In today’s Flavors Flashback, Café Rue Orleans Co-owner and Executive Chef Maudie Schmitt tells us about her first career Jim Langman was destined to be a pharmacist. He started working in pharmacies as a young teenager and worked his way up to being a VP at Walgreens. He was never a fan of beer, wine, or hard liquor, but will tell us how he ended up getting into wine. He would then buy a vineyard in the Sierra Foothills of California and will tell you why he decided against Napa. Jim and his wife Sue were going to move to California to the winery and live life there until Jim started getting courted by Walmart. After a second career with Walmart, they fell in love with Northwest Arkansas and scrapped the California plans, but not the wine. Jim will tell us about Langman Winery and Restaurant next, here on the Flavors of Northwest Arkansas.
