CVD Radio

In September 2013 Kat Ellis formed her own radio talk show called Chords and Vines with local musician Joe Mullenix. Chords and Vines ran for six years.  The show began with a simple concept…showcase some of the best musical artists and pair their music to wines or brews from several award winning wineries or breweries. The broadcast gave many musicians the opportunity to have their music heard in areas where they wouldn’t normally be heard, thus creating increased fan base, sales, employment, music and writing collaborations, etc.  The show also introduces wines and brews to new enthusisants and potential club members. In 2022 the show was relaunched under the name of Chords, Vines, and Dines to include foods and dining but the show is so much more. Kat Ellis is the host with international food, wine, and travel writer Tom Plant as cohost. 

Broadcast location is primarily at the El-Ey Promo Creative Studio in Wildomar CA but ocassionally go on location to recording studios, restaurants, wineries, breweries, festivals, and music and wine trade shows including the prestigious Winter-NAMM Show in Anaheim California, LA WineFest, San Diego Food and Wine Festival, etc. Music guests on the show ranged from local artists to music industry legends.
