From Seoul to Soul: Gina Markle’s Journey with Ji’s Kimchi

This week on Beyond the Vines, I’m joined by Gina Markle—the incredible entrepreneur behind Ji’s Kimchi. Raised in the Bay Area and inspired by her Korean roots, Gina began making kimchi while serving in the Coast Guard in Alaska. What started as a craving for home quickly became a business that now brings bold, beautiful flavor to kitchens across Sonoma County. We talk heritage, entrepreneurship, and what it means to share your love through food. You can find Ji’s Kimchi at @ginajikimchi on Instagram and jiskimchi.com. You can find Amy Ahlers at amyahlersrealestate.com and @amyahlers_realtor on Instagram.
