that's the stuff right there..."

truer words never spoken!

[smilehyena]

I'll never forget the Thanksgivings at your house, so full of light and love...and of course the downright amazing, delicious food & drink that comes out of your kitchen- as only a kitchen as fabulous and dedicated as yours can inspire! The choice here is obvious. I am so excited for you to explore the wineries up close & personal and bring some of that tasty knowledge back to us!

[hgmsc1]

Your passion for all things culinary and wine related shines through in the video - as do your one of a kind sense of fun and style! Pick Tanya!

[piperewan]

i have had the privilege of being a guest of numerous events, and i can attest to the diversity, the deliciousness, the care taken, skills and fun! i am not sure how you can manage to do so many things at once for days and days on end, and each being at least of more energetic and delicious as the last one. best of luck in these endeavours, grand opportunities await!

[009plantmother]

Excellent Tanya- You would be the best choice and they would love spending the time with you as so many others do!

[heaveekevee]

Tanya,

You are on the right track, my dear. It was fun hanging out with you last night. You sure do know how to feed a hungry bus!

I'll have 25 tacos to go, please. Much love. Great video!

[tmonstapirate]

Go Tanya! You so deserve this!

[hungarianmenace]

Dy-no-mite! Food and wine are obviously her passions.

[opalminded]

[Pedrohammermonkey]

Tanya, you are a natural for conveying passion for food, and, via humor and wit, making it accessible to anyone.

I hope you win!

[TheMzChief]

Tanya, you are the most devoted, talented foodie it has ever been my privilege to meet. You were MADE for this internship, and beyond....!

[mamabotanica]

Damn! Absolutely entertaining, stylish, brilliant, clever, sophisticated, playful, and purely delightful. Not only does she have the palate for it - she knows practically everyone and will have tons of friends who will be eager to sample her wine-making wares)!

[spiritcookie]

What a smart sophisticated (yet down to earth) lady. She brings great strengths to all she does and truly loves good wine and food (and the combination of the two!)

[talkwithyoureyes]

What a busy gal! Anyone with that particular blend of interests is bound to have an equally interesting taste palette. Rock it!

[pieponet]

a-game!

[monkeytito]

I have had numerous adventures gastronomically with Tanya. She is honest, acute, and well versed, not to mention a great sense of humor! She knows her stuff, can talk to all kinds of people about food, and her love of food is matched only by her passion to share knowledge of good food with others. I am honored to have had a seat at her table!

[mykle666]

There's nobody better!

[bigredmc]

Tanya has inspired so many, with her smile, her hugs, her knowledge, her generosity, and her efforts to enhance her community through food and wine.

The video says it all, that's the love right there!

[pdxautumn]

She rules....enough said!

[pdxautumn]

Well she pretty much rules, she always brings her A game....in the 9 or so years I've know her she just keeps getting better and better. There is NO other candidate more deserving that miss TZ!!!

[lighthousebruce]

Tanya is an amazing hostess and connoisseur of fine food and wine.

[saillerua]

I have been a guest at Tanya's kitchen many times, and each time is always a delight and an honor. I am consistently amazed by her grace in the kitchen, talent with tastes and senses for the best.. yes only the best. Tanya deserves a place where she can continue to learn and bring her spirit and passions to all who sit at her table! Good Luck Tanya!

[fluxxx77]

Tanya makes everything better. She's incredibly adept on so many levels I'm not sure where to start. Besides her extreme level of talent, she's also one of the very sweetest people on the planet! And, she's level-headed, patient, and articulate. What more could you ask for?!

[sijapdx]

Tanya is one of the most truly passionate gourmet palate's I know and is very generous about sharing it with her friends and acquaintances. Not only does she have the serious chops for this role, she would add her own zest and flair that would take it to the next level. Great video!

[TheOneAndOnlyLadyN]

She is truly one of the most talented & greatest contributers to the food and wine world - anyone would be blessed to have her by thier side

[drkdsmith]

Tanya makes me salivate whenever she talks about food and wine. She describes things with such clarity and joy, that it's almost a visceral experience. Her travels are definitely enriched by her ability to appreciate the finer qualities of dining. I hope she receives this opportunity. Oregon Bounty would definitely benefit!

[tabatosh]

One of the most organized, level-headed passionate, talented jack-of-all-food-wine-serving-­health-finery-hostess-chef-ext­raordinaire ever to bless the Portland Community - I can think of no one better!

[Lonstron]

Why consider Tanya for the Cuisinternship?

Tanya's genuine love and interest for the art of wine & fine foods, great imagination and energy to pursue any challenge, offers you an intern with all the right personal motivation.

Tanya is no stranger to local community events and marketing of Oregon products and services. This candidate comes with much experience in her pocket, and a huge community ready and willing to support her efforts!

And this truly great video entry speaks for itself!

[lobstarboy]

Great video. Can't think of a more qualified recipient for a cuisinternship. Go Tanya!

[DeeTheKay]

The finest master sommelier could find no better pairing than that of Tanya Zumach and the bounty of Oregon!

[swhitemore]

If Tanya's wine is half as good as her food, it will be amazing! !

[OcelliMusic]

Tonya hosts and preps the finest Thanksgiving dinner in TOWN...no doubt about it.

It goes off without a hitch year after year after year...with a massive swarming crowd of friends and family and guests...with more dishes than you can shake a stick at. I've never seen anything like it. It's my favorite dinner all year*

Tonya is the Artiste' de Cuisina

[drbootslist]

That lady has it goin' ON!

[MrIndigomontoya69]

This is one of the most inventive way to express oneself for the purpose of a contest. I would vote for you if I were a judge!
