Sometimes the greatest thing that can happen to a soaring political career is a devastating loss. In this episode of Uncorked Wine, Business, and Life, Bill Green and Jerrold Colton sit down with recently retired New Jersey Supreme Court Justice Lee Solomon to explore his winding journey from local politics to the highest court in the state. Listeners will discover how to reframe personal failures into stepping stones for success while learning the critical difference between accepting fate and shaping your own destiny.

Over glasses of Saddlehill Pinot Noir and a rare 1982 Mouton Rothschild Bordeaux, Justice Solomon reflects on his dynamic legal career, including his deeply fulfilling tenure as Camden County Prosecutor and the technology-driven polarization of modern public service. He shares a chilling behind-the-scenes look at how artificial intelligence and deepfakes are already challenging the judicial system, but the most profound moment of the conversation shifts to a deeply personal family battle. You will hear the gripping story of his son’s harrowing fight with opioid addiction and the miraculous, split-second turning point in an airport van that changed their family's trajectory forever.
